Born to Lose
Embracing Life's Losing Battles
Lyrics
Roll out of bed with my boots still on,
Starting the day with a sense of readiness, possibly facing challenges with determination.
Light a smoke and I’m on the run,
Initiating a busy day with a cigarette, suggesting a fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyle.
Always late ‘cause I’m out of time,
Consistently running late due to a lack of time.
I’m on my knees,
Expressing a vulnerable or desperate state, being on one's knees metaphorically.
Fortune, can’t you see?
Addressing fortune, asking for recognition and positive outcomes.
I made a living but the living started killing me,
Having made a living but feeling the negative impact on well-being.
I’m gonna lose it,
Repetition emphasizing the impending feeling of losing control.
I’m gonna lose it,
-I’m gonna lose it,
-I’m gonna lose it,
-Going nowhere fast,
Feeling stuck or stagnant, not progressing in life.
I can’t give it up now,
Commitment to persist despite challenges, unable to give up.
Out here for the cash,
Being in a situation for financial gain.
Still just breathing somehow,
Surviving or enduring despite difficulties.
Playing games I was born to lose,
Accepting a pattern of engaging in activities with inevitable failure.
I just wanna make it out alive,
Desire to survive and escape challenging circumstances.
I’m only out here trying to do my time,
Expressing the intention to serve one's time or fulfill responsibilities.
Don’t want a song,
Rejecting superficial solutions or distractions.
Don’t wanna hear a line,
-I’m trying to make it,
Striving for success and recognition.
Baby, can’t you see?
-Oh, come on,
Reiterating a state of vulnerability, on one's knees.
I’m on my knees, Fortune, begging please,
Begging fortune for mercy and positive change.
I’ve got the rhythm, but the blues won’t ever let me be,
Having a rhythmic or structured life, but unable to escape emotional turmoil.
I’m gonna lose it,
Repetition of the anticipation of losing control.
I’m gonna lose it,
-I’m gonna lose it,
-I’m gonna lose it,
-Going nowhere fast,
Reiterating a sense of stagnation or lack of progress.
I can’t give it up now,
Commitment to persist despite challenges, unable to give up.
Out here for the cash,
Being in a situation for financial gain.
Still just breathing somehow,
Surviving or enduring despite difficulties.
Playing games I was born to lose,
Accepting a pattern of engaging in activities with inevitable failure.
I just wanna make it out alive,
Desire to survive and escape challenging circumstances.
Wandering around in space,
Feeling lost and aimless, with time being irreplaceable.
While time will never be replaced,
Metaphorically drowning in the overwhelming challenges of life.
Just drowning in this cosmic flood,
Describing the vastness and uncontrollable nature of life's challenges.
Lights up in the sky, they’ll be,
Anticipating celestial events as a reflection of life's unpredictability.
Lie awake tonight and see,
Staying awake to contemplate life's uncertainties.
That life is nothing but a dream,
Philosophical reflection on life as transient and possibly illusory.
Playin’ games I was born to lose,
Repeating the acceptance of engaging in activities with inevitable failure but expressing a desire to survive.
I just wanna make it out alive,
-Life is nothing but a dream,
Repetition emphasizing the fleeting and dreamlike nature of life.
Life is nothing but a dream,
-Life is nothing but a dream,
-Life is nothing but a dream,
-Life is nothing but a dream,
Concluding that life is nothing but a dream, possibly questioning its meaning or permanence.
