Basically interpreting this song to fit Lance and his situation. In this he is taking about Kuron, Shiro's clone. I honestly don't know what to call this.


Can see it from the way you looking at me.                                                                     You don't think I'm worth your time

I see the way you look at me. Always distrustful and doubting. Don't you know that I've started training every night? I can become worth it.

Don't care about the person that I might be
Offended that I walk the line


I am a human being. I can't take this constant discrimination. I am the red paladin of Voltron. I'm the sharpshooter. But you see me only as a piece of shit.

So what if I'm not
So what if I'm not everything you wanted me to be?


So what. I'm not Kieth, our expert swordsman. I can't fix things like Pidge and Hunk. I don't power the castle like Allura. I'm no leader, like you. I know. I can't be the person you expect me to be.

So what if I am
So what if I am more than you can see?


But I'm Lance McClain. I'm the team's sharpshooter. I may not be on the front lines, but I still fight. I'm the one who has your backs. I have talents that you are blind to. 

When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
It's pushin' me harder, it's pushin' me harder
When you breakin' my back, when you breakin' my back
I only get stronger, I only get stronger


When you shout at me, yell, humiliate me, I go back to my room stronger. The anger you cause is my adrenaline and fuel. Tearing down the bots and drones, I'm getting stronger. When you're breathing down my neck, it takes all I have to    stay calm. 

I should've walked away one year ago
When you said I wouldn't make it out alive
When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
I only get stronger, I only get stronger
When you treat me like that


I should have  made a stand when you came back. I should have showed you I am strong, not being your doll. You treat me like a disappointment. Little do they know, I've passed everyone' training high scores. 

As far as I can tell, it's kinda crazy
That you even care at all


You bark at me, telling me off. Sometimes I find it crazy that you care if I'm even there. It's not like I mean anything to you.

Convincing everybody you can save me
But you're the one who made me fall


When the team sees my dark bags and wounds, what do you do? You pretend to act concerned about me. As if! You lead me away, promising to help me. Little do they realize, you're the one who made me this. A shell of myself.

So what if I'm not
So what if I'm not everything you wanted me to be?


So what. So what if I can't satisfy your expectations. I'm trying to pick up the pieces, and here you are causing me to fall.

So what if I am
So what if I am more than you can see?


Because of your badgering, I've grown. I'm stronger than ever. I'm agile and fast. You don't see me being reckless. I'm selfless, service before self. And I've always been.

When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
It's pushin' me harder, it's pushin' me harder
When you breakin' my back, when you breakin' my back
I only get stronger, I only get stronger


Push me, beyond my limits. And I'll expand my abilities. When you point out a flaw, never again do you see it. I don't cry. Never will anyone see me weak.

I should've walked away one year ago
When you said I wouldn't make it out alive
When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
I only get stronger, I only get stronger
When you treat me like that


I should have never seek to please. I'm my own person, but I'm no longer human. I've unlocked the Altean broadsword, scythe, whip and pistol on my bayard. And you don't think I'm strong?

Why you wanna see me bleed?
Why you wanna watch me fall apart?


Why do you want to see me fail? Why do you want to widen my cracks? Once glass breaks, there's no fixing it. At least, never gonna be  the same again.

Try to find the worst in me
But I won't follow you into the dark


You have the eye of a hawk to find out my mistakes. But blind to my achievements. I won't let you break me further.

When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that
It's pushin' me harder, it's pushin' me harder
When you breakin' my back, when you breakin' my back
I only get stronger, I only get stronger


See the way I look at you when you discriminate me? Nothing. I don't care anymore. My resolve is rock hard. 

I should've walked away one year ago
When you said I wouldn't make it out alive
When you treat me like that, when you treat me like that


If there's anything you did good for me, you made me a soldier. But in doing so, I  lost myself in a forest of negativity. And I'm still fighting to escape.

I only get stronger, I only get stronger
When you treat me like that


Treat me like shit? Make me a soldier. But I won't let you dim what makes me a human being. I am not a robot, and I will not be your puppet. I've cut the strings. I'm a human being who is kind and funny. I'm a good friend and trustworthy. I seek peace and acceptance. I'm full of flaws, but that's what makes me me. I will never let you dim the light of Lance McClain. I won't let you ruin me.

...

So... that was the shittiest thing ever written. I didn't have any ideas. I'm sure you'll see more of this when I have writers block. I'm so sorry.

 Also. GO LANCE!
