I Need To Be
Embracing Freedom: The Cassaday Concoction's Quest for Authenticity
Lyrics
If you listen close keep your head above your toes
If you pay close attention and stay aware
You hear the sound come through tell me make your next move
You'll hear a signal guiding you to make your next move
Yes I know what I know and it really goes to show
Confidently acknowledging what I know, demonstrating its significance
It's all around me waiting trying to find a way
Surrounded by opportunities, patiently seeking a way
I got a wicked mind and very little time
I possess a creative mind with limited time
To tell you what I need and to stifle this greed
To express my needs and overcome personal desires
I can't escape it it's fine but I know that deep inside
Accepting challenges, understanding that inner struggles exist
I got to fight back, right track, got to get me free
Fighting against obstacles, choosing the right path for liberation
I need to be
Expressing the essential need to exist authentically
I need to be
Reiterating the importance of being true to oneself
If you step too far just take a look at where you are
Reflecting on choices and assessing one's current situation
And you will find me waiting, trying to find a way
Persistently waiting for opportunities, seeking a way forward
To have my mind made up, and some liquor in my cup
Making decisions and finding comfort in certain indulgences
To keep me fine yeah, I can't
Facing challenges while maintaining composure
Be who they want me to be
Resisting societal expectations and staying true to oneself
I got a life to live, and so much left to give
Acknowledging the preciousness of life and the desire to contribute
I can tell what I need in the face of defeat
Recognizing needs even in the face of adversity
I can't be right all the time, but I know that deep inside
Understanding fallibility, yet determined to overcome challenges
I got to fight back, right track, got to get me free
Reiterating the need to fight for freedom and choose the right path
I need to be
Emphasizing the ongoing need to be true to oneself
I need to be
Reaffirming the importance of authenticity
I don't want to be another face in the magazine
Rejecting the desire to conform to societal standards
Just dying trying to chase the dream but never made it to the door
Refusing to pursue a dream at the cost of personal integrity
A million times I tried to find some balance in this life
Struggling to find balance amidst life's challenges
But all the lows and highs aint got me right can't take it anymore
Experiencing the extremes of life, feeling unsettled
If lying stealing doping and dealing is what it will take to get me this feeling
Contemplating unethical means to achieve a desired feeling
Might as well leave this music and healing step back in to line
Considering stepping back in line, abandoning music and healing
But that aint in the cards I'm singing there aint no round of applause
Realizing that applause may not be part of the journey
And when the radio finally plays I know exactly what they'll say
Anticipating criticism when the radio plays the song
I need to be
Reiterating the essential need to be true to oneself
Oh I need to be
Emphasizing the ongoing importance of authenticity
