“Thriving Without Me” starts at the lowest moment of my life — a night I wasn’t sure I’d survive — and ends with something I never thought I’d be able to say again: "still alive"

The song is about the people I once made music with… the friends who told me my writing wasn’t good enough, the ones who drifted away, and the ones who went on to make it big while I was still trying to put myself back together.

It’s a song about betrayal, loss, resilience, and the slow climb back to finding my voice after everyone else had already moved on.

If you’ve ever felt left behind — or like you had to rebuild your entire life from the ground up — this one’s for you.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
February rain, cold steel and silence
Woke up to flowers and fear in their eyes
They said they’d stay, but they faded to shadows
Left me here counting who never said goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
I built my heart into every band
But the dream keeps slipping through my hands

[Chorus]
And I see them shining on the screen
With faces from the life that used to be
Linda, Dina, all the ones who used to dream beside me
They’re up there smiling, wild and free
While I’m just haunted by the melody
Yeah, all of them thriving without me

[Verse 2]
Linda wrote lines, said mine weren’t worth singing
I walked away before the radio played
Less than a year, and the world was listening
While I was stuck in the echo and the shade

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried again, I found new friends
But the same old story starts again

[Chorus]
And I see them shining on the screen
With faces from the life that used to be
Linda, Dina, all the ones who used to dream beside me
They’re up there smiling, wild and free
While I’m just haunted by the melody
Yeah, all of them thriving without me

[Verse 3]
Now Dina’s rich, she’s flying high in L.A.
Karen’s still strumming with my old friend
Sandy’s laughing behind the drum set
And I’m here wondering how it all could bend

[Bridge]
It’s a cruel kind of beautiful, watching them bloom
While I’m still singing to an empty room
But maybe the stars still remember my sound
Maybe my story’s still turning around

[Chorus]
‘Cause I see them shining on the screen
With faces from the life that used to be
Linda, Dina, all the ones who used to dream beside me
They’re up there smiling, wild and free
While I’m still haunted by the melody
Yeah, all of them thriving without me

[Outro]
But the song’s still burning in my veins
Every scar still whispers my name
I may be lost between what was and what could have been
But I’m still here
Still writing my songs
Still me, still alive...

Snowlight Vale (Elizabeth)

Soft wind, folded in glass air, 
drifts of sound that bloom and disappear. 
A silver hush on the trembling pine, 
the daylight hums a violet line.

Whisperfall, a cloud on the water, 
breath becomes a woven shimmer. 
Steps dissolve beneath the frost, 
and all you were, the light has crossed.

Veins of warmth through frozen bloom, 
a quiet world, no thought, no room. 
Dreams in flocks, they circle slow, 
pale as rain the long winds blow.

Far from the edge of speaking sky, 
you touch the hush where colors lie. 
The heart unfolds, unseen, untold— 
Snowlight vale, the air turns gold.

Drift on, small flame in the white, 
folded and faint in the endless light.
