Fall
Rising Beyond Imitation
Lyrics
To make me happy don't need a dime
To find happiness, money is unnecessary
Don't need a trophy to say that I
A trophy doesn't define my worth
I sound the same as fortune and fame
My identity is not determined by wealth or fame
The radio is who I blame
Blaming the mainstream media (radio) for expectations
Cos what they want to hear is such a shame
Criticizing the public's taste in music
Blood on this guitar representing pain
Guitar symbolizing struggles and hardships
Cos original is overrated
Valuing originality over commonly praised content
Sound the same to be highly rated
Criticizing the tendency to conform for success
Yeah play me that same old Wonderwall
Sarcastically referencing a popular song, Wonderwall
Cos sounding like you is such a bore
Expressing disdain for imitating others
Don't put us to sleep cos the guy to my left snores
Rejecting monotony in music performances
And you wannabes one day will fall
Predicting failure for those trying to imitate
182 reasons to, love what you play because one day
Encouraging love for one's unique musical style
The time to have one hit and run will come
Anticipating a moment of success and recognition
Enjoy your hour in the sun
Enjoying a brief moment of popularity
Cos it’s shining bright and you're fading away
Contrasting personal brightness with others fading
Burnt out sold out you've lost your way
Criticizing those who lose their way in fame
Cos it's so damn easy to fake it
Highlighting the ease of pretending in the industry
Be yourself and make a statement
Encouraging authenticity and making a statement
Yeah play me that same old Wonderwall
Sarcastically referencing Wonderwall again
Cos sounding like you never gets old
Mocking the lack of originality in imitation
I know right now you're feeling six feet tall
Addressing the temporary confidence of imitators
But you wannabes one day will fall
Reiterating the eventual downfall of imitators
Today is gonna be the day
Expressing determination for a breakthrough day
That the people gonna listen to what I gotta say
Confidence in being heard and understood
Cos the winding roads will lead me home
Believing in finding a true place of belonging
Not to a place I don't belong
Rejecting association with an inappropriate place
Today is gonna be the day
Reiteration of confidence in being heard
That the people gonna listen to what I gotta say
Confidence in being heard and understood (repeated)
Cos the winding roads will lead me home
Believing in finding a true place of belonging (repeated)
Today is gonna be the day
Confidence in being heard and understood (repeated)
That the people gonna listen to what I gotta say
-Cos the winding roads will lead me home
Believing in finding a true place of belonging (repeated)
Not to a place I don't belong
Rejecting association with an inappropriate place (repeated)
Today is gonna be the day
Confidence in being heard and understood (repeated)
That the people gonna listen to what I gotta say
-Cos the winding roads will lead me home
Believing in finding a true place of belonging (repeated)
Yeah play me that same old Wonderwall
Sarcastically referencing Wonderwall again (repeated)
Cos sounding like you is such a bore
Mocking the lack of originality in imitation (repeated)
Don't put us to sleep cos the guy to my left snores
Rejecting monotony in music performances (repeated)
And you wannabes one day will fall
Reiterating the eventual downfall of imitators (repeated)
Yeah play me that same old Wonderwall
Sarcastically referencing Wonderwall again (repeated)
Cos sounding like you never gets old
Mocking the lack of originality in imitation (repeated)
I know right now you're feeling six feet tall
Addressing the temporary confidence of imitators (repeated)
But you wannabes one day will fall
Reiterating the eventual downfall of imitators (repeated)
