    Lyrics:
    Watch me get it get it wrong at the top of my lungs
    While you front for every one, while you tip toe for fun
    I can scream until your ears bleed, you're gonna never hear me
    You hear what you want, but you never wanted me
    Watch me get it get it wrong at the top of my lungs
    While you front for every one, while you tip toe for fun
    I can scream until your ears bleed, you're gonna never hear me
    You hear what you want, but you never wanted me
    Careful, you don't wanna mess up, do you?
    Fake brave face, I see right through you
    Standing in place 'cause
    Denial is the way to go, at least that's what you told me, so
    Cover you ears when you don't wanna know
    For whatever you hear you're held responsible
    Are you scared you might open your mouth
    And feel the horror if nothing comes out?
    Do you think you're safe, frozen in place?
    Run for cover just in case
    I am not afraid to fall
    You can watch me lose it all
    I'll get it wrong, 'til I get it right
    At least I'm making scenes in the meantime
    Watch me, watch me
    Watch me get it get it wrong at the top of my lungs
    While you front for every one, while you tip toe for fun
    I can scream until your ears bleed, you're gonna never hear me
    You hear what you want, but you never wanted me
    All eyes on you, we're watching you
    It's too bad you're too stuck to move
    Too bad you wouldn't know what to do
    If the right thing walked right up to you
    It's none steps forward, none steps back
    No harm, no foul, you play like that?
    Your game sucks, you need a new one
    Your game sucks, make a new one up
    Up the ante, up the drive,
    Slow down - is this how you feel inside?
    Torn in the middle like you can't decide,
    Can't step up to save your life
    I'm calling it, you're full of shhh
    More scared to make noise than you care to admit
    Are you scared you might open your mouth
    And feel the horror if nothing comes out?
    Do you think you're safe, frozen in place?
    Run for cover just in case
    I am not afraid to fall
    You can watch me lose it all
    I'll get it wrong, 'til I get it right
    At least I'm making scenes in the meantime
    I am not afraid to fall
    You can watch me lose it all
    I'll get it wrong, 'til I get it right
    At least I'm making scenes in the meantime
    Watch me, watch me
    No time left to play it safe, no time to bend
    The worst mistake you'll ever make is trying to blend
    No time left to play it safe, no time to bend
    The worst mistake you'll ever make is trying to blend
    Are you scared you might open your mouth
    And feel the horror if nothing comes out?
    Do you think you're safe, frozen in place?
    Run for cover just in case
    I am not afraid to fall
    You can watch me lose it all
    I'll get it wrong, 'til I get it right
    At least I'm making scenes in the meantime
    I am not afraid to fall
    You can watch me lose it all
    I'll get it wrong, 'til I get it right
    At least I'm making scenes in the meantime
    Watch me
    Watch me get it get it wrong at the top of my lungs
    While you front for every one, while you tip toe for fun
    I can scream until your ears bleed, you're gonna never hear me
    You hear what you want, but you never wanted me

    I adore this song. It avoids both of the most dominant themes of either being an unstoppable, unbreakable stone, or being a downtrodden, broken wreck. It balances beautifully in the middle with simply taking chances, being human, failing, falling, but at least bloody trying. It isn't hopeful exactly, it is sober. And I love it.

    “You hear what you want, but you never wanted me” is SO FUCKING powerful. It definitely saves you a lot of time to realize that the person you’re trying to reach doesn’t want to be reached and never intended to make that an option from the start. It’s definitely something k need to remember.

      I actually didn't even get his song, until a friend told me it's one of his favorites, so I listened to it again, this time as if it was him singing, and I just like,
      "Why you lil shit-" as everything clicked into place.
      Because I'm also the type of person this should be addressed to. I love this song because of the message and I'm so glad to be conscious of that now.

  • @Wind_Cursed

    I'll admit, there have been so many times I have listened to this song and just thought "Ouch" because of just how much this song calls me out. I'm a people pleaser, and I am also so indecisive because of being so afraid I might take a wrong step or I'll do or say somthing that will make me seem stupid. So I try WAY too hard to be perfect and someone that no one could possibly hate on. So, yes, this song feels like it calls me out and so it kinda hurts when I listen to it 😅😂
    Like, specific lines that I feel call me out:
    "Careful, you don't wanna mess up, do you?"
    "Standing in place cause
    Denial is the way to go"
    "Are you scared you might open your mouth
    And feel the horror if nothing comes out?
    Do you think you're safe, frozen in place?
    Run for cover, just in case"
    "All eyes on you, we're watching you
    It's too bad you're too stuck to move
    Too bad you wouldn't know what to do
    If the right thing walked right up to you
    It's none steps forward
    And none steps back
    No harm, no foul, you play like that?
    Your game sucks, you need a new one
    Your game sucks, make a new one up
    Up the ante, up the drive
    Slow down
    Is this how you feel inside?
    Torn in the middle like you can't decide
    Can't step up to save your life
    I'm calling it, you're full of shh
    More scared to make noise than you care to admit"
    And, of course
    "No time left to play it safe, no time to bend
    The worst mistake you'll ever make is trying to blend"

    Is just me, or does the rapping instrumental sound kinda like Sugalite's theme from Steven Universe?
    Oh well, nice song.

    I mean I lOVE ALL of ICON for Hire songs, but this is the one that speaks to me personally
    sorry for being that one random person that starts stating their life in the comments, but if you don't mind I'd like to say why does this speak to me
    If you check my channel , ( not spamming just saying ) you'll see that my 'thing' is drawing ... but I've always been afraid of sharing my art that I didn't feel was "good enough" and thats why my speed painting channel is still nowhere near where I'd love it to be
    I mean I use other media , such as Instagram ( @anikixvi) artstation ( Alicia.artstaion.com) and Tumblr ( Alicia-art.tumblr.com) many other - but these are the main ..but still , I have A lot and a lot of incomplete I never let them see the light because they just aren't 'perfect'
    On the other hand , I've always had so many stories I wanted to draw, but also because I don't believe my art is still not 'good enough' thats why I've been putting it off ... for the past 15 years or so ....
    Seriously .. If id just kept getting it '**Wrong**' from 15 years ago, I'd have definitely gotten it '**Right**" by now
    Think I might start ... right now
    For YT I'll go dig out some old SP on my desktop and start uploading again
    And the story as well
    Wish me luck ( It's still scary af (ó ﹏ ò。)

    Remind me of my whole life hehehe you can watch me lose it all scream untill your ears bleed is this how you feel inside I'm not afraid to fall you can watch me lose it all. These parts remind me of myself and my past and who I am and how I got in trouble at school for being myself I literally drew DEMON WINGS and wrote MY BLACK SOUL how is that bad it's a DRAWING and I got a theat assessment for defending my brother from rude comments I literally said if you touch him you can deal with me they literally agreed and they were going to fight my brother and the next day I find out they told there mother if you gonna fight someone that's between me and you and a couple days later they try to jump me and that's a bitch move so I told him to fight me one on one and my brother rides on his bike comes with a metal baseball bat and the kids run like u gonna get into a fight don't run from the person who u originally tryed to fight

    Doesn't she sing "While you tic-tac-toe for fun" instead of tip-toe? It doesn't make any sense to tip-toe for fun and there's clearly a third vowel in that bit
