The Hounds
Unchained Resilience: Taylor McCall's "The Hounds
Lyrics
You left me on the outs
You abandoned me, leaving me excluded
Standing all alone
Left by myself, isolated
That's what I needed now
That's what I required at that moment
But then I did not know
Initially, I didn't understand
The older that we grow
As we get older, there are numerous paths in life
You see there's many roads
There are many choices and opportunities
May it break you down
May difficult experiences break you down
To show lights still on the ground
To reveal that hope still exists
We tend to oversee
We often fail to notice
The fact that we are free
That we possess freedom
Counting all our wrongs
Summing up our mistakes
But they ain't etched in stone
Yet, they aren't permanent
We're all blood and bones
We are all fundamentally human
So baby change your tone
So, change your attitude
You can take your crown
You can keep your position of power
I don't like what it surrounds
I dislike what it represents
Are you waitin' are you waitin'
Are you waiting for darkness?
For the sun to go down
Anticipating a change or end
Are you ready, are you ready
Are you prepared?
I'm releasing the hounds
I'm unleashing fierce emotions or actions
You'll be runnin' you'll be runnin'
You'll be fleeing
Ain't no use in your shouts
Your protests won't help
I ain't bluffin' from your struttin'
I'm serious, not bluffing
This wolf can't be slouched
I won't be subdued or relaxed like a wolf
You can plague my name and heart
Your negative words and feelings can affect me
With them chained profane remarks
With your hurtful remarks and curses
Cause my spirit can't be broke
But my inner strength remains unbroken
From rising tides of smoke
Despite challenges and difficulties
It's just a frame of mind
It's a mindset
With love abound in twine
Love is intertwined and prevalent
That led me to the warm
That guided me to warmth
With a past I could confirm
Despite a confirmed past
Are you waitin' are you waitin'
Are you waiting for darkness?
For the sun to go down
Expecting a change or transition
Are you ready are you ready
Are you prepared?
I'm releasing the hounds
I'm unleashing fierce emotions or actions
You'll be runnin' you'll be runnin'
You'll be fleeing
Ain't no use in your shouts
Your protests won't help
I ain't bluffin' from your struttin'
I'm serious, not bluffing
This wolf can't be slouched
I won't be subdued or relaxed like a wolf
Jealous you yeah yeah yeah
You're envious
Jealous you yeah yeah yeah
-Jealous you yeah yeah yeah
-Are you waitin' are you waitin'
Are you waiting for darkness?
For the sun to go down
Anticipating a change or end
Are you ready, are you ready
Are you prepared?
I'm releasing the hounds
I'm unleashing fierce emotions or actions
You'll be runnin' you'll be runnin'
You'll be fleeing
Ain't no use in your shouts
Your protests won't help
I ain't bluffin' from your struttin'
I'm serious, not bluffing
This wolf can't be slouched
I won't be subdued or relaxed like a wolf
