I Can. I Will.
Rising Above Chaos: Embracing Strength in Silent Descent's 'I Can. I Will.'
Lyrics
Now...
Introduction, setting the stage for a reflection.
Lack of respect,
Observing a lack of respect in the environment.
Lack of any dignity.
Noticing a deficiency in dignity around.
I see those who fall,
Witnessing the downfall of others.
Lead normal lives.
Contrasting with those leading conventional lives.
Fucking, bleeding, immorality,
Expressing frustration, bleeding, and moral decay.
Lack honour or loyalty.
Highlighting a lack of honor and loyalty.
Unless we belong,
Emphasizing the need for belonging.
We cannot be.
Stating that existence requires a sense of belonging.
(Sing for me now)
(Invitation to sing together)
Again, look what you've done,
Reflecting on the consequences of actions.
Then sing for me...
(Request to sing again for the speaker)
Now, it's here I fall,
Describing a personal downfall.
Land on my feet.
Finding a way to stand resilient.
I can, I will,
Declaring determination: "I can, I will."
Fuck your reprisal.
Rejecting retaliation or revenge.
Now, before I die,
Contemplating mortality and a desire for freedom.
Rip open wings and fly.
Expressing a will to transcend limitations.
I can, I will,
Reiterating determination despite opposition.
Fuck your reprisal.
Rejecting reprisal again.
Now burn, you face addiction,
Advising against succumbing to addictive behaviors.
Held by dark plastic paths.
Describing a dependency on artificial paths.
Is it things you base your life on now?
Questioning if life is based on material pursuits.
Empty, you breath in glass,
Feeling empty, inhaling the fragility of existence.
Taste your own blood.
Tasting the consequences of one's actions.
Sit and watch your life go by.
Passively observing life passing by.
If I lie, let my tongue rip from this hole,
Making a solemn oath about honesty.
Let my life not be dissolved.
Expressing a desire for a meaningful life.
(Sing for me now)
(Invitation to sing about lessons learned)
Lessons learned by pain,
Highlighting growth through pain and adversity.
The way you hurt?
Questioning the impact of hurting others.
Look back and sing for me...
(Request to look back and reflect on the speaker's journey)
