about
This is a song written for the 2023 Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch. When writing this, we channelled our thoughts and feelings on social anxiety and how we might overcome it at any given moment.
The result is a song that sounds like it could be sung at night-time by two friends, even remotely.
lyrics
LYRICS:
I don't want to be in a prison of my own making,
I don't want to live here while the future is mine for the taking;
these doors are heavy and they won't give way;
what can I do before it only slips away?
The window of this cell opens to a sky of stars;
they shimmer and shine,
oh how beautiful they are!
I want to take my place among those lights.
With you in my heart,
I'll dream my little dream tonight.
'Cause I can't hide and be afraid no more;
in every heart that loves me,
there's an open door;
no, I can't hide now,
I can't run away,
I'll break down these walls and let in the light of day.
And sometimes my heart shall fall,
my will shall falter,
but every thought is a raindrop upon the water;
these things shall pass and I shall be on my way,
these doors shall dissolve,
these walls shall only fade to grey.
No, I won't hide and be afraid no more,
'cause with you by my side,
I've broken down the door;
no, I will take my place among the glorious stars,
and there you'll be with me,
the wonders that you are.
