Struggle
Planet Smashers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and seasons in full swing
Stakes are high pick your invitations
Careful not to push or shove
If you want in on the new idea
Who will be the first to unite?
Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope
A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and the pace is picking up
Place your bets no room for hesitation
The trick is to show some love
If you want in on the next idea
Gotta say you're in the know
Stand up and check your invitations
Sorry if I have to say, you'll never see me last this way
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope
Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope
You will never see me act this way
Must I always be the one to bleed?
The Planet Smashers' song "Struggle" is about a struggle for acceptance and belonging in a world that values conformity and trendiness. The lyrics are full of references to a game or competition in which the participants must always be aware of what's in fashion, what the "winning look" is for the year. The stakes are high, and there's no room for hesitation if you want to succeed. The song also touches on the idea of unity, suggesting that those who stand together and show love for one another are more likely to be accepted than those who try to push or shove their way in.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change," which suggests a sense of resignation or fatalism. The singer in the song seems to be aware that they don't fit in with the crowd, that they struggle to keep up with the latest trends and fashions, and that this is something they can't change about themselves. But they still hold onto the hope that they can find the courage to cope with their struggles and find a place where they belong.
Overall, "Struggle" is a song about the pressure to conform and the difficulty of finding acceptance in a world that values sameness and trendiness. It's a message of encouragement to those who feel like outsiders, urging them to hold onto their courage and continue struggling to find their place in the world.
