Give It Up
Embracing the Journey: Joel Jerome's Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
So I might sail into the edge
Contemplating facing a challenging situation or pushing boundaries.
But that's alright I finally see the sun
Acceptance of difficulties, finding solace or clarity in a tough situation.
I don't have all the things that I want
Acknowledgment of lacking desired possessions or achievements.
But I won't know for sure till the end
Uncertainty about the outcome until the end of a journey or experience.
No, I won't know for sure till the end
Reiteration of uncertainty and the need to reach the end for clarity.
Never gonna give it up
Determination to persist and not abandon a pursuit or goal.
Never gonna settle up and walk away
Commitment to face challenges without giving up or walking away.
Never gonna give it up
Reaffirmation of the resolve to keep going despite obstacles.
Even if I never make it all the way
Commitment to persevere, even if the ultimate goal is not achieved.
The Man is always in the way
The presence of external obstacles represented by "The Man."
But I can't blame anybody else
Personal accountability for one's actions, avoiding blame on others.
For the things that I do to myself
Recognition of self-inflicted challenges or consequences.
When I don't play the game that they want
Choosing not to conform to societal expectations or rules.
When I don't play the games that they want
Repeated emphasis on not conforming to societal expectations.
When I don't play the game like they want
Defiance against playing a prescribed role according to societal norms.
Never gonna give it up
Reiteration of the determination to persist and not give up.
Never gonna settle up and walk away
Continued commitment to face challenges without walking away.
Never gonna give it up
Reaffirmation of the resolve to persist despite obstacles.
Even if I never make it all the way
Commitment to persevere, even if the ultimate goal remains elusive.
An old man, I woke up from the dream
Reflection on waking up from a significant experience or realization.
But I want to go right back to sleep
Desire to return to a state of ignorance or avoidance of reality.
And I know that I won't be again
Acknowledgment that one may not become what was initially believed necessary.
What I thought I needed to be...
Repetition emphasizing the reconsideration of perceived needs and identity.
What I thought I needed to be...
-What I thought I needed to be...
-What I thought I needed to be.....
