This piece is about processing the echoes of childhood, about facing the ghosts that shaped me and learning to understand them instead of fearing them.
I’m still fighting with the old fears, the silence, and the rules that never felt right.
Writing is how I try to make sense of it all — to feel it, to reflect, to breathe through it.
But the shadows are still there. Some struggles never fully go away; they change shape, linger, and remind me that the fight continues.
These lyrics are my reflection, raw and unfinished — just like me.
[Verse 1]
No tears, just pain
All my life is full of strain.
Hollow inside, feeling blind
Haunting shadows mask the light.
Who is the enemy?
The enemy, it‘s only me.
[Chorus]
In the silence
I hear a voice in me
Crooning the past, fears and legacy
Setting free - my agony
[Adult Voice]
It was their fault, they exceeded
But you never agreed
You’re a victim, yes, but still you breathe
In shadows there’s a space to grieve
[Verse 2]
Toed the line, always alone
Inside a double-faced home
Could never flee
Could never be free
[Bridge / Echo]
Lost myself, went astray
In a world made to obey
[Chorus]
In the silence
I hear a voice in me
Crooning the past, fears and legacy
Setting free - my agony
[Post-Chorus / Hook]
I craved a little love —
They pushed me to the edge of shame
And left me with the blame
[Adult Voice 2]
They ignored your basic needs
But they will never concede
It’s okay to rage inside
No more blame, nothing to hide
A victim, yes, but not your fate
Stand your ground – it’s not too late
[Bridge / Echo]
Hollow inside, feeling blind
Haunting shadows masked the fight.
[Outro / Hook]
This ghostly melody
Crooning about legacy
Allows me
to get free
