The recurring idea in “9 Lives” is the relationship between vulnerability and strength. Asa does not pretend to be invincible. She acknowledges pain, acknowledges failures, and acknowledges how people sometimes misunderstand or judge you.
But instead of letting those experiences harden her heart, she transforms them into growth. The song becomes a journey through hurt, into healing, and finally into empowerment. Every chorus reaffirms the same truth: survival is not about never falling, it’s about refusing to stay down.

How many days can I wait
How many more can I take
In this hell on earth
From those who I serve
Mama says It won't be long
You just have to be strong
No one understands
No one really cares
I'm screaming
Hoping you'll hear me now now now now
I'm sinking someone come pull me out out out
I'm the one with nine lives
You only killed me three times
No surrender no backing down
No no more tears stuck in my eyes
Watch me go all over the world
I'm the star burning bright
Watch me go all over the world
The one you see up in the sky
Can you see me now
Hey hey
You can never catch me now
Hey hey
Can you hear me now
Hey hey
You can never reach me now
Hey hey
To the boy on the street
Waging war from within
To the girl who refuses
To be someone who he abuses
I'm screaming hoping you'll hear me now now now now
I'm sinking, someone come pull me out out out
I'm the one with nine lives
You only killed me three times
No surrender no backing down
No no more tear stuck in my eyes
Watch me go all over the world
I'm the star burning bright
Watch me go all over the world
The one you see up in the sky
Can you see me now
Hey hey
You can never catch me now
Hey hey
Can you hear me now
Hey hey
You can never reach me now
Hey hey
