Past
Rising Above: Embracing the Battle with the Past
Lyrics
People always act like they know your life
Expressing frustration with people who act like they understand your life.
They say to forget your past it will be alright
People advise to forget the past for a better future, suggesting it will be okay.
But they don't know what you've been through
Highlighting that others don't truly comprehend the hardships one has faced.
I wish they could walk in my shoes
Expressing a desire for others to experience and understand one's struggles.
The past keeps dragging me down
Feeling burdened by the weight of past experiences.
I wish I could forget it's wearing me out
Expressing a wish to forget the past due to its draining effect.
It keeps dragging me down
Reiterating the dragging impact of the past on one's well-being.
It's wearing me out
Emphasizing the toll the past is taking on the individual.
It keeps dragging me down
Continuing to highlight the persistent negative influence of the past.
It keeps wearing me out
Stressing the ongoing wear and tear caused by the past.
People always act like they know my life
Repeating the frustration with people claiming to understand the singer's life.
They say to forget my past it will be alright
Reiterating the advice to forget the past for a brighter future.
But they don't know what I've been through
Stating that others don't truly comprehend the singer's personal experiences.
I wish they could feel the way I do
Expressing a desire for others to empathize with the singer's emotions.
But we can't see, eye to eye
Highlighting a lack of mutual understanding between the singer and others.
Cause you don't live my life
Explaining the difficulty in relating to the singer's unique life experiences.
The past keeps dragging me down
Reiterating the oppressive influence of the past on the singer.
I wish I could forget it's wearing me out
Expressing a desire to overcome the negative impact of the past.
It keeps dragging me down
Emphasizing the continuing burden of the past on the singer's well-being.
It's wearing me out
Highlighting the ongoing toll the past is taking on the singer.
It keeps dragging me down
Reiterating the dragging effect of the past on the singer's life.
It keeps wearing me out
Stressing the persistent wear and tear caused by the past.
