Who runs the show
Who runs the show
Who runs the show
Who runs the show who hands out the suspensions
I need a lesson in mishap prevention
Young boy who can’t hear must feel
A masochist you know the deal
I rarely listen, I forgot to mention
And I’m in need of a damn intervention
Young boy who can’t hear must feel
A masochist you know the deal
Pain is inevitable
Misery’s a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery’s a choice
Now I’m a product, that must turn a profit
Something to prove, I’m a god, I’m a prophet
Tryna be something that’s real
Comes at a price, that’s the deal
Against my better judgment
I agreed to something
To deep to turn back
I’ll deal with it in the afterlife
Young nigga done paid the price
Feels good to be nice
Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery’s a choice
What if tonight Lucifer comes for you
Turns out your light, your light
I hope, you’re right
Yeah
‘Cause nobody wants to be
I don’t wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby
Alone for life, life
Maybe a little bit
So long, sweet boy
Oh, fuck
Baby, look what they did to me, baby
You, will be missed
Look what they did to me. I used to be so sweet
Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss
Smiling all the time
So long sweet boy
You, you will be missed
I used to be a child
Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss
I just wanna be a child again
So, don’t pull the birds
I miss minor sense
I miss trusting people
I used to trust
Look what they did to me, baby
Confronting Pain and Choice
“Pain Is Inevitable” by Caesar and Daniel dives into the unavoidable hardships of life while challenging the listener to reflect on their response to suffering. The repeated line, “Pain is inevitable, misery’s a choice,” underscores the central theme: while pain is an inescapable part of the human experience, how we process and respond to it remains within our control. The lyrics trace a journey from youthful innocence to the harsh realities of adulthood, revealing the scars of betrayal, disillusionment, and growth. The song’s introspective verses, paired with vulnerable admissions about needing intervention and missing lost innocence, evoke a poignant narrative of resilience. The existential questioning and references to figures like Lucifer add a layer of spiritual and philosophical depth, making this track resonate with anyone grappling with change and loss.
