What makes me think that it'll all work out in the end
Afraid to feel bad, better off to try and pretend
I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong
Just keep on wishing, crossing my fingers so long
Is this helping, I'm growing weaker each day
Can't stop whining, still afraid of what I might say
Or reactions that control us one and all
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
So now I'm bleeding, on myself yes once again
Seems I trusted another deceitful friend,
My fault should've known the deal
Keep your friends close, but your enemy's closer for real
Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard
Trying to guess life's dealing what's the next card
I'm surely folding, I don't like this hand at all
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
Maybe things happen for a reason, and where in lies the answer
To overcome the grieving, of life's unruly lessons
I'm handed in succession, it builds my pain which makes me strong
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
And you will survive,
And I will survive,
And we will survive. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flaw/only_the_strong_survive_acoustic.html ]
To me this song is about the moments when you experience emotional pain through rejection, whether it be through self growth or a relationship. And then the self relization that the pains you have experience has made you into someone who is now stronger than those who have had the easy road in life. In a way this song is about converting those horrible life experiences into a solid concrete emotion state of self that is now able to not only handle the unecessary lucks of life but also grow from them
Never be the one for your own distruction... If you ever have a goal, dream, or love... And part of it doesn't happen the way it should, don't make yourself distruct because it will make your skin a little bit stronger...
