Cheap Shot
Resilience Unveiled: Overcoming Betrayal with Ken Yokoyama's 'Cheap Shot'
Lyrics
When we first parted
Reflecting on the initial separation
I thought our friendship
Expectation of enduring friendship
would keep Wanted to believe
Desire to maintain the belief in friendship
But with my back turned
Discovery of betrayal with back turned
You drove the knife in so deep
Deep emotional wound caused by betrayal
I didn't know to look
Ignorance about the impending betrayal
That sad cheap shot you took
Reference to a hurtful action taken
I had no fucking clue
Lack of awareness about the betrayal
Now I know how to flinch
Learned response to protect oneself
When someone moves an inch
Readiness to defend against potential harm
I can't be hurt by you
Emotional resilience and immunity to further harm
I know what to do
Adaptation and coping mechanism
Then I was wounded
Recollection of past vulnerability
There was no place I could turn
Sense of isolation and despair
Nowhere to return
Feeling of having no refuge or solace
But, you had taught me
Recognizing the lesson learned from betrayal
Lesson I needed to learn
Understanding the necessity of the painful experience
And in my mind to burn
Permanence of the lesson in memory
I didn't know to look
Repetition of the theme of not recognizing betrayal
That sad cheap shot you took
Reiteration of lack of awareness about betrayal
I had no fucking clue
Reaffirmation of past ignorance
Now I know how to flinch
Awareness and readiness to protect oneself
When someone moves an inch
Being impervious to harm from others
I can't be hurt by you
Retained ability to defend against harm
I know what to do
Maintained resilience and self-protection
Now time has healed me
Passage of time as a healing factor
Tougher than I was before
Enhancement of personal strength
Calluses have formed
Formation of emotional calluses
Now that I'm stronger
Increased emotional resilience
I'm not afraid anymore
Overcoming fear and regaining courage
Cheap shots don't hurt anymore
Loss of vulnerability to cheap shots
Cheap shots don't hurt anymore
Repeated affirmation of immunity to cheap shots
Cheap shots don't hurt anymore
-Cheap shots don't hurt anymore
-Cheap shots don't hurt anymore
