about

pursuit of acceptance

how I wrote the music/how I wrote the lyric/sounds behind/making of videos available on my YT channel for every song from the record :)

lyrics

I wanna get away from this cage I am in
Hold on just a little while longer
Before the fight begins

I stand against my biggest foe – the perfect version of myself
That I feel deserves to win every round
Why go on when I don’t stand a chance
It’s so profound

I gotta break free
Sing with me: wo-o-o-o-o-o
I shouldn’t be
The victim of an ideal I’ve set long ago

I’ve lost so many times
I don’t wanna go another round I say I yield
I’ve done all I could in this battlefield

I gotta break free
Sing with me: wo-o-o-o-o-o
I shouldn’t be
The victim of an ideal I’ve set
I gotta break free
Sing with me: wo-o-o-o-o-o
I shouldn’t be
The victim of an ideal I’ve set long ago

solo (Lukáš)

I should appreciate
How much I work on myself
And not take part in this contest
To become the best

I gotta break free
Sing with me: wo-o-o-o-o-o
I shouldn’t be
The victim of an ideal I’ve set
I gotta break free
Sing with me: wo-o-o-o-o-o
I shouldn’t be
The victim of an ideal I’ve set long ago
