Cheer Me On

A mirror in which you can no longer recognise your own reflection, and a heart that beats stubbornly for the sake of someone else's gaze. A song about how easy it is to lose yourself if you live your whole life for applause, and how scary it is to hear your own voice as a stranger's one day. These lines are painful and honest: the desire to be loved, even if it means putting on a mask. But sooner or later, the mask cracks, and instead of brilliance, all that remains is a plea not to let it disappear completely.
