raison d'etre (Revisit) Lyrics
🕑 Added 2021-07-14 19:47:42 +0000 UTCHeyo! I'm remaking my old cover of raison d'etre / E ve and I just finished revamping the lyrics!! I'll upload a WiP soon, too, for those who are pledged $5 or more, but for now,
Please enjoy these lyrics!!
I interpret this song as being about forcing your true self down to fit in with the world of adults.
Internal conflict between what society expects of you and what the heart truly wants.
-
Want the feelings all to stop
Back and forth with feeling blue
Even running high-speed, I'd never start to see down the road I need to someday catch up - MAYDAY
Putting on a mask is tiring, though
I won't complain, I'll just keep closed
I won't complain, I'll just keep closed
The dark skies of real life shine no light on dreamers
I push through these days with a face I don't know
As if I have no existence,
The world moves on relentless
You can't change a thing with feelings in the way,
It all comes falling down
When you wake to your dream,
In your own eyes, what will you see?
Fighting through these dark days,
Someday, I'll see the sun rays
What's wrong?
I'm no longer able to dream like the me inside
So I'll wait for that day to show me it's face
Standing here, I see it
What it is I'm needing
If I can't waste the feelings buried deep inside
Mix them in, mix them in, mix them in til I'm born again
And live this dream forevermore
The cost of living that dream
Is to be hated for being me
Even if the world won't let me be
There's no way I can say that I'm happy this empty
Laughing it away is tiring, though
I won't complain, I'll just keep closed
I won't complain, I'll just keep closed
I live on a lie whispering that I'm fine
Reality's cold so I'll leave it behind
And again I push the me I hide
Far away, I'm done living that life
Telling yourself, "No more", only goes so far, soon it comes falling down
I've been searching through my soul,
I think it's time that I let go
Fighting one another,
Done running any longer
If I can't waste the feelings buried deep inside
Mix them in, mix them in, mix them in til I'm born again
And live this dream forevermore
Empty lives that we're living go on by
Hiding how we are feeling behind lies
We were told we should grow up in no time
We mocked everyone who fell behind
Because I know the truth is too much to take,
I lied so my heart won't break
I've always known, although I tried to run and hide
Not a thing will amount from this life
I miss the days were everything was alright
And my eyes always shone so bright
Tell me, now,
When you wake to your dream,
In your own eyes, what will you see?
Fighting through these dark days,
Someday, I'll see the sun rays
What's wrong?
I'm no longer able to dream like the me inside
So I'll wait for that day to show me it's face
Standing here, I see it
What it is I'm needing
If I can't waste the feelings buried deep inside
Mix them in, mix them in, mix them in til I'm born again
And live this dream forevermore
We'll meet where life's worth living for
