So i've been keeping up with Internet Icon, and this was one of the finalist's videos by Matthias, which really struck a chord in me. I mean, at first i was intrigued by the catchy tune and amazing visuals, but when i actually listened to the lyrics, i realized that...i could really relate to it. And that's why i'm sharing it here, along with the lyrics.
Backwards, forwards,
I'm exploring the borders of,
Everything I want,
Everything I need,
Lethal Doses,
of my own emotions,
Seep into my dreams,
and Paralyze me,
I pick myself up off the ground,
I keep telling myself,
No, I'm not backing down,
I keep telling myself,
The best is still yet to come,
I keep telling myself,
It's darkest before the dawn,
I'm going backwards,
And I'm made to believe,
I'm moving forwards,
And I'm chasing my dreams
But I'll be,
Just who I want to be,
Without you controlling,
Controlling me.
Toxic thoughts can make me,
easily drop this,
But I won't shift my step,
So there's nothing to regret,
I'm broken and coping,
with this broken hope and,
I kept blaming them,
when the doubt came from within,
No more ugly white lies,
I keep telling myself,
This time I'm gonna try,
I'm not just telling myself,
The best is still yet to come,
I keep telling myself,
It's darkest before the dawn,
I'm going backwards,
And I'm made to believe,
I'm moving forwards,
And I'm chasing my dreams
But I'll be,
Just who I want to be,
Without you controlling,
Controlling me.
I will be seen and be heard
And they hang on my every word
I will break free from the chains
And beat anything you throw in my way
I will be seen and be heard
And they hang on my every word
I will break free from the chains
And beat anything you throw in my way
