🌲⛰️🌊❄️ 🎵 NDC • Nordic Discord Challenge • Since November 2024 🎵 ❄️🌊⛰️🌲 Genre: Visual Kei Theme: Someone I look up to #ByDOT🔥 //I Still Look Up To You - ByDOT🔥 [INTRO] When I was young you seemed impossibly tall. I could lean against your shoulder and believe you knew it all. If you said we'd be alright, I believed that it was true. The safest place I knew back then was standing next to you. [VERSE 1] You were strong inside my memories, the man who stood his ground. The one I thought could handle whatever came around. And years went by, I grew up too, but somewhere underneath it all I never stopped looking up to you. [PRE-CHORUS] Then life began to change you in ways I couldn't stop. And I learned how much it hurts to watch someone strong grow small. [CHORUS] I still look up to you. I need you to know that's true. Even when your body gets smaller, even when your memories do too. The world can take your strength, the years can change the man I see, but nothing makes you smaller, Dad, when you're standing next to me. [INSTRUMENTAL DROP] [VERSE 2] Now there are things you can't remember, and things I wish you could. Sometimes I see you searching for something you once understood. Sometimes the words get tangled. Sometimes yesterday is gone. And there are battles in your body that I cannot fight for you. I hate that I can't stop it. I hate what time can do. Because I remember that strong man. And Dad... I still see him when I look at you. [PRE-CHORUS] The years have turned the picture round. Sometimes you're the one who needs a hand now. And I would give you mine a thousand times, because you gave me yours when I was small. [CHORUS] I still look up to you. Maybe now more than you knew. Even when your body gets smaller, even when your memories do too. The world can take your strength, the years can change the man I see, but nothing makes you smaller, Dad, when you're standing next to me. [FALSE STOP] [BRIDGE] I wish I could make you taller again. I wish I could give the years back. Give you back the weight you've lost, the strength, the memories, everything life has taken. But I can't. So I'll do the one thing I still can do. I'll remember. © 2026 #ByDOT🔥. All rights reserved.
