Seconds
Fat Freddy's Drop Lyrics

Make your move if you dare,
Take action if you are brave enough,

Be sure to stay aware.
Make sure to be conscious of your surroundings,

Seconds count in this game,
Time is essential in this situation,

and you've got no one to blame but you.
You are responsible for your own actions and their consequences,

And if it comes face to face, stand true,
Be strong and steadfast in any confrontation,

There's too much to take in so don't think about the win,
There is too much going on to focus too much on the end result,

State of mind will decide your fate (show deception).
Your mental attitude will determine your destiny (showing a trick or feint),

Let the good times roll again, my friend (always hold on).
Try to enjoy life to its fullest once again, my friend (always remain optimistic),

You could be my long lost friend,
It is possible that we have known each other for a long time and lost touch,

Say what you want about me like a friend would do (yeah yeah).
Feel free to speak your mind to me honestly and openly, just like a true friend (reiterating acceptance),

I'll even let you choose my name, but only one that suits my personality (yeah yeah).
I am willing to let you pick a name for me that matches my character, but only if it truly fits (emphasizing individuality),

I feel as though we've met before,
I have a sense of familiarity with you,

It doesn't really matter to me either way.
Regardless of whether we have met or not, it's not a big deal to me,

I'm starting out again brand new,
I am starting fresh and anew,

I can't remember anything past yesterday.
I don't remember anything that happened before yesterday (suggesting a clean slate),

All alone.
Feeling isolated and on your own,

All alone.
Repeating the feeling of loneliness,

Your broken bottled highway, up and down your street,
Your life feels like a rough road with broken bottles that you have to traverse,

Remnants of a dream collect like fallen leaves (Twisting in the wind).
The pieces of your lost aspirations pile up like leaves in the wind (emphasizing the fragility of our dreams),

And if it gets hard to stand, sometimes
And if it becomes difficult to keep going, at times,

Just remember, some get lost, off the track,
Remember that some people get sidetracked and lose their way (offering hope),

You move on and never look back.
You have to keep moving forward and never dwell on the past (encouraging resilience),

Move, if you dare (it's hard to get get, it's hard to get get)
Take action, if you are brave enough (acknowledging the difficulty),

Move, if you dare (in this game, in this game)
Take action, if you are brave enough (restating the urgency),

Move, if you dare (it's hard to get get, it's hard to get get, it's hard)
Take action, if you are brave enough (reiterating the difficulty),

Move, if you dare (in this game, in this game)
Take action, if you are brave enough (stressing the urgency),

Move, if you dare (it's hard to get get, it's hard to get get)
Take action, if you are brave enough (reiterating the difficulty),

Move, if you dare (in this game, in this game)
Take action, if you are brave enough (emphasizing the urgency),

Move, if you dare (it's hard to get get, it's hard to get get, it's hard)
Take action, if you are brave enough (acknowledging the difficulty),

Move, if you dare.
Take action, if you are brave enough (final appeal to courage).
