about

pursuit of appreciation

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

Tearing myself apart and then some
All this for the desired outcome
This is what I’m living for

Yet I’m subject to this shallow need
For praise and approval to succeed
In what I am working for

Not enough recognition may mean that I am not
Good enough to be considered worth giving a damn shot

Sometimes we just need to move on
When there’s no appreciation to be shown
No point in loosing hope
Because we’ve been knocking on all the wrong doors

Watching others reaching to the top
So many not being worth that spot
Taking up all the limelight

Feeling like no one really gives a fuck
’Till someone crucial gives me the nod
A losing battle I must fight

I always give my best but for them it’s not enough
Why the need to act like they are the ones to judge from above

Sometimes we just need to move on
When there’s no appreciation to be shown
No point in loosing hope
Because we’ve been knocking on all the wrong doors

When there’s no response
And I want to try more
I should go beyond
To find the right doors

It’s out there
For those who seek
The ones who care
That I’m unique

solo (Lukáš)

Sometimes we just need to move on
When there’s no appreciation to be shown
No point in loosing hope
Because we’ve been knocking on all the wrong doors
