I've taken to leaning these past few days A little too heavy on my walking cane Cause I'm afraid she's swinging my way That wrecking ball [Verse 1] Now with all my ducks in a row With one pull I could let them go Not to lose, just to show I could catch them all But every man bears a burden His own beast by the horns That he hides from the world When he's young and strong Looking over his shoulders Half tattered and torn Still standing tall [Chorus 2] But every year rolls on like a runaway train Every beast grows stronger as the pendulum swings To and fro, and on she goes That wrecking ball [Verse 2] I've just seen that rock of ages I've just held my savior's hand We danced on the water With my head on her shoulders She swore to never let me fall [Chorus 3] And wouldn't time seem so kindly If every bright eyed girl could be more like you And shelter me me From that wrecking ball That wrecking ball
Every man has their own "wrecking ball" I suppose... One day your young and strong, still standing tall. But that beast indeed does grow stronger with every pendulum swing. Next thing you know you've been hit by that runaway train and you're leaning a little too heavy on that walking cane. Well said. Great sound too guys. I want to hear more!
Lyrics (PT - BR) Eu comecei a me inclinar nos últimos dias Um pouco pesado demais na minha bengala Porque eu tenho medo que ela esteja balançando na minha direção Aquela bola de demolição [Verso 1] Agora com todos os meus patos em uma fileira Com um puxão eu poderia deixá-los ir Para não perder, apenas para mostrar Eu poderia pegar todos eles Mas todo homem carrega um fardo Sua própria besta pelos chifres Que ele esconde do mundo Quando ele é jovem e forte Olhando por cima dos ombros Meio esfarrapado e rasgado Ainda de pé [Refrão 2] Mas todo ano passa como um trem desgovernado Cada besta fica mais forte conforme o pêndulo balança Para lá e para cá, e ela vai Aquela bola de demolição [Verso 2] Eu acabei de ver aquela pedra há séculos Eu acabei de segurar a mão do meu salvador Dançamos na água Com minha cabeça em seus ombros Ela jurou nunca me deixar cair [Refrão 3] E o tempo não pareceria tão gentil Se toda garota de olhos brilhantes pudesse ser mais como você E me abrigue eu Daquela bola de demolição Aquela bola de demolição
I'm not sure what the Author's had in mind, but to me the "Wrecking ball" sounds like sexual desire that can destroy your life. It's a beast/burden men have that they hide from the world. But he found a loving relationship with a good woman who can satisfy his desire in a healthy and pure way. That's how she saves/shelters him from the wrecking ball.

My Dad passed away this week. This song has helped me/blessed me with courage and commitment to keep moving on. I'll miss you Ole Man ✨
I hope you're doing well, my friend.
I've taken to leaning these past few days
A little too heavy on my walking cane
Cause I'm afraid she's swinging my way
That wrecking ball
[Verse 1]
Now with all my ducks in a row
With one pull I could let them go
Not to lose, just to show
I could catch them all
But every man bears a burden
His own beast by the horns
That he hides from the world
When he's young and strong
Looking over his shoulders
Half tattered and torn
Still standing tall
[Chorus 2]
But every year rolls on like a runaway train
Every beast grows stronger as the pendulum swings
To and fro, and on she goes
That wrecking ball
[Verse 2]
I've just seen that rock of ages
I've just held my savior's hand
We danced on the water
With my head on her shoulders
She swore to never let me fall
[Chorus 3]
And wouldn't time seem so kindly
If every bright eyed girl could be more like you
And shelter me me
From that wrecking ball
That wrecking ball

Every man has their own "wrecking ball" I suppose...
One day your young and strong, still standing tall.
But that beast indeed does grow stronger with every pendulum swing.
Next thing you know you've been hit by that runaway train and you're leaning a little too heavy on that walking cane.
Well said.

Lyrics (PT - BR)
Eu comecei a me inclinar nos últimos dias
Um pouco pesado demais na minha bengala
Porque eu tenho medo que ela esteja balançando na minha direção
Aquela bola de demolição
[Verso 1]
Agora com todos os meus patos em uma fileira
Com um puxão eu poderia deixá-los ir
Para não perder, apenas para mostrar
Eu poderia pegar todos eles
Mas todo homem carrega um fardo
Sua própria besta pelos chifres
Que ele esconde do mundo
Quando ele é jovem e forte
Olhando por cima dos ombros
Meio esfarrapado e rasgado
Ainda de pé
[Refrão 2]
Mas todo ano passa como um trem desgovernado
Cada besta fica mais forte conforme o pêndulo balança
Para lá e para cá, e ela vai
Aquela bola de demolição
[Verso 2]
Eu acabei de ver aquela pedra há séculos
Eu acabei de segurar a mão do meu salvador
Dançamos na água
Com minha cabeça em seus ombros
Ela jurou nunca me deixar cair
[Refrão 3]
E o tempo não pareceria tão gentil
Se toda garota de olhos brilhantes pudesse ser mais como você
E me abrigue eu
Daquela bola de demolição
Aquela bola de demolição
