LYRICS
(still very rough):
Never had luck gave it up for the long fight
Every night in my sight gave it all my hang tight
Seen enough of the same with a no-name
Givin’ all I had for my __ __ new fame
Movin’ from the shallow to the deep
Bring it from the frozen to the heat
‘Cause I can take a knock on the chin from the best’a them
Never give a reason to be innocent
‘Cause I’m a
Live or die, fight or flight
Takin out the clock with a one shot called it
Prophesied, gratify
Gonna take it to the top
Gotta live it up glorified
Never give a reason to be broken
Never fight the feeling at the rate you’re falling
Never find the meaning, only seen it
Never cross my path again _ _ got it?
Movin’ from the shallow to the deep
Bring it thru the frozen to the heat
‘Cause I can crack a whip from the hip, leave the enemy
Wishing they had never seen the best of me
‘Cause I’m a
Live or die, fight or flight
Takin out the clock with a one shot called it
Prophesied, gratify
Gonna take it to the top
Gotta live it up glorified
SONG LORE
Writing Process
As I explained in the livestream re-post above, this song instrumentally began as a track for a TV show pitch. I don’t even remember at this point what the pitch was for, but I later came up with the chorus melody vocal idea for it followed by the verses. The 2nd verse I’d like to be female vocals sung by Sarah, and then harmonizing from the 2nd chorus onward. The bridge tbd.
Song Meaning
The meaning is still being discovered on this one (haha). When songs are this early in the process, sometimes the theme or meaning hasn’t been quite nailed down yet. Overall I’d like this to be an empowerment song, rising up from the ashes to a new “glory”.
I’m not hip on the 2nd verse lyrics. What’s there currently are just placeholder words which usually happens early on in the writing process. I also want to note that I don’t like how it talks about “the enemy” as I personally believe that it’s important to make peace with everyone, including those who might initially be perceived as enemies so I definitely have some reworking of the lyrics right there especially. Stay tuned as Sarah and I will continue to carve this one out!
