For Esme
Unveiling the Resilience of Esme: A Musical Odyssey of Triumph and Defiance
Lyrics
Seems the competition is sweet like a slap in the face
The competition is intense and challenging, akin to a jarring experience.
This is a 3-legged race
Life is likened to a three-legged race, suggesting a struggle or obstacle.
It was your meanness that told us you might have legs
The person's meanness hints at their potential strength or determination.
Your spine keeps getting in the way
Obstacles represented by the spine hinder progress or success.
You're a fool to think they care what you think
Warning against the illusion that others care about one's opinions.
In this pond some rise, some sink
In life, some succeed while others fail, comparing it to a pond where some rise and some sink.
And which one are you, you budding star, you?
Questioning the listener's position in the journey of success and fame.
Too dark for shopping malls, no hooks, no leads at all
Unsuitable for mainstream success, lacking catchy elements.
Never trust an artist who tells you he has a choice
Caution against trusting artists who claim to have choices, suggesting a lack of control.
You can't run faster than your voice
Limitations are emphasized, implying one's voice or expression can't surpass certain constraints.
Sing your life despite the spite it may bring
Encouraging to express oneself despite potential negativity.
It's your life to write, so sing
Emphasizing the importance of writing one's own life story through song.
Just bring the drama
Advocating for intensity and passion in artistic expression.
Shameless and crawling
Suggesting a bold and unapologetic approach, even if it involves crawling.
Over glass and underground
Describing a difficult journey over obstacles and beneath the surface.
Esme needs her story now
Highlighting the urgency of sharing Esme's story, indicating its significance.
So don't break down
An urging to persevere and not succumb to breakdowns or failures.
Don't break down
A repeated emphasis on resilience and not giving in to adversity.
