Oh. My. GOD. Blixemi, I'm crying. This is BEAUTIFUL. What a touching, personal song! You really just took a bat to my knees today, huh? Oh my god. 100/10 More please!
Everyone’s saying how great this is and it definitely is but Blix, are you ok? If not, me and all your fans have your back. To you and anyone who relates to this song, stay strong. You are so worth it. You’ve got this. Everything’s going to be ok even if it doesn’t feel like it now 💞
Gosh, I appreciate this comment so much. It really made me feel better since sometimes I feel like I need to change or some crap but I know I don’t need to. Thanks ^u^
umm..sorry if im offending anyone but what is trauma? sorry lmao im dumb I dont know a lot of things..I might know what it is but just dont know what its called tho..but ya wut is it?
Banana Gamer Girl it’s when you go through something that sticks with you your whole life either a event or something someone did that every time brought up gives anxiety like abuse or something like that I’ve been through almost everything so I understand this song so well
I-I don't have a comment. For once in my entire life I am jokeless. I don't have a swipe or a jab. I can't see one flaw in this. For once, someone has left me breathless. For once, someone has left me bare and I have no shield. You do not know how much I relate to this. You do not know how much this describes my life. You don't know how much I've looked for something that is this. I will watch this over and over until the day I die. Blixemi, you may have changed my life. You don't know how many years I spent wishing that she would see me for who I am, and I know that she never will. But with this song, I think I may finally be able to let go. I truly was a chameleon, changing my thoughts to turn on my faithful friends and changing my attitude to use my negativity as a shield. I think there's a chameleon in all of us and, one by one, we'll let it free. Blixemi, you have let your chameleon free with this song. And you may have let mine go too. I can't put into words how much this song means to me. I'm sure you'll be okay. I'm sure we all will.
I sent this to my manipulator to explain why the thing she loves isn’t what I actually am and she stopped being all manipulative because she didn’t realize she was doing it.
This song hit me so hard and I don't know why. I can relate to it without even realizing it. So thank you, Blixemi, not only for this beautiful song, but also for this chance to learn.
Even if I don't know the full story. The comparison to a Chameleon makes so much much sense and it's such a deep meaning. It feels so deep because I can relate to changing myself for others. Hope making and showing this song helped you Blixemi.
I think this is relatable for so many people out there- whether in a mentally abusive households, a toxic relationship of any sort, this song brought tears to my eyes, good job Blixemi, the emotion in this song was so heavy, yet so beautiful.
It's also relatable for people who grew up in okay houses and healthy relationships Specifically for me I thought I had to think like my parents without being told that so even though they weren't what I thought I adopted their beliefs Took me a while but I think I finally figured out who I am and I couldn't be happier
So at first when I watched/listened to this, I was like 'oh the changing colours are a pretty cool reference to the chameleon', however as I listened more and more, I realised that the colours could have hidden meanings. It's pretty clear that this song is an abuser and the victim, so maybe the colours have more significance. Now, I'll be going from colour order in the video, and I'll only be using the negative traits of those colours because it's clear this song is quite dark. Yellow: the colour yellow, in it's negative form, is used to symbolise cowardice and deceit. Now, since the victim looks young when they are still considered 'yellow', we're going to assume that this is when the abuse started to affect them. The victim could be cowering because of the abuser, so they turn to using lies and deception to blend in, as told by the lyrics. Blue: the colour blue is quite obvious. depression, sadness, etc. I'm going to assume that the victim here went through a depression-like state because of hiding themselves and having to deal with the abuser. Blue can also mean emotionlessness and unfriendliness, so maybe this is the start of the victim trying to fight back against the abuse. Red: the colour red is also pretty obvious, as it symbolises anger, stress, and defiance. This is when the victim is finally done with the abuser and lashes out, as heard in how powerful their voice is at this part. They're defying against the abuse, wanting to get away from it and the abuser themselves, even if it means lashing out and yelling. Grey/Monochrome: the monochromatic colours used at the end are to symbolise detachment, coldness towards people, and also depression-like features. The victim finally got away from the abuser, however they now feel lost and alone. It's a sad reality, but some victims of abuse actually prefer to be with their abuser, because they genuinely feel alone once they're gone. The way the victim's voice grows quieter at the end clearly shows this, proving that they feel alone after the abuser left. Anyways, I hope this was able to bring insight into this amazing piece. Blix, you did an amazing job and the way I can hear the emotions in this song and the lyrics is beautiful.
I can relate to this alot. Occasionally when I was really little my dad would hit me and he hit hard. I used to just hide in small spaces where he couldn't reach me or I could blend in. Maybe that's why I like small spaces now, because that's the only place I was safe. Then after my parents split up my dad neglected me because my sister was more important to him. I tried to do things that would make him proud of me but it never worked. Eventually my sister stopped coming over to my dad's house and they started emotionaly abusing me. The told me I was a disgrace and that I was embarrassing. It's gotten better some but I will never forget how much he hurt me.
Woah that hit deep and was so emotional yet so powerful at the same time. You did a great job with this, your voice, the lyrics, the music; everything about this song is beautiful Blix
This is amazing Blix. At this point all we can do is stay strong. This song really hit me. This song, lyrics, the melody are just beautiful! Look at you now! You making many people on the internet have a happy place! Your videos entertain us, and I'm glad that we have someone like you! ❤️
As a person who has been forced to live in an environment where I need to change “My color” in order not to be hurt, physically or psychologically, I find this a touching and personal song. Thank you, Blixemi.
You can tell, this wasn't a half-way effort. It was an escape. When you realize how much was put into this song and how much was stabbed within us all, this really is her greatest. I just want to make sure that she knows, more than anything else, we understand. We can help. And you can be you. You have no need to make yourself so you can fit their needs. You are a chameleon, you can blend in or stand out, and be any color of the rainbow that you want to be. None of us are alone. If we are all breaking for somebody else, that isn't good. You need to tell somebody. Don't be afraid. Be bold, and stay you.
