Embracing Resilience: Defying Demons in "This Time" by Taylor Rose
Lyrics
I said it before how I felt back then
The speaker expresses a past declaration of feelings.
Weight of the world, felt like giving in
The burden of life felt overwhelming, leading to a desire to surrender.
I couldn't feel what I believed in
There was a disconnect between emotions and beliefs.
All too dark for light to make sense
The situation was too grim for positivity to make sense.
With every step I was digging in
The speaker faced challenges with every step taken.
I couldn't let my demons win
A struggle against personal demons, determined not to let them win.
Middle finger up and that's it
A defiant gesture, indicating a refusal to succumb.
What a good time to be competitive
Viewing competitiveness as an opportunity amid difficulties.
So
Transition to contemplation or reflection.
What if I, what if I
Considering the consequences of saying goodbye or not trying.
Said goodbye, said goodbye
-What if I, what if I
-Didn't try, didn't try
-I could've always said goodbye
Emphasizing the decision not to give in this time, resisting surrender.
But I didn't give in this time
-No, I didn't give in this time
-No, I didn't give in this time
-Still feeling all too delicate
Still feeling fragile and vulnerable.
Like a mirror with no way in
Comparing oneself to a delicate mirror, shaped by external perceptions.
You see what you want inside of it
-My reflection how you see fit
-So
Return to contemplation or reflection.
What if I, what if I
Reiteration of the internal struggle and the decision not to give in.
Said goodbye, said goodbye
-What if I, what if I
-Didn't try, didn't try
-I could've always said goodbye
-But I didn't give in this time
-No, I didn't give in this time
-No, I didn't give in this time
-Walls are up and they're wearing thin
Acknowledging protective walls that are becoming vulnerable.
So many times I could cave in
Admitting the temptation to yield in numerous instances.
But I made my choice and that's it
Confirming the choice made to resist surrender.
So here I am now owning this
Present acceptance and ownership of the current situation.
