Been a lurker here for who knows how long and was feeling a bit inspirational today so I thought I'd finally share something. I heard this song in a dream. In the dream I was watching a video. The video was a Britney Spears video (who I feel neither this or that way about) and was being billed as controversial because it was a long form video about the length of a movie that would feature every track from the album.
Background out of the way, I liked the song and its message. The video was very dramatic, very dark, but had that sense of hope at the end. Also Britney could actually sing...and well. So here's my little contribution to "The Shack".
Struggle Through
(Performed by Britney Spears)
(Styling: -Everyday Is Exactly The Same (NIN)
1st Verse
Had this crazy dream last night.
I was looking through my childrens eyes.
At the woman they loved and praised.
They seemed not to know her these days.
Something seemed wrong.
This wasnt right.
I understood now I wasnt in their lives.
She mustve hated us. She mustve not cared.
Thats when I awoke with such great despair.
Bridge
Oh my god I never stopped to think
Never settled to let things sink
Parents raised me better, I was starting to slack.
Got to turn around. Got to find my way back
Chorus
But what am I sposed to say?
(Cant take back the things Ive said and done)
Should I give up and walk away?
(Watching all my hopes and dreams get left so far behind me)
I think that Ill stay and fight
(Biggest one Ive ever had before)
Tonight has got to be the night. I make my stand.
Ill struggle through.
2nd Verse
Gonna point, theyre gonna laugh.
Would rather toss me in the trash.
Cant let these thoughts get me down.
Let it be my fuel for a rebound.
Im gonna struggle through this night.
Until I see the suns bright light.
Know what Im doing is whats true.
Push me down, Im back up. Ill beat you.
Bridge
Still dont believe I never stopped to think
Too busy humpin, jumpin, dacin movin my feet.
Dont be so vain to think this song is just about you.
Not going to let this nightmare become the truth.
Chorus
Tell me what am I sposed to say?
(Cant take back the things Ive said and done)
Should I give up and walk away?
(Watching all my hopes and dreams get left so far behind me)
I think that Ill stay and fight
(Biggest one Ive ever had before)
Tonight is going to be the night. I make my stand.
And Ill struggle through.
Bridge (Spoken)
Dear god, please forgive me.
For all the sins of the past.
Give me strength for what I must do.
Im ready now. Ill struggle through.
Chorus
But what am I sposed to say?
(Cant take back the things Ive said and done)
Should I give up and walk away?
(Watching all my hopes and dreams get left so far behind me)
I think that Ill stay and fight
(Biggest one Ive ever had before)
Tonight has got to be the night. I make my stand.
Ill struggle through.
Tell me what am I sposed to say?
(Cant take back the things Ive said and done)
Should I give up and walk away?
(Watching all my hopes and dreams get left so far behind me)
I think that Ill stay and fight
(Biggest one Ive ever had before)
Tonight is going to be the night. I make my stand.
And Ill struggle through.
