Lyrics
Winning's not everything, but how would i know
Winning is not the sole measure of significance, and the singer reflects uncertainty about this concept.
I'm just an underdog, with wounds i cant show
Describing oneself as an underdog with hidden emotional wounds that are not easily visible to others.
First to come last, no one knows my name
Being the first to arrive but ending up unnoticed, with anonymity attached to one's identity.
Ashes to ashes, it's time for a change
Metaphorically expressing the need for a transformative change, symbolized by "ashes to ashes."
I've been thinking it over, I've been taking my time
Reflecting on thoughts and taking time to ponder various scenarios.
Every scenario, runs through my mind

But against all the odds, the tables will turn
Despite unfavorable circumstances, expressing confidence that the situation will reverse.

When im close to the edge, fly high like an eagle

You keep holding me back, but there's fire wherever we go

Deep in the shadows, afraid to come out
Metaphorically residing in the shadows, reluctant to face the world.
Even the good souls, fill me with doubt
Expressing doubt even in the goodness of others, indicating internal struggles and skepticism.
I could never back down, only stand up and fight
Committing to never back down and always stand up to fight against challenges.
We may be second best, but tonight is out night
Accepting a position as second best but asserting that tonight is a moment for victory.
