ICU
Discover Your Inner Strength: ICU by Eternal Planes
Lyrics
When you wake up
Reflecting on the moment of waking up
What's your first thought?
Questioning the initial thoughts upon waking
What's your next job
Contemplating one's primary responsibilities or tasks
Or your next role?
Considering the next role or duty in life
Do you stand there?
Exploring one's stance or position in various situations
Whilst they're talking
Observing conversations while feeling unnoticed
Like you're no one
Perceiving oneself as insignificant
Like you're gone
Feeling as if one has disappeared or is ignored
Reach inside and you'll find all the strength you need
Encouragement to find inner strength when needed
Take a chance on you
Taking a risk on oneself
Remember how to breath
Recalling the importance of breathing, possibly amid stress
You know you've never been invisible to me
Acknowledging that the person has never gone unnoticed
You know you've never been invisible to me
Reiterating the recognition of the person's presence
When your boss talks
Not being heard during conversations with superiors
You know you weren't heard
Perceiving a lack of acknowledgment from a boss
And your doctors
Feeling like medical professionals are indifferent
Sound like they don't care
Believing that doctors do not show concern
Do you speak out?
Considering whether to express oneself openly
Like you used to?
Comparing current communication with past openness
Or keep your thoughts
Keeping thoughts and feelings internalized
All to your self?
Choosing to remain silent about personal thoughts
Reach inside and you'll find all the strength you need
Encouraging self-discovery of inner strength
Take a chance on you
Advocating for taking a chance on oneself
Remember how to breath
Reminding to remember the basics, like breathing
You know, you've never been invisible to me
Affirming that the person is not invisible
You know, you've never been invisible to me
Reiterating the person's visibility and significance
You shine your light on near and far
Highlighting the person's ability to illuminate others' lives
As though you are your own new dawning
Expressing a sense of personal renewal and awakening
We will remember, we will stand
Committing to remembering and standing together
Our hearts at peace, our spirits soaring
Describing a state of inner peace and elevated spirits
I see you now, and understand
Understanding and recognizing the person's true self
What we have all been missing
Realizing what has been missing in collective awareness
You're so much more than any song
Acknowledging the person's profound significance
But we will keep on singing
Committing to continued expressions of admiration and support
