Take It on the Chin
Embracing Resilience: Take It on the Chin with Small Fires
Lyrics
Don't you act like it's gone away I breathed it in
Acknowledging that a difficult situation hasn't disappeared; expressing personal involvement by saying "I breathed it in."
Words worked in and found a way
Words have entered and influenced deeply.
Under my skin
Emphasizing the emotional impact by stating it's under the skin.
Hard times are ahead of me
Anticipating challenging times ahead.
But still you say
Despite challenges, someone is advising to face them.
Take it on the chin, my son
Encouraging to endure hardships without complaint.
To win the hill upon which you run is a long one
The path to success is long, implying perseverance is crucial.
And you're gonna need strength and pride
Success requires strength and pride.
Don't provide them with a peek inside
Keep personal vulnerabilities hidden.
Hide what you got away
Advocating secrecy about personal achievements or possessions.
There's not a better way for a man to be a man
Suggesting that maintaining composure and facing challenges stoically is the ideal way for a man to conduct himself.
So take it on the chin
Reiterating the advice to face challenges without complaint.
Words worm in while you're unaware
Highlighting the subtle influence of words when one is not paying attention.
Just how deep they've gone
Words have a profound impact even if not immediately apparent.
Course set off to anywhere
Life's journey is unpredictable, and one may have a goal but be pulled in different directions.
But the pull is strong
The influence or temptation to deviate from a set course is strong.
Steer slowly and steadily
Guidance to navigate challenges with caution and patience.
Still you're at the helm
Despite challenges, the individual is still in control.
Take it on the chin, my son
Reiteration of the advice to face difficulties without complaining.
To win the hill upon which you run is a long one
Emphasizing the length and difficulty of the journey to success.
And you're gonna need strength and pride
Success requires both strength and pride.
Don't provide them with a peek inside
Keep personal vulnerabilities concealed from others.
Hide what you got away
Reiterating the importance of keeping personal achievements or possessions hidden.
There's not a better way for a man to be a man
Encouraging the stoic acceptance of challenges as the ideal way for a man to conduct himself.
So take it on the chin
Final encouragement to face challenges without complaint.
