Don't Look Down
Rising Above Shadows: Wesley David's Journey Through Life's Tightrope
Lyrics
My life is a movie with the credits scrolling down
Life feels like a movie, and the moments are passing by as if the credits are rolling at the end.
Old before I was young or proud
Experienced life's challenges or aged prematurely before feeling confident or accomplished.
The reward was a shoo-in, thought the ending safe and sound
Expected a certain favorable outcome, assuming the conclusion would be secure.
Shaking scared to fill the plot holes now
Feeling anxious or fearful about unresolved issues in the storyline.
But if I just go play the game
Contemplating engaging in the established norms or systems.
Will the whole world know my name?
Questioning whether conformity leads to widespread recognition.
Denied the place, my face, my name, my renown
Being refused recognition, one's identity, and fame, feeling unrecognized.
Hiding inside the shame, the wariness of
Hiding emotions and self-worth due to embarrassment or fear.
Calling your agent then breaking down
Reaching out for help, then breaking down emotionally.
Say something lovely now
Seeking positive and affirming words or gestures.
I'm swimming through the scene where the bodies drown
Feeling overwhelmed by the chaotic environment or situations where others are struggling.
It's frozen try to scream fight or flight no sound
Feeling paralyzed or unable to react in a stressful situation.
This tightrope walking dream scares your faith
Fear caused by the uncertainty of pursuing ambitious dreams.
Don't look down
Emphasizing the importance of not succumbing to fear or self-doubt.
See the curtains are moving wish that I still felt the same
Noticing changes in one's surroundings, longing for the past emotions.
As the body double who bears my name
Referencing someone who resembles oneself in actions or appearance, but lacks personal connection or authenticity.
Don't have nothin' to prove to you, when I wake up and feel alive
Declaring independence from the need to prove oneself to others, feeling alive and confident.
Tell my heart pump blood into my Why
Asking for motivation or reason to keep going.
You can check what score's the game
One can focus on external validation or take proactive steps towards personal growth.
Or you can go out and make the plays
Choosing between observing others' success or actively participating in creating one's own achievements.
Denied the place, my face, my name, my renown
Experiencing rejection or lack of acknowledgment for one's identity and fame.
Hiding inside the shame, but weighing how
Concealing oneself due to shame but considering the consequences.
Less is more when you love your crown
Realizing that sometimes having less attention or recognition can be beneficial.
