I Got Life
Mercy Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breaking through an open door
Bring your rage, what to gain
All you ever bought was pain
I got life, I got mine
I've got family, I got time
I've got hands to make it right
Well, I've got anger
And it's in my soul
Well, I've got rage
But I've got control
Well, I've got patience
But you're on my toes
You light my fire
Now see me grow
Anger strike, weakened heart
Healing is our only part
Back to one, what you've begun
Love might be our strongest gun
Like the rain our hope is falling
But with the sun comes a brand new day
These lyrics to Mercy Fall's song "I Got Life" convey a message of perseverance and hope in the face of adversity. The opening lines of "Watching you feeling more, breaking through an open door" suggest a situation where the singer is observing someone trying to overcome a challenge. The chorus follows with the singer's assertion that they have a lot to live for - "I've got life, I've got mine, I've got family, I've got time" - and that they possess the tools to overcome any obstacles ("hands to make it right," "love," and "control").
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotional state. While they acknowledge that they have anger and rage within them, they also know that they have the ability to handle those feelings ("I've got control"). They also express a sense of urgency, with the line "you're on my toes" suggesting that they can't afford to wait around for things to get better. The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope: "Like the rain our hope is falling, but with the sun comes a brand new day." This suggests that even in the darkest of times, there is still the possibility for things to turn around.
Overall, "I Got Life" is a song about resilience and determination. It acknowledges the presence of difficult emotions like anger and sadness, but also emphasizes the importance of self-belief and the support of loved ones.

I seen these guys live in november '07 in Austintown, Ohio. They opened for Crossfade and Buckcherry. The vocalist Sam was going around after their set selling cd's. I got to talk to him and he autographed my cd case. Was pretty cool meeting him and hearing their music.

I saw these guys back in 06. They were pretty good. I followed them for a bit when they became Corvo Radio(?) but lost track of them years ago.
