CITAZIONE
"Hi! Here are the lyrics for the first single 'Heavy' (coming out February 25). I wrote them while I was in Singapore visiting Pauli (The Rasmus). The song is based on an interesting conversation I had with a local taxi driver one night. We were talking about what it means to have the freedom of speech. He told me a story of a bird in a golden cage, where all the beauty and wonders of life has been brought infront of him but only thing he really wants is freedom. He asked me to write a song about it, so I went back to my hotel and did it that night. I really hope he's able to hear this song one day!"www.laurimusic.com/music Heavy
They built you a cage, of diamonds and gold
Most beautiful place, for you to grow old
They brought you the Moon, and served you the lie
And all that you wanted, was freedom to fly
It's heavy
But you are not the only one
Who's tired of giving
Afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the crown on your head never felt this, heavy
Harness your rage, take a leap of faith
To claim back your soul, before it's too late
Show them no fear, sing them goodbye
Leave all but your heart, and you're free to fly
It's heavy
But you are not the only one
Who's tired of giving
Afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the weight of the world never felt this, heavy
Take the evident leap of faith
Don't you be afraid
It's heavy
But you are not the only one
Who's tired of giving
Afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the cross that you bear never felt this, heavy
You are not the only one
Tired of living
Afraid of the oblivion
Cause the crown on your head, the smile that you wear
The cross that you bear never felt this, heavy
(You are not the only one)
The crown on your head never felt this
Heavy
