Never Bring Me Down
Rising Above: Mirror Lane's Anthem Against Negativity
Lyrics
It’s so easy to say it’s not your fault
Rejecting responsibility by claiming it's not one's fault.
You’re making the same excuse
Continuing to offer the same excuses.
There’s a million ways to play it safe baby
Suggesting numerous safe approaches, yet the person sticks to safety.
And playin’ it safe is what you do
Consistently opting for safety instead of taking risks.
You keep wasting your time on the same old lines
Investing time in repetitive, ineffective approaches.
Baby that’s not gonna fly
Asserting that such behavior won't be successful.
Words don’t matter that much to me
Implying that words don't hold much weight.
Take a look at yourself
Encouraging self-reflection.
Throw your stones and cast your spells
Encountering criticism and negativity from others.
You can try all you want
Despite attempts, failure to undermine the person's spirit.
You’re never gonna bring me down
Confidently asserting resilience against attempts to bring them down.
You assume it’s all been handed to me
Assumption that everything has been easily given, lacking appreciation for hard work.
On a gold-plated silver spoon
Implies a belief in unearned privilege and entitlement.
You can’t stand the thought that maybe
Disbelief or refusal to acknowledge the possibility of hard work leading to success.
Hard work is what it took
Stressing the importance of hard work in achieving success.
You hate your job, your so-called “friends”
Blaming the person for their dissatisfaction and projecting it onto others.
And you take it out on me
Transferring frustration onto the individual being addressed.
I don’t care what floats your boat darling
Indifference to what brings satisfaction to others.
I’ll carry on my own way
Commitment to pursuing one's own path despite external negativity.
You keep wasting your time on the same old lines
Repetition of futile actions that won't yield desired outcomes.
Baby that’s not gonna fly
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of repeating unsuccessful actions.
Words don’t matter that much to me
Reiterating the insignificance of words.
Take a look at yourself
Encouraging introspection and self-analysis.
Throw your stones and cast your spells
Facing criticism and negativity from others.
You can try all you want
Despite efforts, failing to diminish the person's resilience.
You’re never gonna bring me down
Confidence in one's ability to resist attempts at deprecation.
Words don’t matter that much to me
Reiterating the minimal impact of words.
Take a look at yourself
Encouraging self-examination.
Throw your stones and cast your spells
Encountering negativity and hostility from others.
You can try all you want
Despite continuous attempts, failing to weaken the person's spirit.
You’re never gonna bring me down
Asserting resilience against ongoing attempts to undermine.
Words don’t matter that much to me
Stressing the negligible impact of words.
Take a look at yourself
Encouraging self-assessment and introspection.
Throw your stones and cast your spells
Facing criticism and negativity from others.
You can try all you want
Despite persistent efforts, failing to diminish the person's resolve.
You’re never gonna bring me down
Confidence in withstanding attempts to bring them down.
