Survivor
Surviving Life's Turmoil: A Born Survivor's Journey
Lyrics
Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive
Strength is derived from the challenges we endure.
Some speak of miracles of how I stayed alive
Some marvel at the miraculous survival despite hardships.
Life had its ups and downs
Life has had its share of highs and lows.
When you were still around
Reflecting on the past when the person was present.
I've held on for way too long
Holding on for an extended period.
When the world told me to just let you go
Resisting the world's advice to let go of something.
It's just the way it has to be
Accepting the inevitability of a situation.
When you were still around, my world was falling down
Recalling a time when everything seemed to collapse.
But when times get tough, you feel like giving up
During challenges, the inclination to surrender is strong.
I remember back then
Recollecting events from the past.
But I still think of the way you used to talk to me
Memories of communication with the absent person.
Like a false sense of security
Describing a deceptive sense of safety.
You were my saving grace
The absent person was a source of rescue.
With a look of hope upon your face
Depicting a hopeful expression on the absent person's face.
Screaming no, don't let go
Expressing a plea not to release or give up.
You're the first of the fallen
Acknowledging someone as the first to face challenges.
No, please don't let go
Reiterating the plea not to let go.
But I'm a born survivor
Asserting a resilient nature as a survivor.
Keep calm and carry on
Encouraging to remain calm and endure.
Focus and just stay strong
Emphasizing the importance of focus and strength.
These are the words I live by
Describing a personal philosophy to live by.
Just hold on
An urging to persevere.
Now life is changing for me
Noting a transformation in life without the absent person.
When you are not around, my walls are falling down
Reflecting on the crumbling of emotional defenses.
But when times get tough, no shot of giving up.
Refusing to give up during tough times.
It's not the same back then
Highlighting the contrast with the past.
But I still think of the way you used to talk to me
Recalling past conversations with the absent person.
Like a false sense of security
Reiterating the deceptive sense of security in memories.
You were my saving grace
Acknowledging the absent person's role as a savior.
With a look of hope upon your face
Describing hope in the absent person's expression.
Screaming no, don't let go
A plea not to let go, echoing earlier sentiments.
You're the first of the fallen
Recognizing someone as a pioneer in facing challenges.
No, please don't let go
Reiterating the plea not to release or give up.
But I'm a born survivor
Affirming a resilient identity as a survivor.
Feel this, the darkness inside us.
Acknowledging internal darkness within.
Feel this, the darkness inside us.
Repeating the acknowledgment of internal darkness.
Feel this, the darkness inside us.
Reiterating the acknowledgment of internal darkness.
Searching for the light to guide us home
Seeking guidance and light to find the way home.