Try to blend in, Stay inside their graces. Spent so long inside those walls. . Walls that trapped me, On that night collapsed me, Yet I was so used to it, That I called it home. I really am a chameleon aren't I.. Hope you'll love me after all hit me hard. I hope one day she'll love me after all too Haha. Though it hurt me, I csnt help but still want it?.
I admittedly avoided listening to this for ages because "chameleon" and the thumbnail just kind of told me this would be a heart wrencher, and Tennelle forwarned me. Listening today and just sob k thanks for the pain.
I've been looking for a song like this, someone who sings of being a "chameleon" and forgetting yourself. I like the choice of chameleon as I always antagonized myself with what I called it (catfishing, lying, acting). just in the past year I've broken away from being a chameleon myself, and worked to figure out who I am. its nice to see that echoed in a song and know I'm not alone in feeling this way
Wow that was... wow. I can’t even begin to describe it. Every part of it was amazing, from the lyrics, to the vocals, to the background art. You really knocked it out of the park with this!
*I'll be complete* and *Chameleon* ? I hope you're alright,, Your songs help me really much. There's a tone, an atmosphere that I can't place into words, that just touches my heart the way no other songs can.
I, I can't relate fully, I dont think, but I, I understand to it, I, Blixemi, are you good? This song hits hard, and it speaks volumes, I hope you feel better Blixemi, all of the fans and stuff are looking out for you!! So keep on keepin on!! Cuz you're epic, and anyone else who relates to this, or is sad, y'all epic!! Ohand also some of me reading way too deep into colours and lyrics! Or not digging deep enough 0-0 *Lets start with yellow & the lil kiddo, as thats how it starts,* I think yellow represents, complicit and naivete, also maybe some shame? Seeing the issue with them not the person, the kid is also sitting in a relatively closed off form, trying to protect them self and keep themselves safe, even if it means acting like they're fine, given yellow also represents joy and happiness, so they may have been acting like everything was all fine and good, and swell, despite the fact they knew it wasn't, orr *Ok on to blue & Like, teen(?)* So as we know blue represents sad/depressed, fear, nervousness The person is also drawn looking nervous, and looking down, "You're like a glass thats built to shatter. Your pieces sharp- ...but they're mine to clean." I feel that it means the person who made them sort of form an act and a facade (Lets call them Corren,) often lashes out, and lets say "shatters" in anger, leaving the child to clean up the after math, "But I've grown so used to you, the cuts are home to me." makes me think that the child grew more complicit, just accepting this was happening, and changing themselves, to try and be more liked, to avoid "this", "My colours bleed" makes me think colours represent *them*, and who the child is as a person is slowly bleeding into their fake "colours", the new fake colours slowly *becoming* them, "Hope you'll love me after all." Makes me think Corren may be like a parent, guardian or potentially sibling, (I would have suggested potentially a lover, but I dont like the idea of an adult and a child, presuming that Corren was an adult when they seemed to be a young child) I'll be presuming a guardian of sorts due to the fact they live with them, and its more common for guardians to live with their kids than siblings to live with their siblings, I think anyways, Corren probably would say: "I hate you" a lot, or remarks like "I wish I never had you" Is what I get from that, "I’m easy, please believe me I won’t give you one reason. To see beyond my camouflage as your chameleon." The camouflage is their act, they're slowly getting more and more into this new person, *OK!! Finally onto Red, ill call this late teen/adult phase, sorry blue was a lot to unpack,* Red usually means anger, rage, in my books anyways, "Built by a lifetime never knowing where I stand I’ve changed so much of me keep your peace I’ve forgotten who I am." The person who they are now, who was "Built by a lifetime never knowing where I stand", they aren't *THEM* anymore, they're a construct, an "actor" of a never ending act, and they play the "I’m easy. I’m obedient," Easy, obedient, and good child who cleans up after Correns "shatters" They've changed basically so much of them, for so long, they have no clue who they are anymore, (which is the part I probably relate to the most), *Grey now I guess!* "My colour has faded too." A short line, that hits hard, yet again, colour probably refers to their personality, who *they* are, and without Corren, they're left alone, with "themself", and without the cameras blaring, watching their every move, theres no reason to act anymore, but the act went on, for so long, they don't know where the act starts, and they begin, where their colours are and the camouflage lays, the colours all spilled together to create a grey hue, This bit where it goes through Yellow, Blue and Red, im going to try analyse, Yellow: "Try to blend in," represents they first tried to hide, be unnoticed Blue: "Stay inside their graces." I feel represents sucking up, becoming someone else so they'd be loved and praised, Red (and the others too, flipping through the three colours): "Spent so long inside those walls!" I feel that represents, the anger pent up from over the years, the suffocation felt, they spent so long trying to blend in, changing themselves that: "My colours bleed As I make believe It's kept me safe and warm so long!" Their colours bled too much into their act and now, they cant find the colors of before, the colours are repeatedly shifting in this bit as I feel they rapidly try to find *them* in the mess of colours, but they cant find who they we're before. "I'm scared to show-! Or let people know-... Can't give them one reason To see beyond my camouflage... as their chameleon" If im completely transparent, I have no clue what this means fully, it could mean a plethora, but imma only explore one as its almost 5am for me, Ok!! "I'm scared to show-!" "Or let people know-..." Their worried, and fearful to tell people what happened with Corren,, "Can't give them one reason To see beyond my camouflage as their chameleon" Due to their complicit nature/act they developed from their home life, they may have gained some "toxic" relationships(??) Because they're now someone elses chameleon, They feel unable to show people the real them because, they probably dislike who "them" is, AnYwaYS iTs 5Am nOw Thanks for reading!!! Sorry if its worse at the end, I always am terrible at closing things off, anyways the colour thing, could just be because they're the three primary colours, sorry sorry bye!
