Against The Ropes
Navigating Adulthood: Against the Ropes by Spencer Olivea Unveils Life's Challenges
Lyrics
Paying rent and college classes
Paying rent and attending college classes
Who knew all it takes to pass is
Expressing surprise at the simplicity of passing, possibly suggesting life's challenges
A firm handshake look him in the eye
Highlighting the importance of a confident handshake and maintaining eye contact
And make sure no one ever sees you cry
Encouraging emotional resilience and hiding vulnerability
A legacy and a social status
Emphasizing the significance of personal history and social standing
There really isn't any way to hack this
Indicating that certain aspects of life cannot be easily manipulated or cheated
I guess I'm doomed to only be
Feeling resigned to remain as the person left behind by someone
Exactly how you left me
Expressing a sense of stagnation or lack of progress
I'm an adult but I don't feel like it
Acknowledging adulthood but not feeling mature
Against the ropes I find myself
Facing challenges and difficulties, feeling cornered
Is this how everybody feels cause I
Questioning if others experience similar struggles
Am having trouble believing that
Doubting the reality of the difficulties faced
This is why I'm alive
Reflecting on the purpose and meaning of life
Balance due and insurance claims
Owing debts and dealing with insurance issues
An adult type of who's to blame game
Describing adult responsibilities as a blaming game
I'm not so good at getting back to
Struggling to prioritize important tasks
All the things that I really should do
Failing to address essential responsibilities
Healthcare and paying taxes
Dealing with healthcare and tax obligations
Now I really have to face the fact is
Realizing the necessity to confront reality
I'm unprepared for everything
Feeling unprepared for life's challenges
I get by only when I'm singing
Finding solace and strength through singing
I'm an adult but I don't feel like it
Reiterating the disconnect between age and maturity
Against the ropes I find myself
Facing difficulties and challenges
Is this how everybody feels cause I
Questioning the universality of such struggles
Am having trouble believing that
Doubting the reasons for existence
This is why I'm alive
Contemplating the purpose of life
I'm an adult but I don't feel like it
Repeating the theme of not feeling like a mature adult
Against the ropes I find myself
Facing challenges and feeling constrained
Is this how everybody feels cause I
Questioning the commonality of such feelings
Am having trouble believing that
Struggling to believe in the purpose of life
This is why I'm alive
Reflecting on the meaning of existence
I'm an adult but I don't feel like it
Repeating the theme of feeling like an immature adult
Against the ropes I find myself
Facing challenges and feeling cornered
Is this how everybody feels cause I
Questioning the universality of such struggles
Am having trouble believing that
Struggling to believe in the purpose of life
This is why I'm alive
Reflecting on the meaning of existence
