Testo I Will Overcome. - RAYE
Testo della canzone I Will Overcome. (RAYE), tratta dall'album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
I'll overcome (she will, she will, she will)
I'll overcome (yes, indeed, yes, indeed, yes, indeed, she will)
There's a thin grey veil over her horizon
The wall between hope and despair
She exists behind it, she will overcome
500 steps left to make it to the front door
My red high heels click, click, four many too drinks
I feel my backbone threaten to greet the concrete below
I mean, who wants to be in Paris drunk and alone?
Where the phantom of a past love lingers in the cracks of
The cobblestones that I march on, and it haunts me and it taunts me
And su-su-su-suddenly in a reflection of a Chanel boutique
Window, I can see the old me and I hate her
I feel syrup strands of blue moonlight pour through the clouds
To find me out like a spotlight, as if heaven's watching down
To illustrate briefly the state of my mind
I have black cat-eye glasses, so I look chic as I cry
And it's funny, some people say I remind them of Amy
Some spit through their keyboards I'll never amount
And the evil in insults, the arrows from your tongue
Is the same devils you tortured her with
Anyhow, I
I'll overcome (she will, she will, she will)
I'll overcome (yes, indeed, yes, indeed, yes, indeed)
When this wicked world wants to whisper
"You cannot, you won't be, you will not
So go home and shut up, and go sleep"
This is a song to remind me, since I needed one
I will overcome
There's a thin grey veil over her horizon
The wall between hope and despair (so, yes, I will)
She exists behind it (yes, I will, yes, I will)
She will overcome, will overcome
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, I will, oh
500 steps back, and I was doing so well (so well)
Whilst scrolling, I sighed (I'm so jealous)
Of everyone online who is so much happier
And content and complete
To feel better, I shall arrange a sad little feast
Where I will jump up and down on my bed in my grief
And I'll play Edith Piaf, and I'll dance, and I'll eat
Chocolate cake, and I'll have no regrets 'til I
Wake up and hate me now, I must know, anyhow
I will keep on
I'll overcome (she will, she will, she will)
I'll overcome (yes, indeed, yes, indeed, yes, indeed)
When this wicked world wants to whisper
"You cannot, you won't be, you will not
So go home and shut up, and go sleep"
This is a song to remind me, since I needed one
500 steps left, maybe I have lost count
My battery died, so I'm not sure if I turn left or turn right
As my eyes gather tears, it's as if it was staged
How the night skies above start to thunder and rain
Like a Hollywood movie with some sad exceptions
No lover to kiss or promised happy endings
I'll swing 'round this street lamp and I'll give you a story
You may say I look crazy, but I won't even care
Aren't we all broken people, just perfect how to hide it?
And life's guarantee's that we're all going to die
So am I going to live like this all of my life?
I'm not okay right now, but I'll get there somehow, I
I'll overcome, I, I
I'll overcome (she will)
When this wicked world wants to whisper
"You cannot, you won't be, you will not
So go home and shut up, and go sleep"
This is my song to remind me, I needed one
I will overcome
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There's a thin grey veil over her horizon
And it is the wall between hope and despair
She exists behind it, she will overcome
