Fate
Troy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up high the stars align it's energies
Ready to appease the right of wrongs
Ain't it easier to let it be?
Than to cut against the grain
That worked for so long so long

I know fate and she told me
Bless you child but you'll be nobody
I know fate and she sure don't like me
I won't do what I'm told even
When she takes my soul

We take the road of least resistance
No need to upset the general flow
You're happy with a sane, a sane еxistence
Than to fight for something morе
Than what we know oh lord

I know fate and she told me
Bless you child but you'll be nobody
I know fate and she sure don't like me
I won't do what I'm told even
When she takes my soul

When she takes my soul oh lord

I know fate and she told me
Bless you child but you'll be nobody
I know fate and she sure don't like me
I won't do what I'm told even
When she takes my soul

I know fate and she she told me
Bless you child but you'll be nobody
I know fate and she sure don't like me




I won't do what I'm told even
When she takes my soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Troy's song "Fate" delve into the concept of destiny and the struggle against pre-determined paths. The opening verse speaks to the alignment of cosmic energies and the idea of fate being ready to resolve the balance between right and wrong. The question posed - "Ain't it easier to let it be?" - suggests the temptation to simply go with the flow rather than go against the established norms and habits that have been ingrained for a long time. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance in the face of fate's inevitability.


The singer acknowledges their awareness of fate, personified as a she who has foretold their future as being insignificant - "Bless you child but you'll be nobody." Despite this prophecy, there is a defiant spirit within the singer as they declare their refusal to conform to fate's plans, even if it means their soul is claimed in the process. This defiance against being dictated to by fate reflects a rebellious streak and a desire for autonomy over their own life.


The chorus emphasizes the idea of taking the path of least resistance and not disrupting the natural flow of life. The comfort found in a stable and "sane" existence is contrasted with the idea of challenging the status quo and striving for more than what is currently known. The repeated mention of fate's disapproval towards the singer reinforces the idea of a constant struggle against a force that seeks to limit their potential and destiny.


The repetition of the final chorus drives home the singer's refusal to bend to the will of fate, even as it promises to take their soul. The plea to the lord at the end of the bridge adds a spiritual aspect to the narrative, highlighting the internal conflict between accepting a predetermined fate and fighting against it. Overall, the lyrics of "Fate" by Troy paint a picture of a defiant individual grappling with the forces of destiny and striving to carve their own path, even in the face of overwhelming odds and prophecy.
