They Always Knew
Resilience Unveiled: Triumph Amidst Life's Discords
Lyrics
Art they made, didn't get paid
Despite creating art, they did not receive compensation for their efforts.
Gig they played, nobody came
Their performance had no audience attendance.
Tape they mailed, test they failed
The tape they sent for a test was unsuccessful.
Not accepted, drove and wrecked it
Their submission was not accepted, and they damaged their vehicle.
Bad review, photo too
Received a negative review along with an unflattering photo.
Got caught up in bad luck
Caught up in a streak of misfortune.
Heart breaken, mistaken
Experienced heartbreak and made a mistake.
Funny lookin', nothing cookin'
Being perceived as funny-looking with no positive developments.
Got sold cheap, then sold cheaper
Their work was undervalued and sold at a low price.
Hit rock botom then fell deaper
Hit rock bottom and sank even deeper.
Wrote a keeper, lost the tape
Created something valuable but lost it.
And even lost the piece of paper
Lost both the recording and the accompanying notes.
Empty benches, monkey wrenches
Encountered obstacles and disruptions.
Common sense sez "leave the trenches"
Common sense advises leaving difficult situations.
What a life, it ain't right
Expressing dissatisfaction with life's unfairness.
A hopeless fight, no end in sight
Feeling trapped in a seemingly endless struggle.
But- they always knew they'd make it!
Despite challenges, they always believed they would succeed.
Dented mics, rented mics he meant, she meant
Mic equipment was damaged or rented, and disagreements arose.
Dis - agreements
Faced legal issues and conflicts with record labels.
Legal hassless, label battles
Lyrics were stifled, and musical instruments were broken.
Lyrics choken, strings broken
Fought against obstacles and purchased tickets for their shows.
Fight they fought, tix they bought
Traveled by flight, organized a performance, and people noticed.
Flight they flew, show they threw
Highlighting the unpredictability of outcomes, encouraging betting.
People saw, sound was raw
Emphasizing the raw and genuine nature of their sound.
Don't forget, now place yr bets
An invitation to remember their worth and take a chance on them.
Would be a tragedy to miss 'em
Missing their performance would be a tragic oversight.
A travesy of the system
Criticizing the flaws within the system they operate in.
Such devotion, no promotion
Despite lack of promotion, they exhibit strong dedication.
Small fish in a giant ocean
Acknowledging their small presence in a vast industry.
Saw the gypsy, she was tipsy
Encountered a fortune-telling gypsy who was under the influence.
(crystal ball was full of whiskey)
The gypsy's predictions were influenced by alcohol.
Say, should they give it a go, hey?
Considering whether to pursue their musical aspirations.
Ball said all signs point to no way!
The fortune ball advises against pursuing their goals.
But - they always knew they'd make it!
Despite setbacks, they always maintained the belief they would succeed.
