In My Shoes
Steve Acho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been through dark times but still see the beauty of it all
I've had the stars and planets all aligned
Sometimes you win sometimes you get taken for a ride but
I won't apologize, no, that would be my demise
I stand here and recognize I've paid my dues
I'm growing to be more comfortable in my shoes
Lived long enough to have some enemies But a jury of my peers would say that they loved me
I don't always seem to have the perfect words
And if I say the wrong thing then I'm sure to be heard but
Even monkeys fall from trees
You can't preach courage from your knees,
I'm standing my ground even if I lose
I'm growing to be more comfortable in my shoes
And isn't it a shame that so many think the same
My luck is down the river's low
I can't stay here there's some place else I've got to go
To find me
I shifted forward just to fall right back
But learned to see abundance where others only see lack
You play that win or lose where some are slighted
There are ways to play the game so that everyone's invited
But I follow what the wisest say
I can't please them all anyway
I co-create the destiny I choose
I'm growing to be more comfortable
I'm growing to be more comfortable
I'm growing to be comfortable in my shoes
In Steve Acho's song "In My Shoes", the singer reflects on the ups and downs of life, highlighting his resilience and growth. He starts by acknowledging that he has seen both good and bad times, but despite the dark moments, he still appreciates life's beauty. He recognizes that life can be unpredictable - at times, you win, and at other times, you take a loss. Regardless, the singer refuses to apologize for his experiences because he believes that doing so would only bring him down. He has come to terms with the fact that he has paid his dues and has grown more comfortable in his own skin as a result.
Throughout the lyrics, the singer touches on his imperfections and mistakes, admitting that he doesn't have all the right words but learning to accept that no matter what he says, someone will always criticize him. However, he maintains that it's essential to stand your ground even if you lose, which is a common metaphor for falling down and then getting back up again. The singer emphasizes that taking risks and facing your fears is vital for personal growth, and even though you may stumble, you'll eventually find yourself. He learned to see abundance where others only see lack and play the game of life in a way that is inclusive to everyone.
Additionally, the song talks about the idea that one cannot please everyone, but it's important to follow what the wisest have to say. As the lyrics conclude, the singer declares his resolve to keep growing and becoming more comfortable in his shoes, suggesting that life is an ongoing journey, and he will keep walking his path.
