Lyric

A culmination of 20 years of vocal experience.

From fairy-like whispers and delicate, sweet melodies to raw, unrestrained death growls, this song moves freely between contrasting vocal styles to express the pain of having one's true self slowly carved away.

Have you ever had someone destroy your dreams?

"You should do this if you want to succeed."
"You should create something brighter."
"People will understand you better that way."

Words like these strip away individuality, deny the worlds we create, and allow others to define who we are supposed to be.

In a world that demands even our pain be reshaped into something easier for others to understand, we are expected to become someone else's version of ourselves.

With this voice, I set fire to the "ideal me"
built from other people's dreams and expectations.

This is a song of rage, prayer, and farewell.
A song about reclaiming the identity that was taken away.
