You Can't Kill Us
Unbreakable Resilience: Defying Darkness with Icon for Hire
Lyrics
I swear to God at night when I close my eyes
Expressing a deep connection to inner struggles during moments of reflection.
I can still see this little lost girl inside
A metaphorical acknowledgment of unresolved emotional issues from the past.
And I don't know how to help her, I don't know what to do
Feeling helpless and uncertain about how to address the inner turmoil.
Supposed to have this figured out but I'm so confused
Contradiction of societal expectations and personal confusion.
For years I cried myself to sleep every night
Past struggles manifested in nightly emotional pain.
Lived one day at a time, trying to just stay alive
Living day by day, focusing on survival in challenging circumstances.
And I knew people had it worse, but that didn't make me better
Acknowledgment of others facing more significant challenges without diminishing personal struggles.
Took all I had inside just to hold myself together
Struggling to maintain emotional stability against internal pressures.
But I knew I couldn't stop, kept hoping one day
A determination to persevere despite the hardships.
Maybe I'd make it to a stage and tell you 'it's all okay.'
Aspiration to reach a point where one can reassure others that everything will be okay.
And that 'I love you. Even if I haven't met you yet
Expressing love and support for others, even those not yet encountered.
Hold on, stay strong and never forget.'
Encouragement to hold on, stay strong, and remember the message.
We've been lost, been to the bottom
Repeated emphasis on resilience and the indomitable inner fire despite challenges.
Beaten up, torn and forgotten
-Still we fight, we will survive
-Can't kill the fire we feel inside
-We've been burned, chained and depleted
-Left alone, we're not defeated
-Still we fight, we will survive
-Can't kill the fire we feel inside
-You can't, you can't kill us
Reinforcement of the theme that external forces cannot extinguish the inner strength.
You can't, you can't kill us
-Everyday I felt a little less pain inside
Describing a gradual reduction in emotional pain over time.
But at that rate I knew I'd hurt until the day I died
Awareness that the pain may persist until the end of one's life.
I refused to let the darkness, have the last say
Refusing to let darkness dictate the narrative and choosing a different path.
So when it came to call my name, I had to run the other way
Actively avoiding negative influences and maintaining a positive direction.
Maybe that's what it takes, you have to tell the pain no
Recognizing the need to reject and overcome pain.
Have to let the sick parts of your heart finally go
Releasing the negative aspects of the heart to make space for positivity.
Make room for the light, let it pull you in close
Encouraging the embrace of light and seeking solace during difficult times.
And if you're ever feeling lower, you know where to go
-We've been lost, been to the bottom
Reiteration of the theme of survival and resilience despite adversities.
Beaten up, torn and forgotten
-Still we fight, we will survive
-Can't kill the fire we feel inside
-We've been burned, chained and depleted
-Left alone, we're not defeated
-Still we fight, we will survive
-Can't kill the fire we feel inside
-You can't, you can't kill us
Reaffirmation that external forces are incapable of extinguishing inner strength.
You can't, you can't kill us
-One day we're gonna wake up, we're gonna be alright
Hopeful vision of a future where the past no longer holds power, and growth is possible.
We'll look back and be happy that we kept ourselves alive
-We'll honor where we came from, see what the hurt was for
-But we don't let our past hold us hostage anymore
-Cause we got more to give, more to live, more to be
-More to who we are than our broken history
-Like an army we all know it's not all better yet
-But we hold on, stay strong, and never forget
-You can't, you can't kill us
Final assertion of invincibility against external attempts to quench inner strength.
You can't, you can't kill us
-We've been lost, been to the bottom
Concluding emphasis on resilience, survival, and the enduring inner fire.
Beaten up, torn and forgotten
-Still we fight, we will survive
-Can't kill the fire we feel inside
-We've been burned, chained and depleted
-Left alone, we're not defeated
-Still we fight, we will survive
-Can't kill the fire we feel inside
-You can't, you can't kill us
Last declaration of indomitable strength against external threats.
You can't, you can't kill us
-You can't, you can't kill us
-You can't, you can't kill us
