LIVING SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE

V6

[Intro — Whispered voices, distant and overlapping] What will they think? What will they say? What if tomorrow Takes today away? I watched their lives… I dreamed their dreams… I built a world That wasn't made for me. [Verse 1 — Deep, intimate male vocal] I live tomorrow before it arrives, Rehearsing disasters in the back of my mind. I picture their faces, I measure my worth, While my own little world disappears from the earth. I know what they have, or I think that I do, I compare my backstage to their perfect view. I borrow their happiness, wear their success, Then wonder why my own heart feels emptiness. [Pre-Chorus — Pulsing bass, rising synth] I'm running ahead of the life that I own, Afraid of the silence of being alone. I follow a shadow, I chase a disguise, And miss all the stars in my own dark sky. [Chorus — Powerful, melodic electronic drop] I'M LIVING SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE! Dreaming their dreams in the dead of the night. Waiting for a future that may never come, Watching everybody while I come undone. I'm living tomorrow, I'm losing today, Giving my own little moments away. Tell me, who's living this life of mine? I'm here in the world, but I'm never on time. [Post-Chorus — Hypnotic vocal loop] Not my life… Not their life… Whose life am I living tonight? Not my dream… Not my time… Am I yours, or are you mine? [Verse 2 — Rhythm intensifies] Some live for applause that they haven't received, Some fear rejection before they believe. Some carry a sentence that nobody said, Some fight imaginary wars in their heads. We envy the freedom we think others know, We see all their flowers, not the roots below. We plan every answer, predict every fall, And build invisible walls around it all. [Pre-Chorus — Building tension] What if the future is none of our own? What if the road must be walked alone? What if the person I'm trying to please Is just a reflection that never sees me? [Chorus — Bigger, layered vocals] I'M LIVING SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE! Dreaming their dreams in the dead of the night. Waiting for a future that may never come, Watching everybody while I come undone. I'm living tomorrow, I'm losing today, Giving my own little moments away. Tell me, who's living this life of mine? I'm here in the world, but I'm never on time. [Instrumental Break — Original synth motif, distorted voices circling in stereo] THEY THINK… I THINK… WE THINK… But nobody knows. THEY LIVE… I WATCH… TIME STOPS… And nobody grows. [Bridge — Beat nearly disappears, vulnerable male vocal] I don't know what they're thinking. I don't know where they go. I don't know all their battles. There's so much I will never know. So why am I giving them The keys to my mind? Why am I living a life That was never designed to be mine? [Build-Up — Spoken voice, heartbeat kick] Stop predicting. Stop pretending. Stop comparing. Stop surrendering. The future isn't here. Their life isn't yours. The present is knocking… OPEN THE DOOR! [Final Chorus — Explosive progressive dance drop] I'M DONE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE! I'll make my mistakes, I'll step into the light. No more living in a world of maybe, No more being a stranger to the person who made me! I'M HERE IN THE MOMENT! I'M HERE IN MY SKIN! The life I've been waiting for Is the life I'm living in! No borrowed dreams! No borrowed time! This is my life! AND THIS LIFE IS MINE! [Outro — Soft voice over fading synth pulses] Tomorrow can wait. Their story is theirs. I'm done living everywhere… Except here.
