Think 'Fame' and you'll get the celebration aspect of this track. Letting go - moving on - dealing with life and enjoying the present.

Lyrics were originally for a different body of work but were incorporated into this track during the writing process. When we perform this track live, we'll have call/response and juxtaposed vocals happening at the end. This makes the song breathe live but just didn't work in the studio.
We never set out to do a 'rap' song but it just happened for the verses. The 'Jeopardy' synth at the end was an in-joke but fit during mixing :)

The observer who lives behind her face
Is missing without a trace
A diluted carbon copy her will has become
A life of chaos made her heart succumb
The afflictions of childhood still run deep
Over spilling to the present and in her mind sleeps
Her intellect is rich with the wealth of knowing
Her emotions are in poverty and starved of growing*
To face these demons to face these fears
To be released from the shackles of all these years
Its a miracle she has survived
Shining without the light in her eyes


Who am I beneath these thoughts
In between knowing and being at loss
Living on automatic pilot phase
Weaving in and out of numbness and rage
Going back to my familiar ways
Affected by the virus of what they say
Instead of being me I go in my cage
I struggle to rise above these waves


Behind the scenes
Living her dream
Shes lost at sea
Shes not like me

I keep holding on to the past
Time to let go
What Ive been
What Ive been through is forever gone
Time to move on
