Magnet
Trik Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So sick of the politics
Appeasing others preferences
If I'm not under your control
Then I'm under your mercy

Feel like I'm a magnet
Attracting nothing but dead weight
If I dare speak the truth
Then I will be
Shut out

You smiling while you shake my hand
Giving looks of disgust when you turn away
I know that
Your real intentions
Are wishing
That I fail

I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid of who you know
No power trips
Your threats
Or what you hold above me

Break the rules of statistics
Defy any boundaries by taking risks
Only your inner faith
Can help you
Overcome

As they smile while they shake your hand
Giving looks of disgust when you turn away
You know that their real intentions
Are wishing
That you fail

Don't be afraid to fight
Don't be afraid of who they know
No power trips
Their threats
Or what they hold above you

I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid to die





Silence kills
