My Ball and Chain

I’m tired of dragging round a ball and chain.

Of being afraid to make a change.

I’m tired of working at a dead end job.

Of not saying what I need to say.

 

I need some resolution.

The solution is on me.

No need for hesitation.

The answer is plain to see.

 

My fear of failure, my failure to act.

They are my ball and chain.

They are my ball and chain.

 

My dad used to tell me suck it up son.

A man does what he has to do.

Fear of failure is failure to act

It’s all about your attitude.

 

I need some resolution.

The solution is on me.

No need for hesitation.

The answer is plain to see.

 

I won’t fear the future, I won’t just complain 

Time to drop this ball and chain.

Time to drop this ball and chain.

 

By admitting you’re wrong you’re halfway

On your way to being free.

 

The journey begins with the truth.

With knowing who you are.

Only then can the healing start

And that’s the hardest part.

How about "No more hesitation," in place of "No need for hesitation?" It feels more urgent and immediate.

I'm a bit confused by this...

My dad used to tell me suck it up son.
A man does what he has to do.
More and more lately I think he was right.
It’s all about your attitude.

His dad seems to be telling him to just suck it up and keep doing what he's doing - the opposite of what the rest of the song is about. Am I missing something?

I may or may not be an enigma
