Don't Give In
Snow Patrol Lyrics

Don't give in
Persist and do not surrender to obstacles or hardships.

Don't you dare quit so easy
Do not give up quickly or easily, even in the face of adversity.

Give all that you got on the sword
Put forth your best effort to overcome what is challenging you.

Don't say that you won't live forever
Do not give up hope or limit your potential by convincing yourself that you won't be around to see it through.

I know, I know
I am aware of the struggles you are facing and the internal dialogue you may be having.

It's in your blood
You have the inherent traits and qualities to overcome obstacles.

And it's in your making
Your experiences and decisions have molded you into a person equipped to handle challenges.

So don't hold your tongue
Do not be silent about your struggles, share them with others and seek support.

'Cause it's, it's no longer working
Keeping your feelings and struggles to yourself is not helping you progress, and you need to seek assistance.

Don't fall on your sword
Do not sacrifice yourself or your best interests to please others or avoid conflict.

Just follow your instinct
Trust your intuition and inner voice to guide you towards making the best decisions for yourself.

Like an old lesson learned
Like a learned experience, trust your instincts as they are informed by your experiences.

Only you know what it, what it is to see through
Only you understand and can navigate the issues you are facing personally.

See through the eyes that are trained on me now
Understand that others may be watching and learning from your example, even if you do not see it.

I can, I can only tell you how it, how it looks from here
Others can only provide perspective, but you are the one experiencing your struggles firsthand.

I think you've made up your mind
You have likely come to a decision about the direction you will take in the face of your challenges.

Yes there's a lot we can
Despite the challenges and losses, there is still much to learn and take away from the experience.

We can learn from this loss
Through our failures and difficult experiences, we can gain insight and improve ourselves.

Learn not to let it fall around our ears
Through adversity, we must learn to maintain control and not let the pressure overwhelm and defeat us.

Don't fall in love with the, with the way things were
Do not cling to what has passed, as it can distort our view of the present and future.

It'll fuck up your mind, it'll fuck up your mind
Holding on too tightly to the past can negatively impact our thinking and decision making.

But this is all on the wings of others
Our experiences and progress are partially shaped by the support and help of others.

But I loved you more
A personal reflection on how someone has been supportive and helpful through the difficult experience.

More in your own flight
The person being addressed has their own life to lead and experiences to have, separate from the struggles being faced together.

So it ain't the same
The shared experience is not the only part of their lives and they will continue separately.

It won't be lost forever
The progress and experience gained through adversity will persist beyond the immediate struggles.

This is your grace
An acknowledgement of the individual's ability to persevere and succeed in the face of challenges.

And I don't know why, and I don't know why
Expressions of wonder and admiration for the individual's endurance and strength.