As a person who can relate to the song completely, I can say, for the most part, you're correct! Yellow, i'd say in my experience, is fear, and not fully understanding why "Corren" yells and hates why they do. Blue means depressed and emotional (or the opposite, not emotional art all) They are trying to figure out what they did wrong, and what they did to deserve it. That phase is very sad for most people. This stage is when I had my "emo phase". Red does mean anger, rage, when they finally piece together what is actually happening. When the person singing it realizes what's happening, (In my case, my parents got divorced and my mom remarried and my dad got jealous, so he made me travel alone across the country and I had to act like I loved visiting for years when I hated it and I really just wanted to cry :,) ), they are scared to show their real emotions to "Corren", so they usually put their emotions off on other people, (Also known as bullying). I am very embarrassed to admit, but I was a bully for about a semester. You were kind of wrong with grey, though. Instead of all the colors mixed together, there are no colors at all. they all disappear. You don't know what you feel. You just feel numb. Nothing. And most of all, you feel ALONE. This is when you might need help from a friend, or therapist. Now, you said you were confused about the lyrics "I'm scared to show-! Or let people know-... Can't give them one reason To see beyond my camouflage... as their chameleon" It means the person or singer is scared to tell Coren, or let people see, their true feelings. Thats-Thats all it really means. Throughout the entire song, thats what it means.
For some reason I can't see my last comment. Or most of them at all. I just wanted to say how much this hits me and how much I relate to this. You are such a wonderful, inspiring, talented, creative person Blixemi. You don't have to be what others want you to be or see in you. Don't let anyway silence your voice or wash away your colours. You just have to be yourself and stay true. We love you as you are
This song carries so much weight and passion. I remember the first time I heard it when it first was released, I cried. By the third verse I was sobbing, and replayed it several times. Each time was a tear jerker, and it became my favorite Blixemi song, and one of my favorite songs ever. The colors give so much meaning - especially when the abuser also goes through the colors. Both victim and abuser go through yellow, blue, and red, but only the victim goes into gray, and then at the very end a brownish gray. I think that's important; it represents a cycle of abuse, and how the final victim breaks free from this cycle, never to be an abuser to anyone else. In my opinion, the little chameleon isn't just an art style choice to reflect the song; it's an important part of the story. The chameleon is the tiny bit of the victim, the part of them that wants to be free from this suffering. At yellow, our victim looks about 8 years old. They're small and fragile, but heavily dependant on the abuser, and can't think of ever leaving them, hence why the chameleon, their inner desire to be free, isn't interacting with them. It's there, and waiting to be acknowledged, but isn't actively engaging with the victim. Instead it sits beside them, waiting for them to realize it's there, if only they'll realize it. While the abuser is yellow, they're rationalizing that this is okay. They were once a victim to this to, and they're telling themselves their okay, which means their victim will also be okay. The little victim, we'll call them Z, since they're the end of the abuse cycle, is yellow, not only to reflect the abuser, but because in early stages of abuse, the victim is told that it's their fault. They did something to deserve this. This deceit and deception causes the victim to believe this and thus not try to escape the abuse. Z is yellow because they've deceived themselves into believing that this is okay. That they've done something to deserve this, and don't deserve to escape; which also ties into the chameleon being distant. They're purposely ignoring the little voice inside that telling them it's not okay for this to happen. Analyzing Z's clothing, they look like pajamas, which may mean the abuse is worse at night. Z's sleeves are also short, which means the physical abuse has yet to occur. At least not on Z's arms, as we see no bruises. The early form of abuse tends to be verbal and emotional abuse in young children, which is what Z looks to be. "Like the smoke foretells the fire," may elude to the abuser having a smoking issue, involving cigarettes and/or drugs. Z's emotional shutdown begins in this stage. Z begins to shove down all their desires, wants, and feelings, so that the abuser will like them. The next stage is blue. Here Z looks to be about 14. The chameleon is now interacting with Z, as they've finally embraced that this isn't okay, however they don't know how to voice this. The emotional abuse from the past several years has led them to believe it's all their fault, and so even they Z recognizes this isn't healthy, they've yet to truly embrace that they need to escape this mess. Z is nervous as they look down at the chameleon, as seen by how they twiddle with their hands. The abuser is blue here to resemble that putting Z through the same abuse they went through only hurts them. Many abusers who come from a cycle of abuse suffer PTSD and depression, and the abuser takes it out on their victim. Z's sleeves get longer here, up to their elbows, and they're also in casual wear, which is indicative that physical abuse has begun and happens during the day. Z feels responsible for this, as the abuser is suffering as well. Z feels as though they have to take care of the abuser, who is fragile and sharp, and suffering because of them. The comparison to a glass bottle may also elude to a drinking problem. It's clear in Z's second blue verse that the physical abuse is heavy. They know they should stop the pattern, they know they shouldn't let this continue, but they still hold themselves accountable, and feel indebted to the abuser since they raised them. Without the abuser, Z doesn't know where they'd be, and they've long since accepted this is how the abuser communicates, and that even if it's not okay, they'll be fine. Z only wants to be loved, and believes if they're good enough, the abuser will love them. In the next stage, Z looks to be 18. Now a legal adult, Z fully embraces the chameleon, the little piece that's always been telling them this isn't okay. Z now knows they have to break free, and that this is the right thing to do. Z's sleeves are long, indicating that over the years the physical abuse has gotten severely worse. Z is red to indicate defiance, and a willingness and passionate desire to change. The abuser is red because they're angry. Z is the first person to break the chain of abuse, and so the abuser doesn't know how to handle this. All these years, Z has never spoken back, but now Z refuses to back down, and the abuser is flabbergasted. Z doesn't recognize who they are anymore, but still, they refuse to be a part of this any longer. Finally, Z leaves. Z is free and no longer bound to the abuser. But...now Z doesn't know what to do. Z is lost and struggling, and debates going back to the abuser, but instead the little voice inside them rings louder and truer than ever. Z can never go back there ever again. Gray represents the small in-between phase where Z doesn't know what to do anymore, but it quickly shifts into brownish gray. Her true color. Now, the chameleon is closer than ever, consoling and guiding her. Z suffers trauma, and doesn't know where to go from here. Their entire life revolved around the abuser, but now they're alone. Z is afraid, and afraid to trust and be themselves. But with their inner voice guiding them, the part that only ever wanted to be free, Z knows someday, somehow, they'll be okay. They've broken free from the mold, from that neverending cycle, and now it's up to them to decide their life.
