Lyrics To The Song 'Hall Of Fame'

Every chance that I get I play music, there has never been a day that I did not play music I don't know why, but music has always helped me calm down and focus at the task at hand. There is literally a song for every mood or feeling I might have. Throughout my years I have heard many songs that have caught my attention for a month or two but I always went back to one song, “Hall of Fame” by the Script. This song is legit the best song ever made because of the lyrics it contains. No matter what mood you are in, whether it be angry and happy, this song will please you. The lyrics to this song is so inspirational from start to finish. Whenever I put on this song I automatically feel ten times better.

Thought out my life I have been shy,

I was the kid that never spoke to anyone. This continued throughout my school year. In my freshman year of high school, my English teacher actually asked my mom if I understood English since he never heard me speak a word. Don't get me wrong, I was a smart kid, I just never talked to anyone except my parents and siblings. It was until I was fifteen when I actually started talking to my extended relatives as well. In my sophomore year of High School, I had a teacher that believed in having classroom debates. If I did not speak I would not pass the class. The experience was quite overwhelming, just imagine you spent your whole life mute and all of a sudden it is expected that every day you are to argue with your classmates for a good grade. Because of this pressure, I started having panic attacks every single day. It was keeping me from going to school. After I got diagnosed with panic disorder, I started receiving the correct treatment. Although it worked to keep my panic attacks from occurring every day I still had a problem with speaking.

Then one day I remembered this song and how I used to think it was so inspirational. So after hearing it ten thousand times and reading the words over and over, I began to feel better about speaking. The song is about taking matters into your own hands and not waiting for luck to help you, but you helping yourself. Its message is that as long as you dedicate yourself to what you are trying to achieve you can do everything that you doubt. Now I am going to be honest, listening to this song did not make me go to school ready to debate the next day. But instead, it made me realize I got nothing to lose by talking, talking can lead me to greatness, and in this case a passing grade. So little by little, I listen to this song and one day I sat with my family and spoke. I did it again and again and again. Until one day I heard my aunt tell my mom, “Wow, Michelle is actually talking to us now.” And everyone agreed and was so amazed. You probably can't even imagine how that felt, I, a girl who has never spoken more than a sentence was now talking.

The next step was speaking in school. The song says to do what you got to do for yourself. On one random day, I just decided today was the day and raised my hand to said a sentence! My heart was beating as fast as a hummingbird but I just broke my biggest fear that was holding me back. After that, I got comfortable with talking and three years later here I am actually talking to people. This song has helped me challenge what I thought was impossible, talking to people. Without this song being there to motivate me through the tough time I went through; I would probably be the same mute girl I was before. To this day I still go back to music. Whenever I need that extra motivation I play this song and remember all I have accomplished through it.
