Description
The weight of years is like a heavy backpack on your shoulders: tears, fears, fatigue – everything accumulates, but it doesn't break you. At first, you think you're about to crack under the weight, but then you suddenly realise: no, they won't break me, they won't wear me down. Somewhere inside, a stubborn spark ignites - and instead of another ‘ouch,’ a dance is suddenly born, almost a celebration. It seems to be about something heavy, but it sounds like you want to move, shake the dust off your shoulders and repeat: ‘You won't break me. Never.’

Uh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the wear and the tear and the tears and the fears. Uh.
Over years, over years, over years, over years. All the wear and the tear and the tears and the fears. Uh.

You can never break me down.

Yeah, yeah.
I don't know how to speak my truth to you 'cause I'm scared of losing myself.
What'd you do to me?
I've lost the memory of feeling.
How time touches my heart. Love, it was tonal.
Your voice was so hopeful.
All the wear and the tear and the tears and the fears over years, over years, over years, over years. Heavy load in my dreams.
All the wear and the tear and the tears and the fears over years, over years, over years, -over. . . Can you hear? Can you hear? -Tears are not my tears.
Your fears are not my fears. Tears are not my tears. Your fears are not my fears.

-You better run wild. -I've been living real wild.
Been here for a while.
-You let it all go.
-Being a child, living so wild, living so wild, living so wild. Why won't you heal with me?
Making beautiful.
-My heart's a grave. -You let it all go.
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate. Celebrate with a cheers.
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate.