Oh my Squirrelflight. The lyrics are just outstanding and the storyline of the song is so interesting and heart breaking. I love this song and it made me feel so many things at the same time. Gorgeous job (as always) Blix!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
“through years of bandages hands, you’d think i’d break the pattern. but i’ve grown so used to you the cuts are home to me.” that hit me. i’m going to come back to this song in one year to see if i feel better. thank you, blixemi.
My goodness. This song...it’s just...This is exactly how I am like at school. Always trying to change myself so that my friends can still hang out and talk to me. To change myself so that I can feel like I finally belong...To finally have friends. And then I hide who I really am from other people, but then they change again, and then I change with them so that they and I can still be friends. It becomes an endless cycle of wanting to be accepted by others that I forget that it’s okay to be myself. But then I find myself forgetting again... Only people I consider close know who I truly am...just some annoying high school kid that wants to be accepted.
I think that irl you would be a great friend if people would just be more open-minded towards people. For the most part, I'm a lone wolf but there are those people that I hold close. I want to make a little safe haven for outcasts like me, but I'm not really sure how. :/
Blix, are you okay? This song has so much passion I can tell it's not just a made-up story. Who hurt you, how, and where can I find them to make them suff- I mean, to talk it out with them.
Jeez those invisible ninjas and their invisible onions, they really went ham this time. In all seriousness, be yourself, I was trapped in a place where I couldn’t express myself without judgement, it was horrible. Just be yourself
ahh you have no idea how much I relate to this song, I have a covert narcissist mom, and it's really hard. I've gone through similar stages of my life like the ones you've presented. I hope that everything is ok and know that I love your content
Blix, this was an AMAZING song, and I really love it! It also worried me, though, and I just want to let you know that we are all here for you, ok? We all love you and you don’t need to change or fake who you are for us because we will love you no matter who you are :3 If you ever need help, all of us, your subscribers, viewers, patreons, friends, and family, will be there to support you. No matter what you’re going through or who you are. We love you Blix, and I hope you know that
Okay, little off-topic, but here are some song ideas: Flametail - A Flame Stuck In Ice (Or something like that) Onestar - The Darkness That Dragged Me (Again, something along those lines) Clearsky - I'll See You In The Sky Firestar/heart - The Fire In Me Bumblestripe - The Dove Flew Away Tigerstar - My Hollow Heart Leafstar- Lost And Found Blossomfall - A Mother Of Betrayal Tree - The Ghosts I See Brightheart/paw - What Am I Not Seeing? (Flametail's is about his mistake of falling into the ice.) (Onestar's is about his relationship with Darktail and his mate) (Clear skies is about how upset he is about Bright stream's death.) (Firestar/hearts is about his adventures when he was younger.) (Bumblestripe's is about his obsession with Dovewing.) (Tigerstar's is about his plans about destroying the Clans.) (Leafstar's is about her clan finding their way back with the others.) (Blossomfall's is about how mad she is with Millie.) (Tree's is about his power of being able to see ghosts.) (Brightheart/paws is about how she thinks of her face.) I hope you are doing okay! If you need support, I'm happy to help! I also hope you like my suggestions! It was a beautiful song and it made me cry.
Blixemi I don’t know what your going through but this song really hit my heart. We are here for you and we will always be there for you. After listening to this song I’m not lying when I say I cried. You are like a close friend to me and it hurts my heart to see you in pain. 💝💖
Dammit why does this have to be so accurate to my life… my mom burned in her opinions of me into my head and I can’t get them out now that I’m free. She literally told me to stop being myself because it made me ugly and wrong. I also felt faded. But find yourself a support system and you might find your colors again. As Tattletail would say: “no more mama”
I relate to this, but not exactly in the way everyone else seems to. At school, I try to fit it. To make myself fit the mold. But I never get it right. I cant be too quiet, they’ll judge me. I cant be too loud, they’ll call me annoying. I cant try to hard, they’ll call me a nerd. I cant not try, they’ll call me lazy. I cant act like a girl (I’m a trans guy), they’ll judge me for acting feminine. I cant act like a guy, they’ll call me weird. Ive lived so long like this, with people questioning my every move. It’s like I’m stuck in a maze and the only way out is to blend in and avoid the criticism. To be a chameleon. But once they leave, I’ll have nothing. No personality that’s actually mine. I’m nothing.
