Punches
Bryce Fox Lyrics

Would you know what love is, if hate didn't exist?
Love is only understood through an understanding of its opposite, hate.

You don't know about a heartbreak If the heart was always fixed
One cannot truly understand heartbreak unless they have experienced a broken heart.

And I don't like a story, without a real good twist
The singer prefers stories with unexpected and exciting turns of events.

You know, there's evil in this world we can't control So let the punches roll
Evil will always exist, but we must persevere and keep fighting back.

I don't like we've all been born afraid Are we gonna make our great escape?
The artist dislikes the fact that humans are naturally fearful and questions whether we will ever be truly free from that fear.

I feel alive, but I feel ashamed Don't ask me why
The singer feels a mix of emotions, including a lust for life and a sense of guilt for feeling that way.

There's blood to be shared or mouths to be fed
There are always difficult choices to make, including whether to fight for something or to prioritize basic needs like food and survival.

How 'bout a newsflash, Ain't no such thing as a new past
The past cannot be changed and we must confront its consequences in the present.

Yeah we survive or we don't last
Human survival is not guaranteed, and we must constantly fight to ensure our survival as a species.

Go ahead and rain on my parade Yeah I'll be throwing roses on my way
The artist will remain optimistic and positive in the face of adversity.

And what is it good for with nothing to fight for? So let the punches roll
Without a cause worth fighting for, there is no point in simply existing. However, we must also be prepared to face challenges and fight for what we believe in.

So let the punches roll
We must be prepared to face and fight back against the challenges and struggles of life.
