Relentless Determination and Perseverance

The song “Sleep When I’m Dead” is an anthem for those of us who have bold visions, think outside of normal paradigms, and want to keep learning and forging ahead every day. Autumn Kings nailed it on the head with this song. As a person who often uses the idiom of not sleeping till I am dead, this song really resonates with me. Allow me to share some of my favorite phrases from the song:

  • “They counted me out”
  • “They told me to stop”
  • “Everyone’s talking; Addicted to gossip; But I can’t be bothered”
  • “I will not bow; I will not break”
  • “They tell me that I’m in over my head”
  • “But I can’t be tamed”

I love this song! I love this group! Earlier I described this song as an anthem. What did I mean? The attitude of this song is one of never giving up, not worrying about what others say, and constantly striving for our own next steps, making this song an anthem of determination and forging ahead. The song signifies a mindset of relentless determination and perseverance. It suggests that we need to be so focused on our goals and passions that we are willing to sacrifice rest and comfort in order to achieve them. It embodies a spirit of resilience and drive to keep pushing forward despite any obstacles or challenges that may come our way.