Honestly I relate to what you just said so much, I understand how you feel and I hope that we can both get through this - another trans guy with the same school situation
Normally, I don't comment on videos but this song touched at such a deep level that I just had to. The amount of feeling and pain in this song is something that resonates with me on a deeply personal level. Growing up in an abusive household and family drastically changes a person, and it leaves a permanent mark. I'm incredibly thankful that I was able to get out of the abusive situations I've been in in my life, ans doubly thankful for the people I now have who I know love and cherish me. Abuse can take a long time to heal from--and its effects never trully go away, but it does get better if you can take yourself out of that situation. Thank you so much for posting this song Blixemi. I hope you've gotten to a better point in your life now. 💕💕
This is so relatable. I try to let myself be the side character and support all my friends, and I somehow forget about myself. I've hid my anxiety from everyone for so long, I guess I put my colors to help them for so long. I didn't realize what my true colors were. This is my new favorite song, and the most relatable song. And my Parents both hurt me by being so strict, I only act good and happy because I'm scared of what they'll do If I tell them. Sorry for boring anyone with my story! Thank you, Blix, once again!
This song has a truly deep meaning that I'm sure relates to a lot of people, even to me in a way. This is honestly one of your greatest works and it astonishes me how far you've grown, and just know that every single one of your fans is so proud of you Blixemi
I’m not crying... It’s just a stupid pieces of dirt that got into both of my eyes... And the dirt got into the same place in each eye... And it is effecting them both the same exact way... Hehe..... But seriously tho Blix, we all will catch you if you fall, if you are feeling down. Beautiful song girl, keep going.
I just found out that Blixemi got her songs on Spotify! Now I can listen to all of them!!! Thank you soooo much Blix! I love all the songs you make! ❤️❤️❤️
"Built by a lifetime never knowing where I stand. I've changed so much of me to keep your peace, I've forgotten who I am." Oh my dayssss, you just expressed my mental wounds better than I ever could. Thanks for making this Blixemi, this was really moving for me.
"Through years of bandaged hands, you'd think id break the pattern. But I've grown so used to you, the cuts are home to me." These words are so relatable.
I needed this tonight thanks blixemi I always have to act in a pleasing way to my dad or he will explode Over time you learn wanting to cry and not being able to is worse than actually crying Blixemi thank you so much for writing these great songs and making my life easier with your amazing music.
I made 2 songs, but theyre really bad..I dont even understand them and they stink. I dont even know what the first one was about, and the second was about my dog favoriting my dad and not opening his eyes to realize that there are more people who care about him than my dad :/ he only notices my dad..I deleted the doc tho so I cannot share it :c sorry
WAIT I DIDNT HOLD ON Gotta Let Things Go You chew on your bone All day Just waiting for him to come home And when he does Your ready for him You greet him you follow him wherever he goes You love him Until he leaves you again I know you love him I know you want him I know you need him But sometimes the people you love aren't always Home Open your eyes Wake up and smell the coffee Look around you Cause he isn't the only one that loves you Try to actually pay attention To the other people that love you But all you do Is ignore them I know you love him I know you want him I know you need him But sometimes You have to let things go When he's outside You whine and you cry Because you want him near you But he can't always be with you He got other things to do So you gotta learn to Let things go I know you want him I know you need him I know you love him But you have to let things go Ohhh Have to let things go Go You gotta let it go (2 times) Open your eyes Wake up and smell the coffee Look around you Cause he isn't the only one that loves you Try to actually pay attention To the other people that love you But all you do Is ignore them But all you have to do All you gotta learn Is pretty simple All you gotta do Is to let it go Let things go
I found out that I also made a warrior cats song..instead of dont stop believe in its We are forest cats I’m in Thunderclan. Over there is a Riverclan. I can spot a Windclan. And over the Thunderpath is Shadowclan. We live in the forest All protected by Starclan This life never stops It goes on and on and on and on Cats, waiting Just to catch a mouse They do this everyday All clans, hunting just to survive They’re prey, hiding somewhere in the night! Working hard to get my prey Everybody wants some prey But since its leaf-bare It’s so hard Some clans will win; Some clans will loose Some were born by a twoleg nest Oh, the fights never end They go on and on and on and on Cats, waiting Just to hunt a mouse They do this everyday They’re prey, hiding somewhere in the night! We are forest cats We team up sometimes But thats only in the Darkest Hours We are forest cats We fight for life We are forest cats When we die we go to Starclan Thunderclan,Riverclan Windclan,Shadowclan Skyclan, Rogue or Kittypet We live in the forest! ik its odd lmao
Before I start let me just say, this song is amazing! You are a very talented person but with that said, Are you okay? After listening to this song a few times I started to feel as though something wasn't right. And after reading the comments I have been starting to worry. We are all here for you and no matter what happened we will support you and help you get through what ever this is. You are my idol and it hurts me to see you in pain. We are all here for you Blix!
Oh my goodness ! That was so amazing and so deep and hits me on so many emotional levels. This song is exactly about what I thought it would be about (I'm getting some serious I'll Be Complete flashbacks) I love all your songs and it's great to hear some more personal pieces. Idk what happened but I can relate so much (I know I say all the time) I always tried to find out who I am (I still dont know it) and be myself and go my own way but always felt and still feel like everyone hates and only critisizes me (for every little, obvious thing I know myself and heard 1000 times but can't control or is just who I am) I can't fight it anymore and am so tired of trying to Prove It (reference entirely intended) that there's more to me than All That They See (ok I stop Xp) in me. So now that I am officially an adult, I've also become a Chameleon, nothing more but a reflection, a shadow of my former self. I feel like I betrayed and threw everything away, I used to be and fight and stand for, just to fit into that image and avoid more trouble. But at a high price, that has caused only more trouble for me. May I also say that the 2nd Blixemi totally reminds me of Frozen's Anna because of the hair ? (Though such songs always remind me more of Elsa) But enough about me. Blixemi, you are such a great, talented, creative, inspiring person. You don't have to fit in and be everything everyone else wants you to be or see you as. You just have to be yourself and stay true. Don't let anyone ever silence that voice inside you. Nor wash away your colours. I also gotta admit, I want to write my own sings since...before I even found your channel in...2015 ? O.O But I know nothing about music and still feel so insecure. But you are one of the reasons and inspirations that helps me keep my dream alife. And I'm rambling about myself again. I just wanna let you know Blix, you are a great person and we love you just the way you are
I don't know if I said it before, but I have a love-hate relationship with this song. The only part I hate about it, is how much I GET it. How much I understand, and how much I KNOW. I hate singing along in pain knowing exactly how it feels. But, I love it because it's just SO good and the emotion, the melody, the SINGING!! UGH! I love it so much!
