Voices
Jiinio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you something you already know
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows
It's a very mean and nasty place
And I don't care how you are it will
Beat you to you knees and keep you there permanently if you let it
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit hard as life
But it ain't about how hard ya it
It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward

How much you take and keep moving forward
That's how winning is done!
Now if you are known what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth

But ya gotta be willing to take the hits
And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her, or anybody!

Overall Meaning

In Jiinio's song "Voices," the opening verse stresses the idea that the world is not a happy and perfect place. He asserts that it is mean and harsh, and can make you feel helpless if you permit it. Everyone will experience tough times, yet the song's main message is that it is subjective to how hard someone can withstand these hardships, and whether they can keep pushing forward. Winning isn't about how hard someone can fight, but how much they can take before getting back up and continuing to move forward. Jiinio concludes the verse by stating that blaming external factors or people is not the route to success. One must uphold responsibility for their life, strive to improve themselves, and go after what they desire.

The meaning behind Jiinio's "Voices" is intertwined with the struggle of self-confidence and realization. The song's central message is to stop and listen to the inner voice that everyone possesses, the one that reminds people of their true worth and potential. The second verse is about acknowledging one's past and rising above it. The artist delivers lyrics in a way that suggests a continuation of the opening verse: the world can be tough, but it is up to oneself to get up and keep fighting. Jiinio sings of his struggles with mental health, anxiety, and low self-esteem, delivering a unique and transparent perspective that listeners can resonate with. The song concludes on a note of triumph, with Jiinio affirming that he is capable, and he will defeat the voices inside his head because he knows his worth.
