So Be It
Defiant Echoes: Embracing Struggle, Fury, and Violent Glory in 'So Be It'
Lyrics
So be it, if we're the last ones left
Acceptance of being the last survivors.
It's all we are, maybe all we're gonna be
Acknowledgment that this is our identity and potential future.
Might be cast aside but that don't bother me
Indifference to being neglected or marginalized by others.
So be it, if we gotta fight
Readiness to fight if necessary.
I'll be damned if I toe the line
Determination not to conform or submit easily.
The worst is yet to come but I'll struggle for what's mine
Anticipation of challenging times, but fighting for one's possessions.
What's mine
Emphasis on personal belongings or achievements.
Not one step back
Commitment to stand firm, no retreat.
Against them all, I'll dwell on the fringe
Facing opposition with resilience on the outskirts of societal norms.
Outside of the outside looking in
Being an outsider looking into mainstream society.
The scars on my hands are for a reason
Physical scars as a result of purposeful actions.
This world disposed of us and I won't make it easy for 'em
Resistance against a world that has discarded them.
With fury, pride, violent glory
Approaching challenges with intense emotion, pride, and glory.
Pissin' on your territory
Asserting dominance over a claimed territory.
Wade into the fire again
Bravely entering difficult situations.
One battle ends and another begins
A continuous cycle of battles and challenges.
So be it, so be it
Reiteration of acceptance and determination.
So be it, so be it
Repetition for emphasis.
Against them all, I'll dwell on the fringe
Resilience in the face of opposition.
Outside of the outside looking in
Continued identity as an outsider observing mainstream society.
The scars on my hands are for a reason
Physical scars carry significance and purpose.
This world disposed of us and I won't make it easy for 'em
Defiance against a world that rejects them.
In the end I know we'll win
Confidence in eventual victory despite hardships.
'Cause death will end our suffering
Belief that death will bring an end to suffering.
As long as I can form a fist
Commitment to fight as long as physical strength remains.
I'll war forever with you my friend
Eternal commitment to conflict with a close companion.
So be it, is what you said to me
Confirmation of acceptance and commitment from a friend.
It's in the blood scolding in our veins
Shared heritage and determination running through their blood.
We might crease and grey
Acknowledgment of aging but maintaining mental intensity.
But the madness stays
The persistence of chaos and madness in their lives.
So be it, it's what you said to me
Reiteration of acceptance and commitment.
When the walls were closing in
Recalling a challenging moment with encroaching difficulties.
And the future looks grim
Facing a grim future but refusing to surrender.
We'll give them no surrender
Determination to resist until the very end.
To the bitter fuckin' end
Firm commitment to persevere until the end, using strong language.
