How We Made it Through
NOI!SE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My wife and son, a constant reminder of what I could've thrown away
I should've died countless times, alive because of the ones who stayed
And everyday is another chance to do everything I can to earn what I have today
And all the times you helped me stand
When I was keeping myself down
I'd look up to see a hand
Looking back on countless yesterdays that should've been my last
How did I ever make it though?
Years, when I was my worst enemy
My family stood right by my side and my friends stayed true
How did I make it through? It's all because of you
Older ones when I was young gave me shelter from the storm
Tried to protect and keep me in check and now
I'm walking strong As far as I can tell, this world's a living hell I'll give back what I'm shown and that's why I'll never walk alone
Suddenly I see the man that I've become
The scars I hide inside remind me where
I'm from The debt I owe you all can never be repaid
All I have is a path to get better everyday

When you have been listening to punk rock for as long as I have (over 30 yrs), you experience lulls where so much music starts to sound stale. You wait and hope for that tap on the shoulder again that reminds you of why you got into this music in the 1st place. Take my word for it. This band is that tap on the shoulder. These guys are the real deal and should be your new favorite band.
