I Took a Beating
Surviving the Beatings: A Tale of Resilience in I Am the Avalanche's 2000s Saga
Lyrics
I took a beating in 2003
I faced difficulties or challenges in the year 2003.
At least I improved
Despite the challenges, I managed to grow or develop.
My threshold for pain
I learned to endure or tolerate more pain.
See my eyes swelled up and poured out blood
My eyes swelled and bled, indicating physical harm.
He spent six months just cleaning it up
Someone spent a significant amount of time helping me recover from the harm.
The doctor said he'd stitch up the cut for me
A doctor promised to stitch up a cut for me, implying medical assistance.
My next beating's in two weeks
Anticipation of another challenging situation in two weeks.
I've been taking a beating, in 2004
Experiencing hardships in the year 2004.
yeah only two months have passed by
Only two months into the year, and I'm already facing difficulties.
I'm already on the floor
I find myself metaphorically on the ground, struggling.
I took a baseball bat straight to the knees
Subjected to a direct physical attack with a baseball bat.
I buckled over in the cold Brooklyn street
I collapsed in pain on a cold Brooklyn street.
The same doctor helped me back to my feet
The same doctor who helped me before assisted me in standing up again.
He said to me "I'll see you in two weeks"
The doctor predicts another challenging event in two weeks.
And if I take a beating (beating) in 2005 (beating)
Expressing the expectation of facing difficulties in 2005.
It'll be a miracle (beating)
Considering enduring another challenge in the following year would be miraculous.
If I'm still alive (beating)
Expressing doubt about surviving further challenges.
