Lyrics
Well, I was making progress but then I confess I kinda got derailed
Expressing a setback after making progress, feeling derailed.
I was in the right place but on the wrong day and I was feeling frail
Being at the right place but on the wrong day, feeling fragile.
When you came along and said to me you're not strong enough to be
Someone telling the speaker they are not strong enough to achieve their goals.
What you want to be
Reflecting on the challenge of becoming what one aspires to be.
And POW BAM you knocked me right down off my feet again
Expressing a sudden and forceful setback, metaphorically knocked down.
Oh man, I knew better than to ever let you in
Regretting a previous decision to allow someone in who caused harm.
You act so sweet and then steal my victory
Accusing someone of acting sweet but ultimately undermining the speaker's success.
It's always on the best day and in the worst way that you appear
Noticing a pattern of appearance on both the best and worst days.
But I'm not gonna take it so let me say this and let's get one thing clear
Declaring the refusal to accept mistreatment and asserting clarity.
You tried to steal my dignity you didn't want me to succeed
Accusing someone of trying to undermine the speaker's dignity and success.
And now I see
Realizing the attempt to sabotage and its consequences.
And POW BAM you won't knock me back down off my feet again
Expressing determination not to be knocked down again.
Oh man, I know better than to ever let you win
Having learned from past experiences and not allowing the same mistake.
You act so sweet and then steal my victory
Reiterating the pattern of deceptive sweetness and victory theft.
Victory the things that you do sicken me
Expressing disgust at the actions of the individual causing harm.
You're heckling me dissecting me I'm tired of you infecting me
Describing the negative impact of the person, criticizing their behavior.
I'm gonna rise above and find my feet
Expressing determination to rise above challenges and find stability.
I won't back down and I won't retreat
Committing to stand firm and not withdraw in the face of adversity.
And POW BAM I'm gonna knock you right down off your feet and then
Anticipating a counteraction to knock down the antagonist.
Oh man, you'll know better than to mess with me again
Warning the antagonist not to mess with the speaker again.
You won't beat me
Asserting confidence in overcoming challenges and not being defeated.
No, I'll have victory
Declaring the ultimate attainment of victory despite challenges.
