Fighting Time: Embracing Life's Struggle and Emotions
Lyrics
Listen up cuz I got to tell you how I'm feeling
Expressing the need to communicate feelings.
Call it emo cuz I'm putting my emotions in it
Labeling the expression as emotional with personal investment.
Is it wrong of me to want something better
Questioning the desire for something better in life.
Is it wrong of me to want to live forever
Contemplating the wish for eternal life.
Thirty three came too fast and I'm fighting time
Feeling the pressure of time at age thirty-three.
I work myself to death just to feel alive
Working hard to feel alive, possibly battling existential struggles.
I hear the voice of death in my head calling
Hearing thoughts of death in the mind.
I hear the voice of death in my head
Reiterating the presence of death's influence.
You can fight me
Challenging an adversary, possibly death or time.
But it just won't save your life
Emphasizing that the fight won't save one's life.
As you lose your grip
Losing control and grip on cherished aspects of life.
Of all the things you loved and held so tight
Referring to losing things held dearly.
You'll lose your little girl
Anticipating the loss of a daughter.
You'll lose the love of your life
Anticipating the loss of the love of one's life.
So you can fight me but you're only killing time
Stating that fighting is only wasting time.
You're only killing
Repeating the idea of time being wasted in the fight.
I'll cut you and go deeper and deeper
Expressing a willingness to go deeper, possibly into emotional struggles.
You can outrun your past but can't outrun the reaper
Highlighting the inability to escape the inevitable (death).
Outrun the reaper
Repeating the idea of being unable to outrun the reaper (death).
You can outrun your past but can't outrun the reaper
Reiterating the inability to escape the grasp of death.
Maybe I'm just living a lie
Contemplating the possibility of living a false or deceptive life.
Holding onto all these feelings
Holding onto inner emotions and feelings.
That I'm keeping inside
Acknowledging the concealment of emotions.
Like if there's a God above
Questioning the absence of divine love despite belief in God.
Then why can't I ever feel their love
Expressing a lack of perceived divine love.
The truth is that I'm just scared
Admitting fear, possibly of time passing.
Time's slipping away and I'm not prepared
Feeling unprepared for the passage of time.
Cuz how do you plan for a day
Pondering the difficulty of planning for inevitable loss.
When everyone you love dies or fades away
Reflecting on the inevitability of losing loved ones.
Fight me but it just won't save your
Repeating the idea that fighting won't save one's life.
Life
Concluding that fighting won't save one's life.
You can fight me
Encouraging resistance against an unnamed adversary.
But it just won't save your life
Reiterating that the fight won't save one's life.
As you lose your grip
Losing grip on cherished aspects of life.
Of all the things you loved and held so tight
Repeating the idea of losing tight holds on loved things.
You'll lose your little girl
Anticipating the loss of a daughter.
You'll lose the love of your life
Anticipating the loss of the love of one's life.
So you can fight me but you're only killing time
Stating that fighting is only wasting time.
You're only killing
Repeating the idea of time being wasted in the fight.
Time
Concluding that time is being wasted in the fight.
