Built to Last
Six Gallery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Six Gallery's song Built to Last talks about the struggle to maintain composure and taking responsibility for one's life. The idea of pausing to repeat indicates the artist is reflecting on their actions to ensure they are making the right decisions. Losing sleep over the choices one has made, cutting one's teeth during the learning process is a common experience in life. The line "No big surprise, bat eyes that's nice you're past past prime" may indicate the artist is addressing someone who has reached an age where they are supposed to have it all together but still doesn't. It could also mean that the person is well aware of their flaws but still chooses not to change them.
The line "Fold your knife, some get it wrong, stand by and smile for you to appease side by side" could mean a few different things. It could indicate the artist is telling someone to fold their knife, or to conceal their flaws. At the same time, people are often wrong about things in life, and standing by and smiling to please someone else is not the way they want to live once they become built to last. This section of lyrics confirms the idea of pausing, repeating, and taking responsibility for one's life, so they can move forward with their flaws and all.
Overall, Built to Last is a song that speaks to a deep internal struggle for growth and change, empowering the listener to reflect on their life and strive for improvement. The artist suggests that to be built to last, one must take ownership of their life, learn from their mistakes, and progress forward even if the road isn't always straight.
