Indestructible
Rise Unleashed: Embracing Freedom in Noah Smith's Indestructible
Lyrics
I’ve been running from 9 to 5
I've been working from 9 to 5
Been biting my tongue for all this time Won’t let anyone cut me short
I've been holding back my true feelings for a long time and won't let anyone undermine me
I was thinking this was the way to go And you put up your puppetshow
I thought following a conventional path was right, but you presented a fake performance
I say cheers to life
Celebrating life
Won’t be no good man’s wife
I won't conform to societal expectations of being a good man's wife
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone; I'm in control of my life
I’m running this show
Asserting independence and control
I’m telling you it’s my time to rise up Live the life I’m proud of
It's my time to rise, live a life I'm proud of
NO
Strong denial
You better go home
Advise to leave and let me take charge
I’m telling you it’s my time to rise up Live the life I’m proud of
Reiteration of claiming personal empowerment
So I woke up
Waking up with a positive outlook
Sun in my eyes
Sunshine in my eyes, starting a new day
Forgot all about what I did last night
Forgetting past actions, focusing on positive experiences
What I do remember’s that It was real real nice Talks about me
Positive memories, but aware of gossip
Are never good
Acknowledging negative talk about oneself
I don’t live life the way I should oh well
Admitting to not conforming to societal norms
I’m in for some fun tonight
Anticipation of a fun night
Just leave me alone
Request for space and independence
I’m running this show
Reaffirming control over one's life
I’m telling you it’s my time to rise up Live the life I’m proud of
Emphasizing the time to rise and live authentically
NO
Strong refusal
You better go home
Advising someone to leave and let the singer take control
I’m telling you it’s my time to rise up Live the life I’m proud of
Reiteration of personal empowerment
Hey now, Don’t be shy
Encouraging confidence
Follow my lead if you wanna be mine Hey now, Just you and I
Invitation to follow the singer for a shared journey
We could be the next bonnie and clyde Hey now, Don’t be shy
Suggesting a partnership like Bonnie and Clyde
Follow my lead if you wanna be mine it’s our time to rise up
Encouraging someone to follow and be part of a rising journey
Live the life we’re proud of
Joint affirmation to live a proud life
