Falling In Reverse – The Westerner lyrics

Falling In Reverse – The Westerner lyrics

I was born one morning in December
On the coldest day
Abandoned by my mother
Whom my father I was raised
My father raised my brother and I
With a stubborn heart
My mother left me her good looks and confident charm
Well I spent most of my teenage years
Searching for her love
I could not find it anywhere
So I turned to drugs
And after all the smoke had cleared
And it was said and done
I found myself addicted by the age of 21

I tell the truth
I've been beaten
I've been bruised
I was left for dead as well
I was wrongfully accused
You left me locked inside a cell.

I've been cheated
I've been sued
But I have lived to tell
The more you kick me when I'm down
The more it truly helps.

I feel the madness creeping slowly
Loved by many I'm still lonely
Paid the price for your mistake
The music died the day I walked away.

No, I wont let you win!
Not this time my friend,
You know that I'm better in the end.

No, you wont take my pride!
I'll keep my head held high.
Cause I know that I'm better in the end.

Woaaah,
I know you're jealous
And you wish you could be me
I'm so smart and clever with my lyrics can't you see?
There's nobody better in this Music Industry!
And in case you think you are, go ahead, give me a ring!

Woaaah
I deserve a purple heart
From all my fucking wounds!
Lacerations to my ego,
Pride that I consume.

And in your final hours
When you are looking back
You'll find that I'm the best at what I do
And that's a fact.

No, I wont let you win!
Not this time my friend
You know that I'm better in the end.

No, you wont take my pride!
I'll keep my head held high.
Cause I know that I'm better in the end.
And all got to say
(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da,
Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)

Take it or leave it
But you best believe me it's true!
There's no mistaking, please stop thinking I'm through!
You know I'm better than you!

No, I wont let you win!
Not this time my friend
You know that I'm better In the end.

No, you wont take my pride!
I'll keep my head held high
Cause I know that I'm better in the end.
In the end.
(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da,
Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)

I find the meaning here very clear. Ronnie has been thorugh so much in his life, and yet, he managed to turn it all around. He was, he was kicked out of his band, addicted, and he's been to jail. To me, ronnie is a truly amazing person. After all he's been thorugh he was smart enough to realize that it was wrong. He went and got help, he got clean, and still is. Ronnie is my hero. This song has so much heart put into it. It is one of my favorite falling in reverse songs becuase of all the meaning behind it. It truly tells a story. The story of his life. And it is amazing. :] keep it up ronnie.

I think westerner is an amazing song. Honestly, I think this is about getting back athis family and at his old band escape the fate. I think he is trying to tell his story. My favorite part is when he says "i deserve a purple heart, from all my wounds! Lacerations to my ego, pride that i consume. " I think that kind of goes out to anyonhe, that anyone can say that, but ronnie radke has a right considering all the things people having been saying to him. But this sing is amazing and I listen to it all the time. The part where he insults his mother reminds me so much of me. I love you ronnie radke and you are 100% the best in the music industry!

Ronnie is talking about his childhood and growing up and being addicted to drugs "so i turned to drugs and after all the smoke had cleared and it was said and done i found myself addicted by the age of 21" its also about how he feels after getting out of jail. He lost everything from his band to his best friend. He also talks about the struggles of becoming clean and that even though a lot of people love him it isn't enough he still feels lonely.
Oh and I agree. Ronnie will always be better then craig. But craig is good too.
