Lyrics
Hold on, my mother said, don't give up on this
Encouragement from the speaker's mother not to give up.
Go on my lover said, you were meant for this
Support from the speaker's lover, affirming their purpose.
This is all I have, this is all I know
Expression of limited resources and knowledge.
I could never let it go, all my life it's filled me up with hope
The speaker's determination and the sustaining power of hope.
I won't quit, this is my purpose
Commitment to one's purpose and not quitting.
And even through the struggles and hard times it's fucking worth it
Persistence despite struggles, acknowledging it's worthwhile.
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Emphasis on rising above challenges, fighting, and not conforming to ordinary lives for achieving greatness.
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
-You can't just follow, follow, follow
-Greatness can't arise through typical lives
-It's never easy to get what you want, step up your drive
Acknowledgment that obtaining desires requires increased effort.
Throw doubt aside when you fight for what you love
Discouraging doubt and emphasizing the fight for love.
Your dreams are shot and there's a chance to give up
When faced with setbacks, the importance of persevering.
Don't give up, show your guts, show them what you're made of
Encouragement to show courage and resilience.
Overwhelmed by doubt, life's currents wore me down
Feeling overwhelmed by doubt and life's challenges.
Losing what I need found
The speaker experienced a loss but is searching for what they need.
I'm adrift, out of it, alone among the crowd
Feeling adrift and isolated despite being in a crowd.
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Reiteration of the theme of rising up and fighting against conformity for achieving greatness.
You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
-You can't just follow, follow, follow
-Greatness can't arise through typical lives
-You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
-You gotta fight it, fight it, fight it
-You can't just follow, follow, follow
-Greatness can't arise through typical lives
-Hold on my mother said, don't give up on this
Repeating the advice and support from the speaker's mother and lover.
Go on my lover said, you were meant for this
