Glorious (feat. Skylar Grey)

You know I'm back like I never left
Another sprint, another step
Another day, another breath
Been chasing dreams, but I never slept
I got a new attitude and a lease on life
And some peace of mind
Seek and I find I can sleep when I die
Wanna piece of the pie, grab the keys to the ride
And shit I'm straight
I'm on my wave, I'm on my wave
Get out my wake, I'm running late, what can I say?
I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave
And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name
So when I leave here on this earth, did I take more than I gave?
Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame?
Legend it's exodus searching for euphoria
Trudging through the mud to find the present, no ignoring us
Got 20, 000 deep off in the street like we some warriors
My mama told me: Never bow your head, woo!

I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

I'm feeling glorious
The crib looking Victorian (oh yes it is)
You know that we been going in
Since we hopped out that Delorean (Delorean, yeah we win)
En garde, things are just things
They don't make you who you are
Can't pack up a U-Haul and take it with you when you're gone
We posted on the porch, my family's glasses to the stars
My grandma smiling down on me like woo, that boy got bars
Okay, okay, yes I do
I said amen and hallelujah, let me testify too
Another morning, a morning, don't let self get in my way
I got my breath, I got my faith and I remember why I came

I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

We gon' be alright, put that on my life
When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine
We're planting a flag they don't understand
The world is up for grabs
We gon' be alright, put that on my life
When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine
We're planting a flag they don't understand
The world is up for grabs

I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

Renascimento e Triunfo: A Mensagem Inspiradora de Glorious

A música 'Glorious', uma colaboração entre Macklemore & Ryan Lewis e a cantora Skylar Grey, é um hino de superação e renovação pessoal. A letra fala sobre a resiliência e a capacidade de recomeçar, mesmo após períodos de dificuldade. Macklemore, conhecido por suas letras introspectivas e pessoais, utiliza a música para transmitir uma mensagem de esperança e determinação, incentivando os ouvintes a perseguirem seus sonhos e a se levantarem após cada queda.

A canção começa com uma reflexão sobre a persistência e a importância de continuar lutando ('Another sprint, another step'). O rapper fala sobre a busca incessante por seus sonhos ('Been chasing dreams, but I never slept') e a consciência de que a vida é curta e deve ser vivida intensamente ('I can sleep when I die'). A ideia de deixar um legado é central na música, com Macklemore questionando se ele fez mais do que apenas buscar a fama ('Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame?').

O refrão, cantado por Skylar Grey, é um momento de celebração e reconhecimento de que, apesar dos desafios enfrentados ('I made it through the darkest part of the night'), há sempre uma nova oportunidade para recomeçar ('Got a chance to start again'). A música transmite uma sensação de triunfo e gratidão, com a certeza de que, independentemente dos obstáculos, é possível se sentir 'glorious' (glorioso). A mensagem é universal e atemporal, ressoando com qualquer um que já tenha enfrentado adversidades e encontrado forças para seguir em frente.
