Description
"My song 'Buried Alive: Counting Stars Chapter 2' is a sequel to the original 'Counting Stars' by OneRepublic. It's an emotional journey of self-reflection and overcoming life's struggles. The lyrics that I wrote convey feelings of being trapped in a dark place yet striving for something greater. The phrase 'breathing dust' symbolizes a sense of desperation and the feeling of being buried under life's hardships. Despite the metaphorical entombment, the singer aspires to 'touch the sky', indicating hope and resilience." |
Lyrics[]
Lately, I feel like I'm just breathing dust
Six feet under the ground, but I'm reaching up
Buried alive, trying to touch the sky
I know we're just a heartbeat from the light, oh oh
I've been counting stars up in the sky
But it seems the night is getting cold
And the dreams we chased just pass me by
Now I'm feeling buried alive, oh oh
Oh, do I look like an old person,
Young, do I look like an old soul?
Oh, do I seem like a lost child
Trying to find my way home?
Don't feel wrong for doing the right thing
Don't feel weak when you're fighting the fight
We're all just stars in the vast sky
But everything that kills me makes me buried alive
Lately, I feel like I'm just breathing dust
Six feet under the ground, but I'm reaching up
Buried alive, trying to touch the sky
I know we're just a heartbeat from the light, oh oh
Lately, I feel like I'm just breathing dust
Six feet under the ground, but I'm reaching up
Buried alive, trying to touch the sky
I know we're just a heartbeat from the light, oh oh
Make that money, watch it burn
Greed is the chains that tie me down
Make that money, watch it burn
Love is the only crown that I've found
Oh, do I look like an old person,
Young, do I look like an old soul?
Oh, do I seem like a lost child
Trying to find my way home?
Don't feel wrong for doing the right thing
Don't feel weak when you're fighting the fight
We're all just stars in the vast sky
But everything that kills me makes me buried alive
Lately, I feel like I'm just breathing dust
Six feet under the ground, but I'm reaching up
Buried alive, trying to touch the sky
I know we're just a heartbeat from the light, oh oh
Lately, I feel like I'm just breathing dust
Six feet under the ground, but I'm reaching up
Buried alive, trying to touch the sky
I know we're just a heartbeat from the light, oh oh
