Lyrics

Fellow citizens, we observe today not a victory of party

Fellow citizens, today is not about political victory but a celebration of freedom.

But a celebration of freedom

The celebration symbolizes both an end and a beginning.

Symbolizing an end as well as a beginning

It signifies renewal and change.

Signifying renewal as well as change

The world has changed significantly.

The world is very different now

Man now has the power to eliminate all forms of human life.

For man holds in his mortal hands

The narrator reflects on standing firm in a challenging situation, dreaming of a better future.

The power to abolish all forms of human life

Amidst a world filled with danger, the narrator seeks stability.


Here I stand, it's stuck in the mind, but I'm dreaming us in

The narrator expresses determination despite facing challenges.

In an ocean that's full with sharks, I'm searching for land

In a world full of deceit ("sharks"), the narrator searches for genuine connections.

Here I go, once again it's best until a mic unfolds

The narrator confronts challenges with resilience every time they step up to the mic.

I swear there's a story that nobody knows, are you listening?

There's an untold story, and the narrator questions if anyone is listening.


Everyone I know is all the same

The people the narrator knows are predictable or conformist.

And you're never gonna get it, it's just a game

Success is elusive, and life is seen as a game.

You can say what you want to, but you'll never change

Despite opinions, change is unlikely.

And now I can't bring myself to stay by your side

The narrator can't bring themselves to stay in a toxic relationship.

By your stay, by your side

You're in it for the bitches, the fortune and fame

Others are motivated by superficial desires (bitches, fortune, fame).

You only want me for my name

The narrator feels objectified, valued only for their name.

You're in it for the bitches, the fortune and fame

Repetition of the idea that others are motivated by shallow desires.

You only want me for my name

Repetition of feeling objectified and used.


I'm broken, misunderstood

The narrator feels broken and misunderstood.

Part of a home I built all alone, now

The narrator built a life alone but feels a part of it is lost.

Stepping my dreams and I had, I wishing that I could

The narrator misses a time when life felt good.

Go back to a time when it felt so good

Nostalgia for a time when things felt positive.

I'm so broken, misunderstood

Repetition of feeling broken and misunderstood.

Trying to satisfy the needs of others as best as I could

The narrator tried to meet others' needs but struggles.

Have you noticed? Have you tried?

A question about awareness of internal pain.

Have you the pain inside you

Encouragement to recognize and confront emotional pain.

You know what's like to feel dead on the inside

Understanding the emptiness within, feeling emotionally dead.

And your hands, and you live and you die

The cycle of living and dying, feeling detached.

Who's out say that

A question about who has the authority to judge.

I want you to remember me

A desire to be remembered.


Here I stand, it's stuck in the mind, but I'm dreaming us in

Repetition of the narrator's determination despite challenges.

In an ocean that's full with sharks, I'm searching for land

Repetition of navigating a dangerous world in search of stability.

Here I go, once again it's best until a mic unfolds

Repetition of facing challenges with resilience.

I swear there's a story that nobody knows, are you listening?

The narrator believes there's a hidden story, questioning if anyone is paying attention.

It goes
