Liner Notes

#lyricsonly #skirmish This is only in a poem-ish form right now. Not quite lyrics yet, but a start.

Lyrics

The world is immersed in what didn’t happen
Or maybe worse, what did
Got you booed off the big stage
They’re only glaring through a doubtful lens

They focus on only what’s broken
They call you washed up, should retire
Repeating what slipped through your fingertips
That you're not the magic show you once were

They forget to remember all you’ve done
They ignore how far you've come
The achievements of your past seem to fade
And the records you shattered slip away

But remember, their noise means nothing
It’s about reinventing yourself
The journey is far from over
You won’t let the fire burn out

What hurts is temporary
It’s getting you ready
This moment is shaping who you are
Greatness is waiting in your future

We see you
The yards you've traveled
All the pain you’ve pushed through
And we believe in you

We see you
In every stride you’ve made
In every challenge you’ve faced
with the ones by your side
And we believe in you

These words resonated with me. Sometimes it feels like people around you are focused on what you don’t have or haven’t accomplished. Having supportive voices reminding you of all you’ve accomplished makes all the difference. The line “they forget to remember all you’ve done” stood out to me.

"But remember, their noise means nothing

I think I needed to hear that. It's clearly personal, but it's a relatable bit of encouragement, too.
