Lyrical Analysis of...
Still I Rise
- They told me life will get better
- they told me stormy weather
- can't last forever
- it's been raining 18 years
- at least it's hiding these tears
- that are tearing up my dreams
- i can't hear my thoughts beyond the screams
- coming from my mind saying deaths not far behind
- and maybe i'll just stop running
- finally take that gun and...
- yeah it's dark over here
- yeah
- it's dreary over here
- my life ran by fear
- i fear life
- maybe I'm tired of holding this knife
- pressing it in my thighs
- hoping i will realise
- that my conscience
- is saying no other option
- but the throat
- tie that noose and choke
- but I'm choking back depression
- i think i've learned my lesson
- you can't swallow
- you're own shadow
- you can't win
- hell's battle
- the cards were always stacked
- the world's attack
- what is strong anyway
- what is sunlight anyway
- so i take that blood anyway
- wipe the stains
- hide the pain anyway
- i wear that mask everyday
- they told me life would get better
- they fucking lied
- don't they see i fucking tried
- don't they see I've died
- several times
- committed the worse crimes
- to myself
- cut out my soul
- placed it on the shelf
- i look in the mirror
- I'm transparent
- maybe it's because i never had good parents
- my dad left and denied me
- waited 13 years before he finds me
- come to find out he's a rapist
- tried to mend regret and escape this
- this jail.
- he made my mother derail
- she train wrecked into a dealer
- who beat her
- became her healer
- with a pipe,
- she told me it's all right
- with two black eyes and sunken in face
- she taught me that depression
- is just a phase
- that men are all the same
- that life is a fucking game
- we're destined to lose
- no point to choose
- because it always ends up the same
- one day you're here
- then you disappear
- and the memory barely remains
- barely, she cared barely
- one day she was here
- then she disappeared
- haven't heard from her in four years
- i'm running out of tears
- and they're my only source of water
- was i not a good enough daughter
- i look around and i'm talking to the walls
- and the sky
- God i'd thought you'd hold me when i cry
- when i lie at your feet
- and lie that i trust you
- and lie that i lie
- So i take that drink
- close my eyes
- when will it get better
- when will night turn to day
- when will i wash away
- i'm fading into nothing
- praying to something
- i can't name
- a girl so different but the same
- a girl angry but so tame
- a girl so broken
- a girl who has never spoken
- the fate of the girl
- is fading
- growing to the like the darkness
- I'm creating
- hell in my step
- in my heart
- in my breath
- hardly breathing
- looking at the life I'm leading
- not feeling
- just bleeding out
- this is what life's about
- survival
- my pitiful archival
- glass never half full
- just knock it back
- after it all still won't crack
- knock it back
- forget all that
- i'm a phoenix from the ashes
- asking the devil where my rematch is
- fuck all this strife
- my soul is the temple
- and I'm the God of my life.
- though the story goes
- i'll decide how it grows
- through the highs and the lows
- point my eyes to the skies
- no matter what
- still I rise.
