Survive
Gideon (Rock) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go past your fears so you can finally be free
Push through the pain! (PAIN!) You can't be afraid
You won't see the sun until you walk through the rain
Fall, get up, repeat!
Welcome the hard times, rise in defeat
Fall, get up, repeat!
Keep moving, don't stop for anything!
Inhale the struggle, exhale the trouble
Bear your cross with honor even when your knees buckle
And don't forget where you came from
Your determination will determine the man you'll become
Breathe life, breathe life, survive
Are you afraid to die? Afraid to be alive?
This time I've made up my mind and I'm not wastin' time
Survival of the fittest, survive, survive
Breathe life, breathe life, survive
Are you afraid to die, afraid to be alive?
This time I've made up my mind and I'm not wastin' time
Survival of the fittest, survive, survive
This is your life, so come out swinging
Stop sitting in silence, start kicking and screaming
Push through the hate, don't give em reasons to say
They were right, you were wrong, you couldn't go all the way
Fall, get up, repeat!
Welcome the hard times, rise in defeat
Fall, get up, repeat!
Fall, get up, repeat!
Keep moving, don't stop for anything!
Breathe life, breathe life, survive
Are you afraid to die? Afraid to be alive?
This time I've made up my mind and I'm not wastin' time
Survival of the fittest, survive, survive
Breathe life, breathe life, survive
Are you afraid to die, afraid to be alive?
This time I've made up my mind and I'm not wastin' time
Survival of the fittest, survive, survive
We are relentless!
Adversity devours the weak
If you want it, go and get it!
We are relentless! Relentless!
