Lyrics
Turn in chapters one and two, write me a paper on how to be "successful".
Turning in assignments (chapters) and writing papers is expected in the pursuit of success.
You can take all of this to the trash where they belong.
Rejecting conventional expectations and suggesting that these pursuits are worthless.
I am told to endure.
Enduring challenges and difficulties as a requirement.
It will get better as time passes.
Assurance that things will improve over time.
This is only preparing us to become adults.
The challenges faced are a preparation for adulthood.
What more is it that you want?
Questioning the expectations and demands placed on an individual.
What we feed them what they wait, you play the game.
Highlighting the cycle of fulfilling expectations and playing societal games.
I am told to endure, That it will get better as time passes.
Reiteration of the idea to endure and wait for improvement.
This is only preparing us to become adults.
Re-emphasizing that the challenges are part of preparing for adulthood.
The only solution is to take it with a grain of salt.
Suggesting that tolerating difficulties is the only solution.
Try your best but don't let it get you down.
Encouragement to give one's best without succumbing to negativity.
Try your best. it's never enough.
Expressing the feeling that one's best efforts are never sufficient.
They keep pushing you while all eyes look down on you.
Facing external pressures and judgments while being ignored.
Try your best but don't let it get you down.
Repetition of the advice to do one's best without getting disheartened.
Try your best but don't let it get you down,
Reiteration of the advice to persevere despite challenges.
Drain me of life
Repetition of the idea of feeling drained or exhausted by life's challenges.
Drain me of life
-Drain me of life
-Drain me of life.
-All for a letter
Indicating that all the struggles are for the sake of a letter (grade or achievement).
All for a letter
-This paper means nothing to me
Disregarding the importance of a particular paper assignment.
Except that I have beat you and your pathetic game.
Declaring victory over the challenges and the perceived game of life.
This paper means nothing to me except I have beat you.
Reiterating the insignificance of the paper assignment compared to personal triumph.
The only situation is to take it with a grain of salt
Repeating the idea that enduring difficulties is the only solution.
How to be successful is not defined in any book or classroom.
Challenging the idea that success can be defined by books or classrooms.
I use this as a model for my life
Using the rejection of a paper as a model for life, emphasizing personal growth over external validation.
