Stockholm
Atlas Genius Lyrics

Won a moment, lost a bet
I had a brief moment of success but followed it with something that cost me.

Saw a mountain, went to bed
I had a lofty goal or challenge ahead of me but instead chose to rest and avoid it.

Paid a ransom for a ghost
I gave away something valuable for something that ultimately had no substance or impact.

For the thing I want the most
Despite making bad choices, I continue to prioritize and strive for what is ultimately important to me.

So I left to find a home
I walked away from something or someone to search for a place where I belong.

For a place to call my own
I am seeking a sense of ownership and control in my life.

Even if you think we're not
Despite what others may think or say, we are actually very similar or compatible.

We're close to close enough
We are so near to being exactly where we need to be, we just need to keep pushing forward.

It's an end to end the start
This is both the end of one phase and the beginning of another, representing a fresh start.

We're moving from the ground floor
We're starting from the basics and gradually building up to achieve something greater.

Rise inside
Motivate yourself from within to reach new heights.

Push us up more
Keep striving for improvement; don't settle for mediocrity.

How we climb
The way we approach our struggles and work towards our goals.

As the water's pouring in
Despite facing challenges, we are still moving towards our destination.

Like it always should have been
The path we're on now feels natural and right, as if it was always meant to be.

We can crawl or we can run
We have the choice to struggle slowly or push ourselves to move forward faster.

Towards the sun
We are moving forward towards the future and the potential for bright things ahead.

Take it all, I'll keep the rest
I'm willing to give away everything else in order to keep what really matters to me.

Burn the wheels and punch your chest
Put in maximum effort, even if it means pushing yourself to exhaustion.

In the days before the cold
Referring to a time before things stopped working, before a difficult or stagnant phase.

All the houses oversold
All the potential direction or options of where to go or what to do have been exhausted.

And although we've just begun
Despite the fact that we're just starting our journey, I have confidence in our ability to succeed.

We can go until we've won
We can continue working towards our goals until we finally achieve success.
