I was looking up music videos from favorite bands that I haven’t checked out lately hoping to find some new ones and I came across this one in particular that really stood out. It reminded me of myself at times in my life and it’s reminded me of a few of my friends as of lately. While lately I’ve been kinda following the message of the song, it still provides me with a little inspiration to keep working hard at what I’ve been doing and it’ll all pay off.

Unfortunately I can’t find the lyrics to the song anywhere online…I’ve been searching, but it’s fairly easy to understand. I just don’t have the time to sit here transcribing it. Not to mention I’m a perfectionist and there’s a couple lines in Piper’s rap that I just can’t quite nail (I DID try to transcribe it).

The general meaning I’m getting from it though…

It’s about you having a friend/loved one who’s been knocked down/lost their way…and it’s about you being there to help them back on their feet and support them while they’re weak and confused. It’s about you helping them to see whats in front of them and it’s also about THEM staying focused on their dreams, never wavering, never letting them go, and always pursuing them. If they keep those dreams, stay focused on those dreams, and continue striving to accomplish them, it may take time, but they WILL accomplish them. They just just need to believe in themselves. And if they start to lose faith, that’s what you’re there for…to help keep them focused on the end goal. You’re just a phonecall away and you’ll be right back at their side helping to guide them where they need to be.

So this message goes out to my friends who are currently lost and don’t know what to do…I know sometimes I say I’m done being the nice guy, done being an advice guy, done getting walked all over when someone uses me for help and then never speaks to me again once they’re back on their feet, but seriously, look at who I am. You know it, I know it…everybody knows it…I’ll never quit. This is who I am. I’m always here to offer you a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand to catch you, when you’re falling back down, and the voice of reason when you feel like giving up. Listen to the song…feel the inspiration…and focus on what you want to do in life. And if you can’t, I’m just a phone call/text message away.
