[Intro]
Haha
Woo
[Verse 1]
Hey God, I'll be the jester
Entertain ya to the best of
My ability, when I suffer, no
Fragility when I enter
Came here for a reason, ah-ah
So stop complaining
All have offseasons, ah-ah
It's not just a joke or a lesson to live through
Every which way and second is a breakthrough
[Chorus]
I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
So I'd rather be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned
[Verse 2]
I'm not to be forgottеn
Drop your books when I walk in
Magic talks without talking
I make the most bеfore the coffin
Born to be desiring, ah-ah
Gotta learn, yeah, eyes are always on the next goal
But space isn't there to always be filled up
It's the quiet, the downtime to breathe in my lungs
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
So I beg to be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Test me, I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
And I beg to be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
And I beg to be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads upon pillows of all they have learned
[Outro]
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah (Give me an A-plus if I'm doing this thing right)
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
And I'd rather be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned

“Test Me” is a song about accepting the challenges of life as tests from the universe that build strength and wisdom. It is also about understanding that your experiences in life/school teach you more than the actual classes themself. (Strength Energy)

“Test Me” is philosophical in its approach. What it centers on is the idea that there are various challenges or tests which life throws our way. And whereas such experiences may cause suffering, they also make us stronger and wiser in the process. Moreover, in relation to the overall school-themed m...
