Tried and True
Rising from Betrayal: Terminal Sleep's Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
Looking back, it’s funny
Reflecting on past experiences, finding humor in them
All the lies that kept me down
Deception and falsehoods caused personal setbacks
My emotions, were battered
Feeling emotionally damaged and worn down
And I shrank in sound
Withdrew or retreated due to emotional distress
A hate-fuelled focus
Driven by intense hatred or resentment
Pushes me to overcome
Motivated to conquer challenges
The pain you caused me
Pain inflicted by someone else's actions
Pain which I
Refusing to be defeated by that pain
Will never succumb to
Determined not to give in to suffering
My path is forever set
Firmly established on a particular life path
There is only, ever one word
One dominant feeling or word associated with the person being addressed
When I fucking think of you
Strong negative sentiment upon thinking about the person
Coward, you’re a coward, tried and true
Labeling the person as a coward consistently
You know, we all see you, and what you do
Asserting that others also recognize the person's behavior
For all the times you let me down
Repeated disappointment caused by the person
Your joy is lost and never found
Their happiness or contentment remains elusive
Never found
Emphasizing the inability to find contentment
Fuck
Expression of frustration or anger
You took me from my sanity
Having one's sanity taken away by the person's actions
You greased the walls
Creating obstacles or difficulties
And lit the match
Aggravating an already difficult situation
Up in flames, went clarity
Clear understanding destroyed or consumed
Pleasing you, my own mistake
Prioritizing the satisfaction of the addressed person was an error
But I am still breathing without you
Surviving despite the absence or departure of the person
I am still searching
Continuing to seek
I am still yearning
Longing or yearning persists
For all the times you let me down
Repeated sense of disappointment caused by the person
Your joy is lost and never found
Their happiness or contentment remains elusive (repeated sentiment)
Never found
Emphasizing the inability to find contentment (repeated sentiment)
