Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another roadblock in our way
But if we go, we go together
Our hands are tied here if we stay
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
So let them say we won't do better
Lay out the rules that we can't break
They wanna sit and watch you wiggler
Their legacy's too hard to take
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Or either win what they have lost
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
In their heads and in their beds
In their eyes it shows
When the beacon breaks well then
You ask and they don't know
Oh tell me then
I turn my back well the odds all stand beneath me
And they all said I was mislead
But now the odds now standing with me
Oh ah, oh ah
It rolls into the gold
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Or either win what they have lost
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we won't go
Oh ah, oh ah
Our lives worth fighting for
We hear them run, but don't hear what you say
Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way
We hear them run, but don't hear what you say
Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way
In Maya Shiva's song Disparate Youth, the lyrics convey a message of hope and determination amidst difficult circumstances. The song encourages listeners to pursue their dreams and to not be deterred by obstacles in their way. The opening lines caution against looking ahead towards the stormy weather, a metaphor for any challenges we may face in life. Instead, the song urges us to keep moving forward, to "push right past to find out or either win what they have lost."
The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of fighting for our lives and not giving up on our dreams. If we don't succeed at first, we should keep trying and know that our lives are worth fighting for. This message is reinforced in the second verse, which acknowledges that others may doubt us or set rules that we can't break. However, we should not be discouraged by this and should instead focus on proving them wrong.
The final verse highlights the contrast between those who doubt us and our own determination. The phrase "In their heads and in their beds, in their eyes it shows" suggests that others may be resigned to their fate or lack drive, while we continue to propel forward in pursuit of our dreams. The song ends with a rallying cry, encouraging listeners to keep pushing forward and to not let anything stand in their way.
