They said "I hope that you will never change" I went and cut my hair They say "Don’t take your business to the big time" I bought us tickets there A slight figure of speech I cut my chest wide open They come and watch us bleed Is it art like I was hoping now?

What I am? Or become? Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb It can be to Attack those around ’cause you’re G - (Riff 2) It’s not you it’s not mine And besides it is gone And you never will find it again But I don’t want to fight I just ask let me be I won’t give the chance to be my enemy So go home Think it through A jet plane and a big idea I jump over the sea What ifs hot on my trail But that can’t catch me no A slight figure of speech I cut my chest wide open They come and watch us bleed Is it art like I was hoping now?

La chanson évoque les luttes intérieures et les sacrifices nécessaires pour progresser dans la vie. Elle aborde des thèmes de vulnérabilité et de l'art d'exposer ses blessures, tout en questionnant ce que cela signifie vraiment. L’artiste exprime ses combats personnels, sa recherche d'authenticité et sa volonté de ne pas se laisser entraîner par le jugement des autres. En fond, on sent une tension entre le désir de réussite et la peur de perdre son essence, avec des références à des choix de vie significatifs, comme changer de look ou s'éloigner des attentes de la société. Le récit est teinté d'une honnêteté désarmante, invitant à réfléchir sur la façon dont nous naviguons nos propres défis.
