For this assignment I chose the song Believer by Imagine dragons. These lyrics made me think about what shaped my life. I never thought about these lyrics until I looked at them. These lyrics are talking about pain and suffering and how they shaped his life. These are some of the things that have shaped my life.
One of the things that has shaped my life is all my tooth drama. Once when i was like 5 i had a tooth removed because it was blocking my front teeth from coming in. Another time was when I was 8 I chipped my tooth for the first time. that led to a root canal because it was infected. Then, when I was 10, I chipped my tooth for the third time. Last week I got a tooth removed because it was growing up to my sinuses. This also led to an infection in my palet, which had to be lanced to get rid of the infection. Now I'm on antibiotics. Just like in the lyrics when he was talking about pain shaping his life, my tooth pain has shaped my life. It has made me stronger and given me more courage.
Another thing that has shaped my life is how much I am outside and climbing. Once, when I was 9, I climbed 6 pitches in a hail storm. We were about halfway through when it started raining. Then, when we were on the second to last pitch it started hailing. My foot got stuck on the last pitch when I was climbing up the crack and it was hard to get out. At that time, my dad was running up the side of the mountain to help us because he saw the storm and we weren’t climbing with any parents. Near the top of the climb, we saw lightning strike all around us. This has made me a better climber because it is hard to climb on wet granite.
Biking has also shaped my life because me and my friend built a bike park when Covid started. I got to go over there 2-3 times a week. During Covid, I didn’t really get to see any friends so this was how I could see my friends and stay active. This made me realize how much I need activities with a friend. It has also made me a really good biker and has brought me closer to this friend.
The song believer is about believing in yourself and how some things can shape your life. And looking at the lyrics made me think about what shaped my life.The things that have shaped my life are climbing,biking,and,all my tooth drama. All these things made me stronger and more brave.
Believer
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the…
(Chorus)
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
First things first
Can you imagine what's about to happen?
It's Weezy the Dragon, I link with the Dragons
And we gon' get ratchet, no need for imaginin'
This is what's happenin'
Second thing second, I reckon immaculate
Sound about accurate
I know that strength, it don't come, don't come without strategy
I know the sweet, it don't come without cavities
I know the passages come with some traffic
I start with from the basement, end up in the attic
And third thing third
Whoever call me out, they simply can't count
Let's get mathematic, I'm up in this, huh
Is you a believer?
I get a unicorn out of a zebra
I wear my uniform like a tuxedo
This dragon don't hold his breath, don't need no breather
Love you Ms. Cita, the son of a leader
I know the bloomin' don't come without rain
I know the losin' don't come without shame
I know the beauty don't come without hurt
Hol' up, hol' up, last thing last
I know that Tunechi don't come without Wayne
I know that losin' don't come without game
I know that glory don't come without...
Don't come without...
Chorus
Last things last
By the grace of fire and flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Chorus
