The Try
Rising from Defeat: Unveiling the Powerful Message in Sunday's Best 'The Try'
Lyrics
Everybody's hopes had died when you were crawling on the floor
People lost hope when witnessing you in a vulnerable state on the floor.
No one could keep hope alive when all they saw were wounds and woes
Hope was difficult to maintain when all they could see were your difficulties and suffering.
They remember when it went south, one instance when you're down
Recollection of a specific moment when things took a negative turn and you were down.
Dust had settled, you moved out of town
After the turmoil, you moved away from the situation or place.
You surrendered, then you found out
You gave up, but then discovered something significant.
It's a crap out, a dead man's hand, a blink in a stare;
Describing a hopeless situation, a losing hand, and a vacant stare.
It's lights out, an unmade plan, some bees in your hair
Depicting a situation with no hope, unplanned circumstances, and potential chaos.
Do we get no points for the try?
Raising the question of whether effort deserves recognition, even without success.
They will all testify that everything falls around you
Others will confirm that everything falls apart around you.
"Another good guy lost," is how they would describe you
Perception of you as a good person lost, with regrets about what could have been.
"Too bad what could have been"
Expressing sadness about missed opportunities and potential outcomes.
You tuned out and got up again
You ignored external influences and stood up again.
Pretended not to care. Remembered not to care
Acting indifferent, but deep down, not forgetting or caring.
I heard what they sold you; don't let it hold you
Warning against being influenced by false narratives and not letting them control you.
You can have what you want now
Encouraging to pursue desires without being constrained by external pressures.
You need to want what you have
Emphasizing the importance of appreciating what you have rather than constantly seeking more.
We need no points for the try
Suggesting that the effort itself should be acknowledged, regardless of the outcome.
