This song represents the need for a big personal change after a long period without satisfaction or success.
By adding soft and harsh vocals, clean and distorted notes to the intesity of the lyrics we convey the message that our true power does not lie around us, but inside us
allowing us to reach life changing goals.
lyrics
I used “sorry” to keep you all away
And that was my defeat
Cause I tore myself apart tryna hold me afloat every day
So, I'm sorry
Sometimes I couldn’t just fix it
Lies that told a deeper truth
And that’s when I started asking myself why
I spent my time trying to be someone
Just like in colossals
With the rain over me
A voice said "you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog"
I’ve fallen head over heels
For something that ain't real
Cause I've got a pretty look for what I wanna be
But I could never be myself
Do you know that I'm suffering?
But at least tonight I don't feel like crying
I spent my time trying to be someone
Just like in colossals
With the rain over me
A voice said "you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog"
I’ve fallen head over heels
I’ve fallen head over heels
I’ve fallen head over heels
I’ve fallen head over heels
I’ve fallen head
“You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta”
I spent my time trying to be someone
Just like in colossals
With the rain over me
A voice said "you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog"
I’ve fallen head over heels
A voice said "you gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in darkness and fog"
I’ve fallen head over heels
“You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta”
“You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta”
“You gotta live, gotta live, you gotta”
