I Fought the Angels
Struggling with Myself: I Fought the Angels
Lyrics
I fought the angels here today
I engaged in a conflict with angels today.
Hope my defeat will end this play
I hope that my failure will bring an end to this situation or drama.
Everybody knows that
It is widely known.
I only have myself to blame
I am solely responsible for my predicament.
Softly softly wins the game
Gentle and careful actions lead to success.
Trust
Faith or reliance on someone or something.
I'll try to learn again
I will make an effort to understand once more.
My words are seldom for a friend
My words are rarely spoken for a friend.
Knew at the time that they came out
At the time they were uttered, I recognized their negative impact.
Wish I could have them disallowed
I wish I could have prevented their expression.
Everybody knows that
It is common knowledge.
We say things we do not mean
We say things without genuine intent.
Everybody jnows that
General acknowledgement that people speak unclean or inappropriate things.
We say things that are unclean
We express words that are impure or morally questionable.
Trust
Faith or reliance on someone or something.
I'll try to learn again
I will attempt to understand once more.
My words are seldom for a friend
My words are rarely spoken for a friend.
Run conversations in my head
I mentally replay conversations.
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
I create my own scenarios to cope with anxiety.
And if I speak out loud
If I speak aloud, I must change the established norms or rules.
I will have to change the rules
Speaking aloud necessitates altering the existing rules.
For speaking's out of bounds
Speaking is prohibited for a fool.
If it's practiced by a fool
Speaking openly is deemed foolish if practiced by a fool.
Trust
Faith or reliance on someone or something.
I'll try to learn again
I will make an effort to understand once more.
My words are seldom for a friend
My words are rarely spoken for a friend.
So lend me an ear to lean upon
Please lend me an ear to support me.
To speak to and learn my speaking from
To communicate and improve my communication skills.
