Honor Among Thieves
Standing Alone: Embracing Life's Rebellion
Lyrics
Runnin with the thieves yeah - And slumming with the rats
Engaging in activities associated with both criminals and those living in poverty
Been runnin fifteen years - You can never bring me back
Been involved in a lifestyle for a significant duration, impossible to return to a previous state
We lived our lives hard - And we lived our lives fast - Fightin for the future
Lived a challenging life, rapidly and fiercely, while fighting for a better future
Still e struggle with our past - And we're still all outcasts
Despite striving for progress, there's ongoing difficulty dealing with past experiences, and still feeling excluded
Cause this is the - Only life I know
Expressing familiarity with only this particular way of life
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
Concern about being left alone when facing adversity, emphasizing the fear of isolation
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough
Questioning if the effort put forth was sufficient or if more was needed
Flew Through all th good times - And dragged through all the bad
Endured both enjoyable and challenging experiences
These are the best friends - That I ever had
Referring to companions from this particular lifestyle as the closest and most valued friends
Living like paupers - We were runnin with the kings - Fighting like brothers
Living in hardship yet associating with influential or affluent individuals, fighting together like family
I wouldn't change a thing - No I wouldn't change a thing
Expressing contentment with the past and the experiences, choosing not to alter them
Cause this is the - Only life I know
Reiterating the familiarity and exclusivity of this particular life
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
Worry about being abandoned during challenging times, emphasizing the fear of being solitary
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough
Raising doubts about whether the effort given was sufficient
I got your back - And you've got mine
Mutual support and solidarity between individuals
We can make a difference - It just takes some time
Belief that collective action can bring about change but requires patience
I got your back - And you've got mine
Mutual support and solidarity between individuals (repeated)
We can make a difference - It just takes some time
Belief that collective action can bring about change but requires patience (repeated)
Cause this is the - Only life I know
Emphasizing again the exclusivity and familiarity of this particular life
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Reiterating the fear of being abandoned during tough times
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough
Questioning the adequacy of the effort put forth
Cause this is the - Only life I know
Reiterating the exclusivity and familiarity of this particular life
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Reiteration of fear about being left alone during hardships
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough
Repeating doubts about whether the effort given was sufficient
