Behind The Lyrics

This song is about the stress of growing up. The stress of working a dead end job my whole life. The stress of never fulfilling what it is I want to do with my life.
 
This song definitely has some built up teenage angst in it lol but I also know I can't blame all my failures on everyone else. I have to hold myself accountable and stop making excuses. If there's something I want, I need to take full accountability and push myself to get what I want. There’s no handouts, people aren't always going to want the best for me. It’s up to me to decide what it is I want, and up to me to go out and do whatever it takes to get it. So I guess the moral of this song is I cant keep blaming things on other people. No one can fix the upsets in my life but myself. This world will chew you up and spit you out with no remorse. This song is about sticking up for yourself and going for whatever it is you want out of life. If there’s one thing I've learned it’s that no one is going to care more about my goals than myself. Have Mercy
 
I also love mentioning some of my favorite bands in songs I write. These artists truly changed my life and I wouldn't be who I am without those bands. This song is inspired by another one of my favorite albums. The Earth Pushed Back by Have Mercy.
