Feeling Defeated
Defying Despair: Unveiling the Struggle in Strike Twelve's 'Feeling Defeated'
Lyrics
I don’t always wanna feel defeated.
I often don't want to experience the feeling of being defeated.
Beat down, broken and always cheated.
Feeling beaten down, shattered, and consistently deceived.
I don’t wanna feel like I am always someone else.
I don't want to feel like I'm pretending to be someone else all the time.
I’ll wear my heart on my sleeve and strive to be myself.
I will openly express my emotions and strive to be true to myself.
I don’t want to live forever. Or leave a legacy that isn’t true.
I don't desire eternal life or a false legacy; authenticity is important.
Make believe is so much better these days. I guess I’ll keep disappointing you
Fantasy and imagination seem more appealing now, even if it disappoints others.
I’ve grown weary of this never-ending sickness.
Feeling tired of an ongoing and unending hardship or difficulty.
Cop out, crutch on recycled excuses.
Using recycled excuses is a coping mechanism, a way to avoid facing challenges.
I don’t wanna be someone who clearly missed the mark.
I don't want to be someone who consistently fails to meet expectations.
Now I’m stuck in my head and I’m falling apart.
Being trapped in one's thoughts and experiencing a mental breakdown.
I don’t want to live forever. Or leave a legacy that isn’t true.
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the rejection of an everlasting and false legacy.
Make believe is so much better these days. I guess I’ll keep disappointing you
Choosing the comfort of make-believe over reality, despite disappointing others.
I don’t want to live forever. Or leave a legacy that isn’t true.
Reiteration of the desire to avoid an untrue legacy and the comfort of imagination.
Make believe is so much better these days. I guess I’ll keep disappointing you.
Continued preference for make-believe and acceptance of ongoing disappointments.
I guess I’ll keep disappointing you.
Emphasizing the acceptance of the role of being a source of disappointment.
I guess I’ll keep disappointing you.
Reiterating the acceptance of the role of causing disappointment in others.