Wow.. I can't even begin to describe how much this hits. And as someone who's changed to make others happy for so long..as someone who no longer feels many emotions from hiding them for so long..as someone who hides behind a mask everyday, even around their own family.. This hit home much harder than I expected. And I'm sure lots of people out there can relate.
The pain in this so real, it bothers me how many people in the comments are saying how relatable this is, no one should feel like this.. and yet we do, i do, heck, the comment below me probably does. This so beautiful and touching and some of these words hit me so deep, these words are the exactly thoughts I've had, and yet there is a sense of unity, we all feel like this and we aren't alone, we are a beautiful group of chameleons in the comments section that can rely on each other.
This song is so heartfelt, and really relatable to me. I always have these feeling bottled up, and I pretend they're not there, and I put on a fake smile every day to keep people content, and see me as a normal person, and I hide how I feel, so it really helps to know there are people out there feeling the same way. Sorry this is so long! Have a great day!
"Hope you look past all my flaws" That right there hit close to home. I have VERY bad social anxiety and this is what I think every time I leave my home. Thank you, Blixemi, for making this song!!
To anyone relating to this song just know you are loved and you are strong to be here today, and if you’re going through something trust me, it will get better just stay strong, you’ll find the light at the end of the tunnel. You are a wonderful person and I want you to a have a nice day :) 💕
oh. this hits hard. to blixemi: it's been a while since ive watched your videos. im not a part of the fandom anymore. but this song hits so hard, hits close to home. im not a warrior anymore, but i pray to starclan that you're alright, or will get there soon. love you.
I see if you make another song and this is just.... You've upped your game I can tell, you made such good songs and now this song is just truly amazing.
When I looked up the channel to hear sol's song again I saw this at first I thought it was warriors but then saw no tittle to what it was and after watching left me scratching my head Is something wrong if something's not right we are all hear for you we have all noticed the thinning upload schedule only 2 songs and a very few amount of other throughout 2 years. We are all here for you and remember as all ways you will be complete.
Oh wow, Blix. This song really hit me in the chest. The changing background, the song, the melody, this is amazing. I don't care that this isn't warrior cat based, this is so cool. Keep up the great work.
Bro I literally have the chills❣ This song is something I can relate to on a personal level. Also, I am sending good vibes your way. You cannot stop them. They are coming.💝

Can we use this song for a MAP?
Why is it impossible for you to make bad music?
You posted let's go
Ok but Blix is this song about your experiences? Or was it just an idea?
Oh. My. GOD.
Blixemi, I'm crying. This is BEAUTIFUL. What a touching, personal song! You really just took a bat to my knees today, huh? Oh my god. 100/10 More please!

I agree with you Tennelle
YESEXACTLY
Tennelle I agree with you!
Ok
Everyone’s saying how great this is and it definitely is but
Blix, are you ok? If not, me and all your fans have your back. To you and anyone who relates to this song, stay strong. You are so worth it. You’ve got this. Everything’s going to be ok even if it doesn’t feel like it now 💞
Gosh, I appreciate this comment so much. It really made me feel better since sometimes I feel like I need to change or some crap but I know I don’t need to. Thanks ^u^
I hope you're better now. Amazing song, BTW.
HollyBearr We all have your back!
Yeah Blix! We’ve got your back!
i’m only a minute in but i can already tell this is about trauma. I can’t tell you how much i relate to this
Me too 😭💞 God bless you, friend. Hope you’re alright :))
Soon as I just saw the title, I was afraid cuz I knew exacly this is what it would be about.
Welcome to the club. I swear I am not crying right now XS
umm..sorry if im offending anyone but what is trauma? sorry lmao im dumb I dont know a lot of things..I might know what it is but just dont know what its called tho..but ya wut is it?
Banana Gamer Girl there’s a ton of information online but basically trauma is the mental effect of any distressing event
Banana Gamer Girl it’s when you go through something that sticks with you your whole life either a event or something someone did that every time brought up gives anxiety like abuse or something like that I’ve been through almost everything so I understand this song so well
I don't even CARE that this isn't a Warriors song.
*I LOVE IT*
Omg yay you hearted my comment ty I love u so much
SAME! AND YES! SOMEONE ELSE WHO LOVES WARRIORS!!
EXACTLY OJDSFOIJDSFSD
Same here
Another warriors fan!
wow this grew
BTW I'm on book one of A Vision of Shadows lol
I-I don't have a comment. For once in my entire life I am jokeless. I don't have a swipe or a jab. I can't see one flaw in this. For once, someone has left me breathless. For once, someone has left me bare and I have no shield. You do not know how much I relate to this. You do not know how much this describes my life. You don't know how much I've looked for something that is this. I will watch this over and over until the day I die. Blixemi, you may have changed my life. You don't know how many years I spent wishing that she would see me for who I am, and I know that she never will. But with this song, I think I may finally be able to let go. I truly was a chameleon, changing my thoughts to turn on my faithful friends and changing my attitude to use my negativity as a shield. I think there's a chameleon in all of us and, one by one, we'll let it free. Blixemi, you have let your chameleon free with this song. And you may have let mine go too. I can't put into words how much this song means to me. I'm sure you'll be okay. I'm sure we all will.
