to put it very simply, this song is from the perspective of people who are living life as their true selves in this society where they’re cut down by people who are terrified of that fact. I wrote it with a certain community in mind 🌈 but it can be about anyone who’s exiled simply for being their true self. enjoy. 💕

verse 1 - 
Oh we have found ourselves, alone in this world with no one else
Drifting out to sea and now we’re drowning
People are scared of what they don’t know 
So they try to cut us out of our own show 
Thinking we’re too bright because we’re different

chorus - 
People are afraid, they wouldn’t last a day in our shoes 
Or the clothes that hide all the things that we don’t like 
So we can identify by societal rules 
All the norms, the regulations , 
the judgements and the faces 
All the things that are missing from what we learn in school 

verse 2 - 
The root of all bad things is trauma
So why do we keep going on longer? 
Feelings are set into motion but not set in stone 
Fear is the cause of what’s wrong and people don’t want to admit that 
So you put us in the spotlight 
But why are we the ones that have to hide? 

bridge -
Because all you do is highlight 
All the things you don’t like 
How do we identify? Does it keep you up at night?   
But we’re here to stay, 
No, we won’t change or bend the rules 
Cause it doesn’t matter to you

outro - 
People are afraid, they wouldn’t last a day in our shoes 
Or the clothes that hide all the things that we don’t like 
How we identify the way we are
And that's ultimately cool, ultimately cool

people are afraid
