Against The Grain
Gab De La Vega Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will always save a precious part of the kid I used to be
It′s a flame still burning strong in me that has shaped my identity

I know people change, in most cases
They'll just walk away from me
But my heart′s the same and so is the bond we share
Just the few of us still here
We're still here and I don't mind
Of the times we left behind
′Cause the best is yet to come, just wait and see

The blood that runs in our veins
Heartbeats like drums, the voice of those against the grain
We won′t back down, won't hesitate
That′s what we've learned: the struggle never ends

′Cause we are crazy enough to dream and to try to live at full speed
'Cause we always choose the hard way because we know where it leads

Life is not a game, this is what they say
But they play with lives so easily
No one really cares if you′re alive or dead
But I'll find you next to me

We're still here and I don′t mind
Of the times we left behind
′Cause the best is yet to come, just wait and see

The blood that runs in our veins
Heartbeats like drums, the voice of those against the grain
We won't back down, won′t hesitate
That's what we′ve learned: the struggle never ends

Life's a constant quest
Every scar′s a medal on my chest
To remind me where I've been and where to go

'Cause some roads just lead to dead ends
If you′re lost reach out for my hand




We′ve got each other's back, this is our code
We′ll find another road
