Last Round
Embracing Resilience: The Final Stand
Lyrics
You went off the road in a bit of rain
You experienced a challenge or setback during difficult circumstances.
I’ve been in a rut and you the same
The singer and the listener both have been in a period of stagnation or difficulty.
We’re not gonna break bread
There won't be reconciliation or unity.
I’m not gonna play dead
The singer won't pretend to be defeated or submissive.
I’m not gonna break down
The singer won't succumb emotionally.
I’m not gonna lay down
The singer won't give up or yield.
Cause this is the last round
This difficult situation is the final challenge to overcome.
I can pick a fight when I get mad
The singer can engage in conflict when angered.
You can stand aside or take a stand
You can either remain passive or take a stance in the face of challenges.
It’s all Armageddon
The situation is described as apocalyptic or catastrophic.
The pace that you’re setting
The pace or direction set by the listener is causing difficulty.
I’m not gonna stay down
The singer won't remain defeated.
I’m not gonna fret now
The singer won't worry excessively now.
Cause this is the last round
This challenging situation marks the end.
I can pop my veins, be loud, and holler
The singer can express intense emotions and protest loudly.
All said and done, it makes, me smaller
Despite all efforts, the singer feels diminished or smaller in the end.
When they ring that bell, just want, to hold out
When faced with a decisive moment, the singer wants to endure.
Tell me all the ways, I’m off, I have no doubt
The singer acknowledges personal shortcomings without doubt.
I can make some plans fore the day is done
The singer can make plans for the future.
You can walk away but you’ll be alone
If you leave, you'll be left alone to face the consequences.
I don’t wanna call this
The singer is hesitant to label the situation.
I know that we’ll be missed
Despite leaving, the singer knows they will be missed.
I’m not gonna break down
The singer won't give in emotionally.
I’m not gonna lay down
The singer won't surrender or lie down.
Cause this is the last round
This challenging situation is the final one to face.
