Survive
Rising from Despair: Isabella Flint's Powerful Journey through Adversity
Lyrics
They told me the story
Introduction to a narrative told to the singer
I never thought it was true
The singer was skeptical about the story's authenticity
I had to get on my knees to beg the truth
The singer had to plead earnestly to uncover the truth
Something was wrong
Sensing something was amiss
Somehow I didn’t know
The singer lacked awareness despite the signs
Don’t you dare make me lose my hope
An impassioned plea not to lose hope
No matter what
Determination to not be perceived as weak
I was not the weak one
Rejection of being seen as weak
Even though she said so
Contradiction against someone labeling the singer as weak
And they gain their strength
Others deriving strength while the singer feels burdened
My shoulders down to the ground
Emotional and physical burden pulling the singer down
I used to cry, my heart out...
The singer used to cry intensely
Can anybody survive bad times?
Questioning survival during tough times
Much hurts won’t be uncovered by
Hidden pain and suffering
But I can feel the pain in there
The singer senses pain but it's not openly discussed
Don’t you dare make me lose my hope
A fervent plea to not lose hope
That’s my only clothes
Metaphorical expression of vulnerability
One last thing I say
Firm disbelief in others' innocence
I won't ever believe
Refusal to believe in others' unawareness
That they didn’t know
Perception that others were aware
But I would overcome
Determination to overcome challenges
Tried hard to look at my mirror but
Inability to see oneself clearly
No self-reflection
Lack of self-awareness
They didn't want to take the blame
Others avoiding responsibility
That burnt me out,
Feeling depleted due to others' actions
Asked back my strength
Request to regain lost strength
For years on that ruthless place
Enduring a harsh environment without growth
I fell to grow
Stagnation despite the passage of time
Take me out now
An urgent plea to be removed from the situation
I used to cry, my heart out...
Intense emotional distress expressed through crying
Can anybody survive bad times?
Questioning survival during tough times (repeated)
Much hurts won’t be uncovered by
Hidden pain and suffering (repeated)
But I can feel the pain in there
The singer feels pain but conceals it (repeated)
Don’t you dare make me lose my hope
A fervent plea to not lose hope (repeated)
That’s my only clothes
Metaphorical expression of vulnerability (repeated)
I used to cry, my heart out...
Intense emotional distress expressed through crying (repeated)
Can anybody survive bad times?
Questioning survival during tough times (repeated)
Much hurts won’t be uncovered by
Hidden pain and suffering (repeated)
But I can feel the pain in there
The singer feels pain but conceals it (repeated)
Don’t you dare make me lose my hope
A fervent plea to not lose hope (repeated)
That’s my only clothes
Metaphorical expression of vulnerability (repeated)
