Song Meaning of “Struggling” by Skellington
“Struggling” by Skellington is a song about feeling trapped and overwhelmed by our own struggles. It speaks to the experience of feeling like life is dragging us down, and that each day is a fight. The narrator is determined to never give in and they are determined to keep going despite the hardships.
The hook of the song is powerful as it is a reminder to stay strong and to never give up:
“But I’m struggling for another day, fightin’ to keep my head up, I’m struggling, won’t stop comin’ till you see the sun”.
The instrumental and the emotions of the track are intense and almost hauntingly beautiful, reflecting the deep emotion that one can feel when struggling. In the middle of the song, the heavy rock sound from the guitar fades away and a haunting string section takes over as the narrator states “still chasin’ for something more, with no answer to be found.”
This song ultimately serves as a tribute to everyone who is fighting their battles and never giving in. It is a reminder and an empowering song that can speak to anyone who ever looks back at hard times and knows that despite the struggle, they will keep pushing forward.
