“Grinding Away” by Sdreita was inspired by the writer’s struggle to chase a dream when no one believed in him. Growing up in a small town, he was constantly told his ambitions were unrealistic. Friends and family doubted his every move, telling him to give up and be practical. Despite feeling the weight of their disbelief, he refused to quit.
One night, after a conversation where yet another person told him to abandon his dream, he sat down and wrote the song. “Grinding Away” became a personal anthem, expressing his determination to keep pushing forward, no matter what obstacles or negativity surrounded him. It’s a song for anyone who’s had to persevere in the face of doubt and keep grinding toward their dreams.

Grinding Away – Lyrics
Walking down
This road alone
Chasing dreams
I’m on my own
Every step
A battle fought
In my mind
I can’t be bought
Eyes ahead
The future calls
Through the pain
I’ll break the walls
I feel the weight
I know it’s tough
But I’ve got fire
I’ve got enough
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
Through the dark
I’ll find my way
No matter what
They throw at me
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
Voices tell me
Just give in
But I won’t stop
I’ll rise again
In the night
The silence screams
But I hold tight
To my own dreams
Heart of steel
Won’t lose faith
Through the storm
I’ll find my place
I see the light
It’s far but clear
I won’t let go
Of what I hold dear
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
Through the dark
I’ll find my way
No matter what
They throw at me
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
Through the dark
I’ll make my way
No matter what
They throw at me
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
Through the dark
I’ll make my way
No matter what
They throw at me
I’m gonna keep
Grinding away
