Shadowboxing
Rising from Shadows: Battling Life's Challenges through Strength and Redemption
Lyrics
Twenty some years ainu0027t got much to show
Reflecting on a period of about twenty years with little achievement or tangible results.
I spend most of my matches with my back against the ropes
Feeling consistently challenged and under pressure, often in difficult situations.
Thereu0027s a crowd looking on what do you wanna see
Questioning the expectations of others and the desire for a particular outcome or performance.
Been throwing fights my whole life for the right fee
Admitting to a history of intentionally losing fights for financial gain.
I need to win one to get me back on my feet
Expressing the need for a significant victory to overcome challenges and improve one's situation.
A strong footing to give my punches some heat
Seeking stability and strength to make one's efforts more impactful, especially in physical confrontations.
Instead of all this shadowboxing
Frustration with engaging in meaningless or deceptive activities without tangible results.
Nothing comes easy and if does it comes cheap
Emphasizing the difficulty of achieving success and the potential lack of value if it comes too easily.
Like a bottom shelf bourbon or the lies that I tell through my teeth
Comparing easy achievements to things of low quality, such as cheap whiskey or dishonest communication.
Thereu0027s a fire in my eyes and I wanna watch it burn
Expressing a burning desire or passion that needs to be unleashed and observed.
Kill the man that I was and send the ashes to the urn
Desiring a transformation by eliminating the past self and symbolically sending it away.
I need to win one to get me back on my feet
Reiterating the importance of winning a significant victory for personal recovery.
A strong footing to give my punches some heat
Continuing the quest for stability and strength to make personal efforts more impactful.
Instead of all this shadowboxing
Repeating frustration with engaging in meaningless or deceptive activities without tangible results.
You might have broken bones but youu0027ve got soul
Acknowledging resilience and strength of character, even in the face of physical challenges.
I need to win one to get me back on my feet
Reiterating the importance of winning a significant victory for personal recovery.
A strong footing to give my punches some heat
Continuing the quest for stability and strength to make personal efforts more impactful.
Instead of all this shadowboxing
Repeating frustration with engaging in meaningless or deceptive activities without tangible results.
