Incomplete Harmony
Incomplete Harmony: Battling the Daily Grind
Lyrics
I awaken bloodshot and sore
I wake up with bloodshot eyes and feeling sore.
Another days heat another days scorn
Another day's challenges and disappointments.
I awaken bloodshot and sore
Repeat of the description of waking up in a challenging state.
Bruised and worn from the day before
Physically and emotionally exhausted from the previous day.
Reluctantly I place my feet on the floor
Reluctantly, I put my feet on the floor to face the day.
Then I venture on through that door
I proceed through a symbolic door, entering the challenges of life.
Onward into the days heat
Continuing through the difficulties of the day.
As unforgiving concrete passes underneath me
Walking on unforgiving concrete, facing harsh realities.
I lock eyes with myself and I ask honestly am I really complete?
Questioning one's completeness and true identity.
Finding comfort in stability
Finding solace in stability, seeking a sense of security.
These words are all foreign to me
Words like stability are unfamiliar and perhaps elusive.
Constant grind to make ends meet
A constant struggle to meet basic needs.
These words have more familiarity
Words associated with hardship are more relatable.
Is there more or is this what destined for
Questioning if there is more to life or if this is the destined path.
Arise and sleep a constant grind to make ends meet
Repeated mention of the daily grind to make ends meet.
I awaken bloodshot and sore
Reiteration of waking up in a challenging state.
Another days heat another days scorn
Another day with challenges and disappointments.
The grit built up beneath my nails
Grit under the nails symbolizes resilience and determination.
Tells the story of a man that refuses to fail
The marks of someone who refuses to accept failure.
Bruised and worn from the day before
Still affected by the previous day's struggles.
Another days heat another days scorn
Another day with challenges and disappointments.
I awaken bloodshot and sore
Repetition of waking up in a challenging state.
Bruised and worn from the day before
Physically and emotionally worn out from the previous day.
Reluctantly I place my feet on the floor
Reluctantly facing the challenges of a new day.
Then once more I head through that door
Heading out again through the symbolic door.
Is there more or is this what I am destined for
Questioning whether there is more to life or if this is the destined path.
Arise and sleep, a constant grind to make ends meet
Reiteration of the constant struggle to make ends meet.
Break my back a thousand times
The physical and emotional toll of hard work.
I try to tell myself everything will be fine
Trying to reassure oneself that everything will be fine.
Another day another dollar
Another day, another opportunity to earn a living.
Don't surrender this fight
Encouragement not to give up in the face of challenges.
