Sink or Swim
Choosing the Current, Defying the Tide: Sink or Swim by Malacara Blues Band
Lyrics
Life is too short babe
Life is fleeting and brief, my dear.
The world is ready to fall
The world is in a precarious state, on the verge of collapse.
My path was just a blues
My journey has been marked by the blues, a genre associated with hardship and struggles.
but I want to dance
Despite the challenges, I desire to experience joy and celebration, symbolized by dancing.
only rock n roll oh oh
I specifically seek the liberating and rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll.
My family threw me out
My family has rejected or disowned me without hesitation.
They didn’t think twice
They didn't ponder their decision; it was swift and definite.
I chose go further
I've chosen to move forward in life despite the challenges.
I chose go up. The issue
I've chosen to progress and ascend. The matter at hand is...
Sink or swim yeah
The crucial decision is whether to overcome challenges or succumb to them.
Sink or swim yeah
Reiterating the theme of facing a pivotal moment: sink or swim.
Sink or swim yeah
Emphasizing the urgency and significance of the choice.
Sink or swim
Summing up the dilemma of facing challenges head-on.
There’s no short cuts babe
There are no quick and easy solutions in life.
I feel the tie knot chokes
Feeling the constriction of responsibilities or commitments.
I work hard for less
I exert myself strenuously for meager rewards.
but I wanna dance
Despite hardships, I yearn for joy and celebration, symbolized by dancing.
only rock n roll, rock n roll
Reaffirming the desire for the freeing spirit of rock 'n' roll.
I drown like a cat in a bag
Feeling overwhelmed or suffocated without your presence.
since you ain’t here
Expressing the impact of an absent loved one on the emotional state.
I chose go further
Despite challenges, I continue to move forward in life.
I chose go up. The issue is
Choosing to progress and ascend despite difficulties. The central challenge is...
Sink or swim yeah yeah
Reiterating the pivotal decision: sink or swim, with a sense of urgency.
Sink or swim yeah yeah
Emphasizing the gravity and importance of the decision.
Sink or swim yeah yeah
Concluding with the repeated declaration of facing the challenge: sink or swim.
