When The World Knocks Me Down is a track that relates to the ego. The song is laden in a minor tonality to give it a dark edge. It uses a more minimalist production approach when compared to previous tracks in order to enhance the moody atmosphere.
lyrics
This world is dark, splattered in the gray. The choices we’ve made had consequences. Though I’ve never felt the same. And a dream I don’t deserve appears before me, before me, But I choose to chase it anyway, Cause that’s what I love to do: Cause when the world knocks me down, I’ll get up again. Cause when the world knocks me down, I’ll pick up a glass and drink it. When the world knocks me down, I’ll get up again. When the world knocks me down, I’ll pick up a glass and drink it. I want to restore, the faith I had in myself, So that when the world gets black, I can lighten things for someone else. And a dream I don’t deserve appears before me, before me, But I choose to chase it anyway, Cause that’s what I love to do: Cause when the world knocks me down, I’ll get up again. When the world knocks me down, I’ll pick up a glass and drink it. When the world knocks me down, I’ll get up again. When the world knocks me down, I’ll pick up a glass and drink it. When the world knocks me down, I’ll get up again. When the world knocks me down, I’ll pick up a glass and drink it. Oh, I’m on my own, got no one to my name, I’m on my own. I’m on my own, I’m on my own. I’m knocking the World, I’m on my own, I’m on my own, I’m on my own. I’m knocking the World, I’m on my own
