Holy Shit
Rising from Despair: Ruston Kelly's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
When I get out of my way
Expresses a desire to overcome personal obstacles and challenges.
Better things appear
Positivity arises when personal hindrances are overcome.
But they always fade away
Despite initial improvements, positive changes tend to diminish.
When I think I'm in the clear
Doubts arise when feeling confident about progress.
Every day, it comes
Daily struggles persist.
It tries to keep me down
Life's challenges attempt to keep the individual down.
I can keep on playin' dumb
Option to act ignorant or oblivious to challenges.
Or I can get up off the ground
Choosing to rise above difficulties.
Oh my god, I just wanna give up
Feeling overwhelmed, a desire to surrender.
But I remember how long I've been fightin'
Recalling the enduring fight, resisting the urge to give up.
Like holy shit, I must be built for this
Realization of inner strength and resilience.
'Cause I'm either shootin' a bullseye or tryin' to miss
Acknowledging success and failure in life.
Am I tryin' to miss?
Ruminating on the intention behind actions.
Was I wasted when I called
Uncertainty about past actions, questioning if they were real or a dream.
Or was it all a dream?
Doubt about the authenticity of a past conversation.
Did you say pride before the fall?
Contemplating the saying "pride before the fall" without understanding its meaning.
'Cause I don't know what that means
Confusion about concepts or phrases.
I don't know anything
Expressing a lack of knowledge or understanding.
Or I think I know it all
Confidence mixed with self-doubt.
But when I'm standin' on my feet
Clear vision and perspective when standing strong.
I can see over every wall
Overcoming obstacles allows a broader view of life.
Oh my god, I just wanna give up
Feeling overwhelmed again, tempted to give up.
But I remember how long I've been fightin'
Reflecting on the enduring nature of the struggle.
Like holy shit, I must be built for this
Realization of innate strength and ability to face challenges.
'Cause I'm either shootin' a bullseye or tryin' to miss
Acknowledging the dual nature of success and failure.
Am I tryin' to miss?
Questioning the intention behind actions and choices.
Always overthinkin'
Tendency to overthink situations.
Lose what I believe in
Fear of losing one's beliefs or values.
Always tryin' to shut it off
Struggling to disconnect from overwhelming thoughts.
Oh my god, I just wanna give up
Reiteration of the desire to give up amid challenges.
But I remember how long I've been fightin'
Recollection of the prolonged struggle against adversity.
Like holy shit, I must be built for this
Realization of inner strength and capacity to endure.
'Cause I'm either shootin' a bullseye or tryin' to miss
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of success and failure.
Am I tryin' to miss?
Questioning the true intention behind actions and choices.
