Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Counted her out before they gave her a chance
(To get up)
The underdog, same as usual
Everyone's watching and the pressure, it just won't let up
Tell me, I want'cha to, I want'cha to think that I
(Drowning in myself)
But baby no
After what I've been through
Lesson learned, story told, I know that
Nothing is impossible
Can't stop, won't stop, never gonna let it go
See that, now I know, nothing is impossible
Can't stop, won't stop, never gonna let it go
Takin' back my self control
Nothing is impossible
Nothings Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Nothin' is impossible
Nothings Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Nothin' is impossible
(I think) Difficulties, her position
Ooh
(What she gonna do makes, blown all outa context)
Simple mistake, crucifixion
Everyones watchin'
And the Pressure, just what you'd expect
Tell me, I wantcha too, I wantcha to think that I
(Drowning in myself)
But baby no, after what I've been through,
Lesson learned, story told, I know that
Nothing is impossible
Can't stop, won't stop, never gonna let it go
See that, now I know, nothing is impossible
Can't stop, won't stop, never gonna let it go
Takin' back my self control
Nothing is impossible
Oh Humans are bad I can be
(Nobody's perfect, especially me)
Ooh What you get is what you see
(Not gonna let it, steal a thing from me)
From me, from me, in perfect little me
(Won't stop, won't stop, never gonna let it go)
Never let it
(Nothing is impossible, can't stop, won't stop)
Noo noo-oo
(Never gonna let it go)
Yeah
(Nothing is impossible)
Impossible
(Can't stop, won't stop, neva' gonna let it go, see that now I know)
I know!
(Nothing is impossible, can't stop, won't stop,
Never gonna let it go, takin' back my self control,
Nothings is impossible, nothings impossible, impossible, impossible,
Nothing is impossible, nothings impossible, impossible, impossible,
Nothing is impossible)
Baul, baual, baauul, nothing is impossible, impossible.
The lyrics to Buck & Evans's song "Impossible" convey a message of resilience, determination, and the power of overcoming obstacles. The first verse describes a person who faced a major setback and was written off by others. Despite the pressure and doubt, she refuses to give up and wants others to believe that she is not defeated. The line "Tell me, I want'cha to, I want'cha to think that I, drowning in myself, but baby no" suggests that she wants others to perceive her as strong and capable, even though she may be struggling internally.
The chorus reinforces the theme by proclaiming that nothing is impossible. It emphasizes the resolve to never give up, to keep pushing forward, and to reclaim control over one's life. The repetition of "can't stop, won't stop, never gonna let it go" showcases the unwavering determination to overcome any challenges. The lyric "Takin' back my self-control" further emphasizes the idea of reclaiming personal power and agency in the face of adversity.
The second verse touches on the public scrutiny and criticism that often accompanies difficulties. The line "What she gonna do makes, blown all outa context" highlights the tendency for people to blow things out of proportion and unfairly judge others' actions. The lyrics also acknowledge the imperfections of being human, with the lines "Oh Humans are bad I can be, nobody's perfect, especially me." This suggests that despite imperfections, one can still strive to overcome and not let those imperfections define them.
Overall, the song's message is one of resilience and the belief that with determination, one can overcome any obstacle. It encourages listeners to stay strong, keep pushing forward, and embrace their own power to achieve the seemingly impossible.
