Navigating Life's Maze: A Musical Journey of Loss, Resilience, and Defiance
Lyrics
I can't tell you much of where I am
I am unable to provide precise details about my current location.
I can only tell you about the things I've lost
I can share experiences about the things I've lost on my journey.
On the way
These losses occurred along the way.
And on the way they say they'll guide you
Guidance is promised on the journey, but the associated costs are undisclosed.
But nobody's gonna tell you the cost
No one will inform you about the actual price.
That's okay
Despite the lack of information about costs, acceptance is expressed.
So cut the shit and show me
Directly address the situation and reveal how I should emotionally respond.
How I'm supposed to feel
Request guidance on the appropriate emotional reaction.
When everyone around me says to
Others advise to comply by sitting down, being quiet, and dealing with the situation.
Just sit down, shut up and deal?
Express frustration with the prescribed response.
So I'll keep running in one direction
Choosing the simpler action of continuous forward movement.
'Cause feet, ground and forward is easier done than said
Moving forward is easier than verbalizing actions.
And you keep pointing the way to glory
Others provide a path to glory, but the speaker won't be misled.
I will not be misled
Rejecting deceptive guidance and staying true to one's path.
So analyze and strategize a way to fix me up and
Suggesting a method to fix personal issues.
I'll do it
Willing to follow advice for self-improvement.
Keep giving people life advice and maybe they won't see that
Offering life advice to others with the possibility of failure.
You blew it
Pointing out someone else's failure in providing advice.
You're kicking back, I'm kicking in
A contrast between relaxation and intense effort.
It's time to get some thicker skin
Suggesting the need for resilience and toughness.
Or maybe for a brick to the head
Humorous suggestion of needing a literal "thicker skin" or a strong defense.
You planted aspirations, followed up with accusations
Accusations follow aspirations, leading to a negative outcome.
And knew it
Acknowledging awareness of the negative outcome.
You knew it
Reiterating awareness of the failure.
So I'll keep running in one direction
Continuing the theme of choosing the easier path of forward movement.
'Cause feet, ground and forward is easier done than said
Reaffirming the simplicity of moving forward.
And you keep pointing the way to glory
Refusing to be misled by false paths to glory.
I will not be misled
Staying true to one's direction despite external influence.
I hear the young eat the old if you let them
Highlighting the idea that the young can overpower the old if allowed.
We've been told that the poor eat the rich
Expressing a common belief that the poor can rise against the rich.
So don't look at me when you run out of luck
Disclaiming responsibility when luck runs out.
'Cause there's only one thing you taught me that stuck
Acknowledging a lesson learned: life can be harsh.
And that's that life's a bitch
Summarizing life's challenges as difficult and unforgiving.
So I'll keep running in one direction
Continuing the commitment to forward movement despite challenges.
'Cause feet, ground and forward is easier done than said
Reiterating the ease of moving forward compared to verbalizing actions.
And you keep pointing the way to glory
Rejecting false paths to glory and staying resolute.
I will not be misled
Maintaining determination and independence in the chosen direction.
So I'll keep running in one direction
Emphasizing the simplicity of continuous forward movement.
'Cause feet, ground and forward is easier done than said
Reaffirming the commitment to move forward despite challenges.
And you keep pointing the way to glory
Rejecting false paths to glory and staying true to personal direction.
I will not be misled
Asserting independence and determination in not being misled.
