Lyrics
What you see is not what you get

Nothing will take you down
Assurance that nothing will bring you down; resilience.
If you can’t win, you can only lose
If victory is not possible, the only option is to accept defeat.
Your next move is yours to choose
Empowerment to make choices in the face of adversity.
Give up now, throw in the towel
Suggesting surrender or giving up as a viable option.
You seem to have suddenly run afoul
Indication that something has gone wrong or awry suddenly.
