“I finally found myself. Fighting for a chance.”
I don’t know how much someone can fully understand how hard it can be to battle the demons within your own head, but this song nails it. From the first “what if I wanted to break” to the last “I am finished with you” the internal struggle for some of us is a lifelong battle. We talk about the mental health crisis going on these days and I’m not gonna get into the cause, but the effect is that we talk about these things much more openly than we ever have in my lifetime and to me that is a good thing. I wish we had been more open to these conversations a long time ago, maybe I wouldn’t have had to struggle so much. I have tried to be as open as I can with Larry and the boys, sometimes I have failed miserably, but somewhere I find the strength to continue to tell them my story. Most importantly I find the strength (with Larry at my side) to keep fighting for a chance.
Larry’s Perspective:
Just waiting to read Shannon's thoughts. Great song, great vocal range. I just watched the video for the first time and all I could think about was the movie Ready Player One, who stole bits from The Shining., which obviously 30 Seconds to Mars did as well. I love the 1920's vibe.
I'm trying to interpret the lyrics. For the most part, it seems like a struggle with ones own self (as somewhat depicted in the video). But I can also see where it's a personal challenge to someone close to you.
