The Reason
Defiant Lives: Unveiling the Meaning of 'The Reason' by Sick of It All
Lyrics
Outcast. never fitting in
Expressing the feeling of being an outcast and not fitting in
Defiant to the last - it's my life
Defiant attitude towards challenges, asserting control over one's life
Forged our own way outside the lines
Choosing a unique path beyond societal norms
For reasons they'll never understand
The reasons for their choices are beyond others' comprehension
Sacrificed. considered great
Having made sacrifices that others may not appreciate
Never crossed our minds - it's my life
Reiterating the ownership of one's life and choices
Freedom to stand or fall
Embracing the freedom to take risks and face consequences
Our destiny is solely in our hands
Empowerment through the belief in controlling one's destiny
no. this is not a joke
Denying the trivialization of their commitment or passion
Or a stepping stone
Rejecting the idea that their pursuits are a mere stepping stone
Or some passing fad
Dismissing their choices as a passing fad
Flows through our heart and soul
Highlighting the deep emotional connection to their pursuits
Some will never know
Acknowledging that some will never understand the depth of their passion
What they could have had
Reflecting on missed opportunities for those who fail to grasp their commitment
too late. no turning back
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of their choices
Wouldn't even try - it's my life
Declining the option to turn back, asserting the irreversible nature of their decisions
Live through the joy and pain
Living through both the positive and negative experiences
The blood. the sweat
Referencing the physical and emotional struggles in their journey
This is our life
Affirmation of the chosen lifestyle as their life
We all want a reason. a reason to exist
Expressing the universal desire for a reason to exist
We all want a purpose in life - well we found this
Finding purpose in their unique way of life
The curse the darkness put out the light
Confronting challenges represented by darkness and curses
To be a constant thorn in their side
Choosing to be a constant source of irritation to others
To pull the blinders from your eyes
Seeking to open others' eyes to reality
It might do nothing but at least we try
Acknowledging the potential futility but expressing the importance of trying
no. this is not a joke
Reiteration of the serious nature of their commitment
Or a stepping stone
Rejecting the idea that their pursuits are a mere stepping stone (repeated)
Or some passing fad
Dismissing their choices as a passing fad (repeated)
Flows through our heart and soul
Highlighting the deep emotional connection to their pursuits (repeated)
Some will never know
Acknowledging that some will never understand the depth of their passion (repeated)
What they could have had
Reflecting on missed opportunities for those who fail to grasp their commitment (repeated)
It's my life
Emphasizing the ownership and control over one's life