You know, I’m fricking pissed off that you do t have more likes
@@YasmineTheBaker You don't need to be, but it touches me that you care so much!
I love this so much, i had a lot of social anxiety too, so i guess i was a chameleon too

@Papa John Tube idk I have haeart
can someone explain what the song is about I don"t entirely understand it
Even if I don't know the full story. The comparison to a Chameleon makes so much much sense and it's such a deep meaning. It feels so deep because I can relate to changing myself for others. Hope making and showing this song helped you Blixemi.
Agreed.
I think this is relatable for so many people out there- whether in a mentally abusive households, a toxic relationship of any sort, this song brought tears to my eyes, good job Blixemi, the emotion in this song was so heavy, yet so beautiful.
It's also relatable for people who grew up in okay houses and healthy relationships
Specifically for me I thought I had to think like my parents without being told that so even though they weren't what I thought I adopted their beliefs
Took me a while but I think I finally figured out who I am and I couldn't be happier
So at first when I watched/listened to this, I was like 'oh the changing colours are a pretty cool reference to the chameleon', however as I listened more and more, I realised that the colours could have hidden meanings. It's pretty clear that this song is an abuser and the victim, so maybe the colours have more significance. Now, I'll be going from colour order in the video, and I'll only be using the negative traits of those colours because it's clear this song is quite dark.
Yellow: the colour yellow, in it's negative form, is used to symbolise cowardice and deceit. Now, since the victim looks young when they are still considered 'yellow', we're going to assume that this is when the abuse started to affect them. The victim could be cowering because of the abuser, so they turn to using lies and deception to blend in, as told by the lyrics.
Blue: the colour blue is quite obvious. depression, sadness, etc. I'm going to assume that the victim here went through a depression-like state because of hiding themselves and having to deal with the abuser. Blue can also mean emotionlessness and unfriendliness, so maybe this is the start of the victim trying to fight back against the abuse.
Red: the colour red is also pretty obvious, as it symbolises anger, stress, and defiance. This is when the victim is finally done with the abuser and lashes out, as heard in how powerful their voice is at this part. They're defying against the abuse, wanting to get away from it and the abuser themselves, even if it means lashing out and yelling.
Grey/Monochrome: the monochromatic colours used at the end are to symbolise detachment, coldness towards people, and also depression-like features. The victim finally got away from the abuser, however they now feel lost and alone. It's a sad reality, but some victims of abuse actually prefer to be with their abuser, because they genuinely feel alone once they're gone. The way the victim's voice grows quieter at the end clearly shows this, proving that they feel alone after the abuser left.
Anyways, I hope this was able to bring insight into this amazing piece. Blix, you did an amazing job and the way I can hear the emotions in this song and the lyrics is beautiful.
Blixemi: **posts**
Fans: *i am speed*
Ikr XD
I can relate to this alot. Occasionally when I was really little my dad would hit me and he hit hard. I used to just hide in small spaces where he couldn't reach me or I could blend in. Maybe that's why I like small spaces now, because that's the only place I was safe. Then after my parents split up my dad neglected me because my sister was more important to him. I tried to do things that would make him proud of me but it never worked. Eventually my sister stopped coming over to my dad's house and they started emotionaly abusing me. The told me I was a disgrace and that I was embarrassing. It's gotten better some but I will never forget how much he hurt me.
I'm so sorry. No one should feel scared in their home. No one.
oh my god..so sorry..
No one should have to go through that. I'm so sorry.
Oh man. I'm so sorry
I’m so sorry that’s awful!!!! 1like for this comment and subscribe to them is one hug and one tear from us.
Woah that hit deep and was so emotional yet so powerful at the same time. You did a great job with this, your voice, the lyrics, the music; everything about this song is beautiful Blix
This is amazing Blix. At this point all we can do is stay strong. This song really hit me. This song, lyrics, the melody are just beautiful! Look at you now! You making many people on the internet have a happy place! Your videos entertain us, and I'm glad that we have someone like you! ❤️
💖💖💖
This-
I have always had problems with being a follower and following toxic people, so this really hit me.
*Nods quietly*
*Gives gentle virtual hug* same
I can regonize myself too. And i forgot my colors. They are not gone but i need to know who I am.
As a person who has been forced to live in an environment where I need to change “My color” in order not to be hurt, physically or psychologically, I find this a touching and personal song. Thank you, Blixemi.
You can tell, this wasn't a half-way effort. It was an escape. When you realize how much was put into this song and how much was stabbed within us all, this really is her greatest. I just want to make sure that she knows, more than anything else, we understand. We can help. And you can be you. You have no need to make yourself so you can fit their needs. You are a chameleon, you can blend in or stand out, and be any color of the rainbow that you want to be. None of us are alone. If we are all breaking for somebody else, that isn't good. You need to tell somebody. Don't be afraid. Be bold, and stay you.
@Papa John Tube yup..
Try to blend in,
Stay inside their graces.
Spent so long inside those walls. .
Walls that trapped me,
On that night collapsed me,
Yet I was so used to it,
That I called it home.
I really am a chameleon aren't I.. Hope you'll love me after all hit me hard. I hope one day she'll love me after all too Haha. Though it hurt me, I csnt help but still want it?.
I admittedly avoided listening to this for ages because "chameleon" and the thumbnail just kind of told me this would be a heart wrencher, and Tennelle forwarned me. Listening today and just sob k thanks for the pain.
I've been looking for a song like this, someone who sings of being a "chameleon" and forgetting yourself. I like the choice of chameleon as I always antagonized myself with what I called it (catfishing, lying, acting). just in the past year I've broken away from being a chameleon myself, and worked to figure out who I am. its nice to see that echoed in a song and know I'm not alone in feeling this way
Wow that was... wow. I can’t even begin to describe it. Every part of it was amazing, from the lyrics, to the vocals, to the background art. You really knocked it out of the park with this!
