Andrew
Third Estate Lyrics

The lyrics to Third Estate's song "Andrew" delve into the themes of determination and resilience. The opening lines, "Every time I hit the ground, it makes the same familiar sound," suggest that the singer has faced defeat or failure before, and that it has become a part of their journey. The following line, "Every time that I get it right, it never felt so wrong in all my life," implies a sense of dissonance or discomfort with success, perhaps due to the expectation of failure.

The second verse of the song, "I know it's not a race, but I am still in second place," speaks to the idea of not quite reaching one's goals or aspirations, despite putting in the effort. The line, "never to recover, and I'm never thinking twice," suggests a sense of determination to keep going despite obstacles, but also a resignation that success may never come. The repeated line, "after all that's happened I'll run right 'till the end," reinforces this idea of a steadfast commitment to keep going, even in the face of difficulty.

The bridge of the song takes a slightly different direction, shifting from determination to self-doubt. The lines, "a simple fickle point of view that always seems to look askew, and I don't know if what I feel is wrong even though it feels so true," suggest a sense of confusion or uncertainty about one's own perspective or emotions. The following line, "everything about me looks so scary when you tell me that I crack, cause I'm never looking back," implies a fear of judgment or criticism, but also a refusal to be deterred. The final line, "there's always one more day to wait," suggests a sense of hope and resilience, even in the face of uncertainty.
