A song inspired by survivors guilt: that feeling when you escape some form of struggle or another, but feel bad celebrating cos of the collective mood.
When survivor's guilt sets in, it makes it hard to celebrate your wins, makes you wanna hide your blessings, send you to war with yourself.
lyrics
Hiding from your neighbours
Hugging all the strangers
Bug is too contagious
Let the money make ya
One day when you’re famous
Please come back and save us
Remember we used to play hopscotch in second grade
[---] you changed up
All the rings and make-up
Walking like it’s blue blood
Running through your veins but
If I’m not mistaken
You don’t know what pain is
Just a couple break ups
Crying on the train home
Dry your eyes
And come and fuel our highs
You’ve got your songs and flights
You’re meant to love this life
Who care if you can’t find
A place to run or hide
You owe us all your time
You owe us all your time
Dry your eyes
And come and fuel our highs
You’ve got your songs and flights
You’re meant to love this life
Who care if you can’t find
A place to run or hide
You owe us all your time
You owe us all your time
Look how far you’ve climbed
Glamour stole your shine
Left your soul behind
Look how far you’ve climbed
Glamour stole your shine
Left your soul behind
Watching as you take off
Hold our names up, you know we made ya
And don’t forget the faces and all the favours
Now that you’re major
Can’t invite us to the the places
Where Chardonnay flow, are you ashamed of
All the traits you run away from when we display them
For you, they paid off
Well here is where people come to die
But you made it out alive
Held us down so you could rise
Time to pay the price
Dry your eyes
And come and fuel our highs
You’ve got your songs and flights
You’re meant to love this life
Who cares if you can’t find
A place to run or hide
You owe us all your time
You owe us all your time
Dry your eyes
And come and fuel our highs
You’ve got your songs and flights
You’re meant to love this life
Who cares if you can’t find
A place to run or hide
You owe us all your time
You owe us all your time
