The Last Grin
Defying Fate: Embracing Individuality in 'The Last Grin'
Lyrics
It seems like so many years ago
Reflecting on a distant past
When we walked through those wretched old doors
Recalling entering unpleasant places
The smell of youth and misery
Memories of youthful discomfort and sadness
When you don’t fit in society
Feeling excluded or not fitting societal norms
They all laugh and say what they say
Being ridiculed, but maintaining resilience
But its alright, I’m okay
Accepting oneself despite others' opinions
In the end, I am who I am
Firm self-acceptance
They’re all rotting and definite has been's
Others deteriorating while the singer thrives
You all peaked, but hey not me
Not reaching their potential unlike the singer
You had a lot to say, so did I, but I got my way
Asserting one's own path despite opposition
Imagine that the clocks ticking, ticking, ticking
Imagining the inevitable passing of time
But you will all fade away
Others fading away into obscurity
I sip my wine, karma had its fix
Savoring a moment of vindication
And it’s me who gets the last grin
Gaining satisfaction in having the last laugh
It’s me who gets the last kicks
Deriving pleasure from others' downfall
I sip my wine, karma had its fix
Reiterating satisfaction from karma
And it’s me who gets the last grin
Reaffirming enjoyment from others' failure
It’s me who shoots back, who’s this
Questioning the identity of opposition
It’s funny looking back at those days
Reflecting humorously on past judgments
Thinking who’s cool, who’s definitely lame
Contemplating past perceptions of popularity
It's me of course who was called lame, a loser, and a freak
Recalling derogatory labels received
You all acted like your stuff don’t stink
Accusing others of arrogance
Now look at me, and let that sink
Boasting about current success
I just have to laugh at all of you
Mocking others' failures
Cause in the end the loser is you
Asserting others' ultimate defeat
You all peaked, but hey not me
Reiterating one's own success over others
You had a lot to say, so did I but I got my way
Asserting independence despite opposition
Imagine that the clocks ticking, ticking, ticking
Imagining the passage of time affecting others
But you will all fade away
Reaffirming others' eventual obscurity
I sip my wine, karma had its fix
Enjoying the fruits of karma
And it’s me who gets the last grin
Claiming satisfaction in having the last laugh
It’s me who gets the last kicks
Deriving pleasure from others' failure
I sip my wine, karma had its fix
Reiterating satisfaction from karma
And it’s me who gets the last grin
Reaffirming enjoyment from others' downfall
It’s me who shoots back, who's this
Questioning the identity of opposition again
I know why, karma had its fix
Understanding the reason behind karma's action
And it’s goes a little like this
Hinting at retaliation or a response
Screw all of you never been's
Disregarding those who never succeeded
I know why, karma had its fixed
Understanding karma's action
And it’s goes a little like this
Hinting at the consequences of actions
Take a shot, listen, I’m sure you’ll miss
Challenging others to try and fail
