Unveiling the Battle Within: Pressure Cracks' Powerful Message
Lyrics
For every win there was a battle
Acknowledging that victories are often preceded by struggles or conflicts.
And we all know just what it takes to win
Understanding the effort required to achieve success.
To get the trophy on the mantle
Highlighting the tangible rewards of success, such as trophies on display.
You must enable all the hate within yourself
Suggesting that embracing negativity or animosity is sometimes necessary for success.
You have your reasons, I get it I get
Acknowledging the presence of personal motivations or justifications.
How did this happen, you let it
Questioning how a negative situation or outcome came to be.
Hate to say I told you so, but I said it
Expressing a reluctant confirmation of a predicted negative outcome.
And we both know that this is fucking pathetic
Labeling the situation as pitiful or worthy of contempt.
Cuz we are more than the sum of your fucking parts
Asserting collective identity beyond individual components.
What the fuck did you tell yourself when you were hurting them?
Questioning the internal dialogue or self-reflection during the act of causing harm.
I struggle to see how you were compelled to put them through that hell
Expressing difficulty in understanding the motivation to inflict suffering on others.
What the fuck do you tell yourself when you are hurting us?
Raising a similar question about self-reflection during harm inflicted on a collective "us."
We’ll never believe the stories you tell
Distrust in the narratives or stories told by the one causing harm.
You cannot buy our trust
Asserting that trust cannot be purchased or easily regained.
After the fall is when we learned to stand up
Learning resilience and the ability to stand up after facing adversity.
We took our shot when the gun was jammed up
Seizing opportunities even in challenging situations.
Another martyr, another me
Introducing the idea of sacrifice or a person martyring themselves.
Another problem that they covered up nice and neat
Pointing to problems that are concealed or glossed over.
So put your hand up if you can’t stand it
Encouraging those who can't tolerate a situation to express their discontent.
We feel the damage of their advantage
Acknowledging the negative impact of those in power or with advantages.
The broken families, the holy fantasies
Highlighting the consequences of societal and familial breakdowns.
We feel the damage of their advantage
Reiterating the negative effects of advantages held by a certain group.
