Written after seeing quite a bit of an epidemic of teen & youth suicide rates escalating . Kind of way of expressing through music that there's always choices in life , you just have to look hard enough for them . The end isn't always the only answer
Lyrics
Freed my mind , For once in my Life
Just Tryin' , To get things right
Where to turn , I just don't know
All I know is , That I gotta move fast now .
With a bumpy road , Up ahead
Not quite sure where it leads
Will I fall , Before I fly
Hit the ground , But I gotta get up again .
There's a light , To show me the way
And not so bright yesterdays
I find the strength , To try once again
And reach for the silver lining .
On a cloud , It feels like a dream
Far from reality
I push ahead , In hope of better days
And not sorrow
( Chorus )
The world just pushed me again
This world is pushin'
The world it pushed me away
The world keeps pushin'
The world just pushed me again
This world is pushin'
The world just pushed me away
And within this state of mind , I'm in once again
And with all of these thoughts that are swimming in my head
I kept locked down inside , So deeply
Buried , enough , they won't let you in .
And now with these thoughts , These thoughts in my head
Will I even be missed , Or will anybody care
I kept calling out , For you to hear me
Could you , Even have saved me from myself
( Chorus )
The world just pushed me again
This world just kept on pushin' me
The world it pushed me away
The world kept pushin'
The world just pushed me again ( not again )
The world kept pushin'
The world it pushed me away ( not today )
( Instrumental break )
frame of mind , I'm at once again
Kind of like the end of the rope
Hold on tight , Or just let go
All I know is , That it's comin' in fast now
Still a bumpy road, Up ahead
And I wonder
Will you save me ?
