about

I’ve lived so many lives in one and I’m grateful for all my experiences. I’ve danced with death, sang for the devil, and saw the light.
I was reflecting on my life one day and the lyrics just starting coming to me along with a haunting, melodic melody.
This song is about how I lived with a lot of fear and discomfort for most of my life. I always felt like I was an outsider, standing alone in a crowded room. Now that I’ve overcome that feeling I have a new freedom and I’m able to look back on my life and appreciate it for everything that it was and is now.

lyrics

When I was young I felt alone
Never felt like I had a home
Showered and surrounded by love
Watching myself from up above

What was to become of me
Would I feel eventually whole
Lost and searching far and wide
All this time it was inside, oh oh

I’ve walked a mile in a million shoes
This time got nothing to lose
I’m like a cat ‘cause I’ve lived nine lives
This time around I’m ok to die

My life’s been trouble
And lovely
And trouble

Trouble
And lovely
And trouble

Now that I’m living peacefully
No one can take that away from me
The places I’ve gone inside my mind
I’ve been around so many times

Monsters running after me
Used to hide but now I see
Everything I chased away
All because I was afraid

I’ve walked a mile in a million shoes
This time got nothing to lose
I’m like a cat ‘cause I’ve lived nine lives
This time around I’m ok to die

My life’s been trouble
And lovely
And trouble

Trouble
And lovely
And trouble

Trouble
And lovely
And trouble

Trouble

When I was young I felt alone
