[Verse 1] Dreams like coins down a well Until I realized I was dumb for believing To the bird with no flight The skies don’t ever offer respite So I wandered off And went to fill the holes if my shadows But everything costs The proof was etched into the backs of my hands [Chorus 1] I heard you say that you’ lost you’ lost you’ lost you’ lost your way But I don’t think you had much to lose that house was never built for you And I ain’t gonna hang my head for them for them and I ain’t gonna let them paint the truth as sin And I ain’t gonna tell you it’s okay ’cause at the end of the day You were just something to blame [Bridge 1] x2 [Verse 2] Face pressed into your hands I couldn’t tell if you were crying or laughing They both sound the same when you ain’t got no skin in the game So I took up the fight And the roaring in my head was like thunder Until I uncurled my fists And allowed myself to not give a damn [Chorus 2] I heard you say that we’ lost we’ lost we’ lost we’ lost our way But I don’t think we had much to lose that path was never built for us And I ain’t gonna hang my head for them for them and I ain’t gonna let them paint the truth as sin And I ain’t gonna tell you it’s okay when at the end of the day You were just something to blame [Outro] x2

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la quête de sens et d'identité face aux désillusions et aux luttes intérieures. L'artiste s'interroge sur les rêves perdus, sur la difficulté de trouver sa place dans un monde qui semble souvent hostile. Il soulève l'idée que le chemin de la vie est semé d'embûches et que parfois, il vaut mieux se libérer des attentes et des jugements des autres. Dans un contexte où l'on se sent égaré, l'œuvre rappelle que la vérité ne doit pas être perçue à travers le prisme de la culpabilité. Au lieu de se laisser abattre par l’opinion d’autrui, il est essentiel de se battre pour sa propre vérité, même si cela implique d'affronter ses peurs et ses incertitudes. Quand on abandonne le poids des reproches, on peut finalement retrouver la liberté.
