Madina Lyrics

I'll take your crystal ball
I will take your ability to predict the future, and make it very clear that I won't back down or give up in this situation.

And make this crystal clear, that I won't stand back
I will make it absolutely clear that I won't just stand by and watch things happen, I will take action.

And I won't drown right here
I won't let this situation overwhelm or defeat me, I will keep pushing forward and stay afloat.

I'll never wait
I won't hesitate or delay in taking action, I will seize opportunities as they come.

I'll make a million mistakes
I may not always make the right choices or follow the right path, but I will keep moving forward and trying my best.

But to be content is to be a disgrace
Being complacent or satisfied with the status quo is unacceptable, because it means settling for less than what one is capable of achieving.

they crawl in your head
Negative thoughts and doubts can seep into one's mind and affect their well-being.

They dig in your bones if you let them, they won't let go
If one allows these negative thoughts to take hold, they can become deeply ingrained and almost impossible to shake off.

They have no hope
These negative thoughts have no potential for positive change or growth.

They have no soul if you let them they'll take yours
If one allows these negative thoughts to consume them, they may lose their sense of self and identity.

I think it feels better on the other side
One may believe that those who appear to be doing better or have more than them are happier and better off.

Cause their grass is green and your grass is diseased
Others may seem to have a better life or circumstances, while one's own life may feel chaotic or unhealthy.

Every day drowns in lethargy but to be content is to burn your way
Staying stagnant or passive in one's situation only leads to greater dissatisfaction and unhappiness, so it's better to push oneself even if it's uncomfortable or difficult.

when you die you want the world to remember you for who you really are
One hopes to be remembered for their true character and identity rather than a façade or illusion.

And when you die you want to love yourself cause you'll be all alone
Ultimately, the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself and it's crucial to be self-assured and content before leaving this world.

Don't fear the unknown, cause you'll let them take control
Fear of the unknown can cause one to lose control and give up their power to others or external circumstances.

So let yourself go, and let yourself go don't you let 'em take you a hold
One must release their fears and doubts and take control of their own life and destiny rather than be controlled by external factors or other people's opinions.
