The Outcast
Embrace Your Uniqueness: Rise Above as The Outcast
Lyrics
Stop letting critics be your rudder and make your own way
Encouragement to disregard critics and carve one's own path
No matter what you achieve they try to take it away
Highlighting the tendency of critics to diminish achievements
Go
Expression of determination or command to proceed
This one's for the black sheep, the bullied, the ones like me
Dedication to individuals marginalized or different, embracing them
To the divergent, the outcast
Specific reference to the divergent and outcasts
I want you to scream with me
Invitation for solidarity and defiance, urging vocal support
We won't listen to the pointless words you say
Resistance to negative opinions and refusal to listen
About how we aren't the same
Rejecting the notion of being identical to others
We are the ones who will change the world today
Claiming the power to influence and change the world
Tirelessly, we break society's chains that bind us to hate
Commitment to breaking societal constraints and promoting love
The pain and sorrow wilt away
Symbolic depiction of overcoming pain and sorrow
And from it blooms a brand new day
Embracing a new beginning arising from challenges
Free I can feel the sun looking down on me
Sensation of freedom and positivity under the sun
Feeling like no one ever gave you a chance
Feeling overlooked or dismissed, facing quick judgment
They judge too fast, brand you the outcast
Being labeled an outcast due to societal judgments
I used to be just like you
Personal admission of past struggles and identification with the listener
Hated the thought of getting bullied at school
Recollection of disdain for bullying experiences
Insecure about the color of my skin
Insecurity related to skin color, a common source of discrimination
So sad I just wanted to fit in
Desire for acceptance and fitting into societal norms
Terrified of going home most nights
Nightmares about returning home due to a troubled family situation
A broken home, this can't be right
Expressing concern about a dysfunctional home life
The pain and sorrow wilt away
Continuation of the metaphorical transformation from pain to a new day
And from it blooms a brand new day
Reiteration of the positive outcome emerging from hardships
Free I can feel the sun looking down on me
Rejoicing in the feeling of liberation and sunlight
Remember it's never too late to believe in yourself
Encouragement to believe in oneself, emphasizing the importance of self-confidence
Rules are made to be broken
Challenge to societal rules, suggesting a rebellious spirit
Doors can be slammed shut but they can also be opened
Acknowledgment of obstacles but highlighting the potential for overcoming them
Inspire someone, walk through the fire for someone
Encouragement to inspire and support others, even in difficult situations
Rebuild the good we have lost with the odds against us
Call to rebuild positive aspects lost, despite unfavorable circumstances
Push through at any cost
Emphasis on perseverance and determination, regardless of challenges
The pain and sorrow wilt away
Reiteration of the transformative process from pain to a new day
And from it blooms a brand new day
Affirmation of positive growth emerging from struggles
Free I can feel the sun looking down on me
Expression of freedom and optimism under the sunlight
Inspire someone, walk through the fire for someone
Reiteration of the call to inspire and support others
Rebuild the good we have lost with the odds against us
Emphasis on rebuilding goodness despite facing adversity
Push through at any cost
Stressing the importance of persevering regardless of the costs
