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

Artist picture
Singer, songwriter, punk rock girl. Ruler of all I survey.
Touring up to 75,000 miles per year, Simone performs an average of 270 shows annually (2007-2016). Independently financed and self-managed, Simone has achieved more than most indie-bands would hope for. National media attention, endorsements from international organizations and regular airplay are just of the few accomplishments this young artist has experienced. 'Strong riffs, hooks and melodies make Simone a highly-listenable band' (Miramar Management), but it is the energy of the live performances that Simone is best known. Sharing the stage with bands such as LA Guns, Bullet Boys, Dishwalla, JR Richards, The Sammus Theory, At Cliffs End, Stranded and many others, Simone exceeds expectations. Known for their live performances -- "[Simone's] got the look, got the voice, got the songs" (Steve Gilmore, Rebel Riffs), Simone tours throughout the US and Europe. Their music has charted on GarageBand, StereoFame, OurStage, NoiseHead and Imeem, and their independent release "Temporary Heaven" was awarded the E.A.R. (Excellence In Audio Recording) award in 2007.

Story behind the song
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 :)
Lyrics
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
