Get Up

This song means so much to me. The time it came into my life was perfect. I think it is pretty easy to understand what this song means, but songs can literally mean anything you want it to mean. I have imagined a different scene then what I think the lyrics are saying.

I picture a coliseum and a fight. Half of the people in the stands are people who support me and love me. The other half are positive thoughts I have about myself, nice things people said to me for support, and my heart. On the ground, is my body and soul fighting against my demons. The good news is I have support all in the stands, and I am not alone. The bad news is, I still have fears, doubts, and negative thoughts telling me I can't. My soul is smart and it listens to the crowd of support and love.

To me, this song is about fighting the good fight every moment. Meaning that we should fight for the good in every battle, no matter how small. For example, if I made a mistake at work, instead of blaming it on someone else and giving into the negative feelings and thoughts, take responsibility and make the situation right. It is kind of like that saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". Don't back down, fight for you! You might have a million thought telling you that you can't do that, that you aren't good enough, that you are worthless. Get up and fight through it! You got this!

Sometimes success is just getting out of bed. Sometimes the battle is in our heads, and that is mainly how I see this song's meaning. I think it is a battle from within.

Probably one of the best motivational songs out there. Fighting when you don't think you can fight anymore. The best.
