Ballad
K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I think of life
I think about how hard I try
To make everyone happy
By doing things that mean nothing to me
I guess I do not match their vision
Because they think I'll have decisions
Ready for what I want to do forever so easily
Maybe one day I will see
That life isn't all misery
Like with all of the things required
To live in this society
They say "Go to school get your degree
You'll get a good job you will see
Give up your dreams cause you wont make it
Forget it, move on, you're not free"
You love something, but does it pay
Most people tend to never stray
Away from normal jobs and careers
So why be different anyway
I hate the way it makes me feel
To know that my goals are so real
But really are they realistic
Do I stop dreaming no big deal
I'll never stop this feeling of
The love of music in my heart
I'll never conform to the rules




I'll sing until I fall apart
It's true

Overall Meaning

In K.'s Ballad, the lyrics touch upon the frustrations and challenges of trying to balance personal aspirations with societal expectations, especially when it comes to pursuing a passion or dream. The singer wonders if they are not meeting others' expectations, despite their own sense of purpose, or whether their dreams are too impractical. The pressure to conform to the norm and focus on a practical or lucrative career path, rather than a creative one, is a recurring theme throughout the song. The singer struggles with the feeling of isolation that comes from feeling misunderstood, and whether it is worth it to continue pursuing music, even though it may not be profitable. Ultimately, the singer affirms their commitment to their art regardless of the constraints or consequences, and that they will never compromise their love of music.


Line by Line Meaning

Every time I think of life
Whenever I contemplate about existence and its many facets


I think about how hard I try
I reflect on the great effort I expend


To make everyone happy
To ensure the contentment of every person


By doing things that mean nothing to me
By performing tasks that hold no significance to me


I guess I do not match their vision
I suppose my aspirations do not correspond with theirs


Because they think I'll have decisions
Since they expect me to have concrete plans


Ready for what I want to do forever so easily
Prepared to seamlessly pursue what I want to do for eternity


Maybe one day I will see
Perhaps one day I will realize


That life isn't all misery
That life is not all suffering and hardship


Like with all of the things required
Including all the things that are deemed necessary


To live in this society
To coexist in this particular community


They say "Go to school get your degree
People often advise, "Attend an educational institution and obtain a credential


You'll get a good job you will see
You will eventually acquire a desirable occupation if you do so


Give up your dreams cause you wont make it
Relinquish your aspirations because they are unattainable


Forget it, move on, you're not free"
Disregard them and move in a different direction since you lack autonomy


You love something, but does it pay
You possess a passion, but does it monetarily compensate


Most people tend to never stray
The majority of individuals typically refrain from venturing outside the norm


Away from normal jobs and careers
From conventional occupations and professions


So why be different anyway
Thus, what is the reason for being distinctive


I hate the way it makes me feel
I despise the emotions it evokes inside of me


To know that my goals are so real
To acknowledge that my aims are so genuine


But really are they realistic
But in actuality, are they reasonable


Do I stop dreaming no big deal
Should I abandon my aspirations, nonchalantly and without concern


I'll never stop this feeling of
I shall forever retain this sensation of


The love of music in my heart
The deep affection for music within me


I'll never conform to the rules
I will not comply with the regulations


I'll sing until I fall apart
I shall continue to sing until my body gives out


It's true
This statement is accurate and genuine
