Lyric

In the subway car, like an aquarium glass

A river of people, colors flowing past

Some are staring, sending secret signs

But in my headphones, I’m fine, I’m just fine

My screen’s no shield, it’s a portal instead

Where friends, family, and colleagues connect

Where jokes and laughter make a world I can hold

Where my voice is heard, pure and bold

And that guy… (Am I the only one he sees?)

Looks so sad, like I’m guilty somehow

He thinks I’m trapped, caught in a cage

But this is my choice—I love my quiet now

Who are you to try and “save” me? (Save me?)

From the claws of your fantasy? (What claws?)

My gaze didn’t sink—it’s floating free

Between two worlds that weave into my reality

Is there a prince? Nah, my friend sends a funny track

No reason to end the chat, I’m not looking back

Texting with those who really care

Who know the weight of my day and my wear

Advice that’s real, never empty or fake

Support that lifts me, not just shadows I take

Memes become our laughter, our secret tongue

Our shield against boredom, against the mundane run

You see armor, but it’s my life on the edge

Flying high, and I set the pledge

Who are you to try and “save” me? (Save me?)

From the claws of your fantasy? (What claws?)

My gaze didn’t sink—it’s floating free

Between two worlds that weave into my reality

Is there a prince? Nah, my friend sends a funny track

No reason to end the chat, I’m not looking back

He sees the picture, but not the meaning

Projects a fairy tale where I need saving

For him I’m not human, just a story to win

But I’m the pilot here—I choose who comes in

Strangers passing, shadows in the train

You don’t get to judge my domain

My “prince” is me, and my friends I adore

We don’t need your fiction, or imagined wars

Who are you to try and “save” me? (Save me?)

From the claws of your fantasy? (What claws?)

My gaze didn’t sink—it’s floating free

Between two worlds that weave into my reality

Behind my phone screen lies a vast, bright sphere

The train doors open, and my real life’s here
