Sideline
Embrace Change: Breaking Free from Sideline Shadows
Lyrics
There’s nothing like it
Expressing that there's no experience comparable to it.
Those dreams where you're flying
Referring to dreams where one feels liberated or unrestricted.
And I hate the wake up, put on my make up
Disliking the transition from a dream state to reality, having to put on a facade.
And paint on a smile
Forcing oneself to appear happy despite inner feelings.
I give it all
Offering everything without receiving anything in return.
With nothing returning
Feeling exhausted from giving without reciprocity.
I'm tired of praying, wishing and waiting
Frustration with hoping and waiting for change without seeing any.
For nothing to change
Expressing disappointment in the lack of change despite efforts.
I’ve walked the line like a tightrope
Metaphorically referring to balancing on the edge but now hoping for a fall, a change.
But now it’s the falling that’s my hope
Shifting from fearing failure to hoping for change or a breakthrough.
Want this to feel like my own life
Desiring personal ownership and authenticity in life experiences.
I won’t be left behind
Determined not to be left behind or overlooked.
I don’t wanna stand on the sideline
Desire to actively participate rather than observe from the sidelines.
I don’t wanna pretend it’s all fine
Refusal to feign contentment when things aren’t okay.
I wanna live like it’s the last night, the last fight
Willingness to live each moment fully, with intensity and purpose.
I won’t be left behind
Reiterating determination not to be overlooked or forgotten.
I don’t need easy
Preference for challenges and complexities rather than an easy path.
Just need to be free
Craving freedom instead of simplicity.
I found a purpose, deeper than surface
Finding a profound reason or motivation beyond superficiality.
And buried my peace
Burying inner peace for the sake of pursuing this deeper purpose.
And baby I’m changing
Acknowledging personal growth and transformation.
Can’t fake anymore
Refusing to fake or pretend any longer.
I’m tired of praying, wishing and waiting
Repeating frustration with hoping and waiting for unclear purposes.
What’s it all for
Questioning the meaning or value of it all.
I’ve walked the line like a tightrope
Similar metaphorical reference to balancing on the edge but desiring change.
But now it’s the falling that’s my hope
Shifting focus from fearing failure to hoping for change.
Want this to feel like my own life
Desire for life experiences to resonate personally and authentically.
I won’t be left behind
Asserting determination not to be overlooked or forgotten.
I don’t wanna stand on the sideline
Reiterating the desire to actively engage in life rather than observe.
I don’t wanna pretend it’s all fine
Refusal to pretend that everything is okay when it's not.
I wanna live like it’s the last night, the last fight
Willingness to live intensely as if every moment matters.
I won’t be left behind
Stating determination not to be left behind or forgotten.
ooooooh
Non-verbal vocal expressions reinforcing the emotional intensity.
ooooooh
-I don’t wanna stand on the sideline
Repeated assertion of the desire to actively participate in life, refusing to feign contentment.
I don’t wanna pretend it’s all fine
-I wanna live like it’s the last night, the last fight
-I won’t be left behind
Final affirmation of the determination not to be overlooked or forgotten.
