SIDE FX
Rising Above: Navigating Life's Highs and Lows with Maddie Regent's SIDE FX
Lyrics
I'm going out on a limb that's shaking
I am taking a risk that feels unstable
I've never been up this high
I've never experienced such heights before
My cheeks are tired from the smile I'm faking
I'm pretending to be happy, but it's exhausting
I had to fake it to climb
To progress, I had to pretend and hide my struggles
Fake it 'till you make it
Faking confidence until success comes
Oh what a motivation
Expressing the power of motivation
You just need a lot of heart
Having determination is crucial
Fake it 'till you hate it
Pretending even when you start disliking it
Now look what you created
Reflecting on the consequences of pretending
This is fake falling apart
The situation seems to be falling apart due to the pretense
Take off the make up honey
Removing the façade and being genuine
Put on a mask instead
Choosing to wear a different kind of mask
We need clear tears
Genuine tears are needed for authenticity
To stay up here
To maintain success, genuine emotions are required
You're gonna feel some side effects
Expecting negative consequences of the actions
Chin up
Encouraging oneself to stay positive
Settle down
Advising to calm down and find stability
Move on
Suggesting to move forward despite challenges
Now I'm out on a limb that's breaking
Facing a situation that is breaking apart
I've never fell from this high
Falling from a high point for the first time
My head is tired from the years I've wasted
Feeling mentally exhausted from wasted years
Thinkin' that I couldn't climb
Regretting the belief that climbing was impossible
Take it and you'll make it
Taking opportunities leads to success
We love preordination
Expressing love for destiny or predetermined paths
You can get there check your chart (chart)
Checking progress against a predetermined plan
Fake it like you hate it
Pretending with dislike, acknowledging it was a mistake
I never should've waited
Realizing the consequences of delayed actions
This is fate falling apart (this is my affirmation)
Affirming that fate is falling apart
Take off the make up honey
Removing the artificial layers and being authentic
Put on a mask instead
Choosing a different way to hide emotions
We need clear tears
Genuine tears are needed to maintain success
To stay up here
Authenticity is essential to stay in a higher position
You're gonna feel some side effects
Anticipating negative consequences of actions
Fake it 'till you make it
Pretending until success, but now resenting it
I loved and now I hate it
Love turned into hate due to the pretense
This is fake falling apart
The situation is artificially falling apart
Take off the make up honey
Choosing authenticity over artificial beauty
Put on a mask instead
Opting for a different way to conceal emotions
We need clear tears
Genuine tears are necessary to maintain success
To stay up here
Authenticity is crucial to stay in a higher position
You're gonna feel some side effects
Expecting negative consequences of actions
Wake up you made it honey
Realizing success but facing the negative impact on oneself
And it went to your head
Success has affected one's ego
You got weird fears from all those years
Experiencing unusual fears due to past experiences
You're coming down with side effects
Facing the consequences of success
(This is my affirmation)
Affirmation that the situation is falling apart