*I'll be complete* and *Chameleon* ?
I hope you're alright,,
Your songs help me really much.
There's a tone, an atmosphere that I can't place into words, that just touches my heart the way no other songs can.

I, I can't relate fully, I dont think, but I, I understand to it, I,
Blixemi, are you good? This song hits hard, and it speaks volumes,
I hope you feel better Blixemi, all of the fans and stuff are looking out for you!! So keep on keepin on!! Cuz you're epic, and anyone else who relates to this, or is sad,
y'all epic!!
Ohand also some of me reading way too deep into colours and lyrics! Or not digging deep enough 0-0
*Lets start with yellow & the lil kiddo, as thats how it starts,*
I think yellow represents, complicit and naivete, also maybe some shame? Seeing the issue with them not the person, the kid is also sitting in a relatively closed off form, trying to protect them self and keep themselves safe, even if it means acting like they're fine, given yellow also represents joy and happiness, so they may have been acting like everything was all fine and good, and swell, despite the fact they knew it wasn't,
orr
*Ok on to blue & Like, teen(?)*
So as we know blue represents sad/depressed, fear, nervousness
The person is also drawn looking nervous, and looking down,
"You're like a glass thats built to shatter.
Your pieces sharp-
...but they're mine to clean."
I feel that it means the person who made them sort of form an act and a facade (Lets call them Corren,) often lashes out, and lets say "shatters" in anger, leaving the child to clean up the after math, "But I've grown so used to you, the cuts are home to me." makes me think that the child grew more complicit, just accepting this was happening, and changing themselves, to try and be more liked, to avoid "this",
"My colours bleed" makes me think colours represent *them*, and who the child is as a person is slowly bleeding into their fake "colours", the new fake colours slowly *becoming* them, "Hope you'll love me after all." Makes me think Corren may be like a parent, guardian or potentially sibling, (I would have suggested potentially a lover, but I dont like the idea of an adult and a child, presuming that Corren was an adult when they seemed to be a young child)
I'll be presuming a guardian of sorts due to the fact they live with them, and its more common for guardians to live with their kids than siblings to live with their siblings, I think anyways, Corren probably would say: "I hate you" a lot, or remarks like "I wish I never had you" Is what I get from that,
"I’m easy, please believe me I won’t give you one reason.
To see beyond my camouflage as your chameleon."
The camouflage is their act, they're slowly getting more and more into this new person,
*OK!! Finally onto Red, ill call this late teen/adult phase, sorry blue was a lot to unpack,*
Red usually means anger, rage, in my books anyways,
"Built by a lifetime never knowing where I stand
I’ve changed so much of me keep your peace
I’ve forgotten who I am."
The person who they are now, who was "Built by a lifetime never knowing where I stand", they aren't *THEM* anymore, they're a construct, an "actor" of a never ending act, and they play the "I’m easy. I’m obedient," Easy, obedient, and good child who cleans up after Correns "shatters"
They've changed basically so much of them, for so long, they have no clue who they are anymore, (which is the part I probably relate to the most),
*Grey now I guess!*
"My colour has faded too."
A short line, that hits hard,
yet again, colour probably refers to their personality, who *they* are,
and without Corren, they're left alone, with "themself", and without the cameras blaring, watching their every move, theres no reason to act anymore, but the act went on, for so long, they don't know where the act starts, and they begin, where their colours are and the camouflage lays, the colours all spilled together to create a grey hue,
This bit where it goes through Yellow, Blue and Red, im going to try analyse,
Yellow: "Try to blend in," represents they first tried to hide, be unnoticed
Blue: "Stay inside their graces." I feel represents sucking up, becoming someone else so they'd be loved and praised,
Red (and the others too, flipping through the three colours): "Spent so long inside those walls!" I feel that represents, the anger pent up from over the years, the suffocation felt, they spent so long trying to blend in, changing themselves that:
"My colours bleed
As I make believe
It's kept me safe and warm so long!"
Their colours bled too much into their act and now, they cant find the colors of before, the colours are repeatedly shifting in this bit as I feel they rapidly try to find *them* in the mess of colours, but they cant find who they we're before.
"I'm scared to show-!
Or let people know-...
Can't give them one reason
To see beyond
my camouflage...
as their chameleon"
If im completely transparent, I have no clue what this means fully, it could mean a plethora, but imma only explore one as its almost 5am for me,
Ok!!
"I'm scared to show-!"
"Or let people know-..." Their worried, and fearful to tell people what happened with Corren,,
"Can't give them one reason
To see beyond
my camouflage
as their chameleon"
Due to their complicit nature/act they developed from their home life, they may have gained some "toxic" relationships(??) Because they're now someone elses chameleon,
They feel unable to show people the real them because, they probably dislike who "them" is,
AnYwaYS iTs 5Am nOw
Thanks for reading!!!
Sorry if its worse at the end, I always am terrible at closing things off,
anyways the colour thing, could just be because they're the three primary colours, sorry sorry bye!
Wow you could make a 20 minute video out of this!
As a person who can relate to the song completely, I can say, for the most part, you're correct! Yellow, i'd say in my experience, is fear, and not fully understanding why "Corren" yells and hates why they do.
Blue means depressed and emotional (or the opposite, not emotional art all) They are trying to figure out what they did wrong, and what they did to deserve it. That phase is very sad for most people. This stage is when I had my "emo phase".
Red does mean anger, rage, when they finally piece together what is actually happening. When the person singing it realizes what's happening, (In my case, my parents got divorced and my mom remarried and my dad got jealous, so he made me travel alone across the country and I had to act like I loved visiting for years when I hated it and I really just wanted to cry :,) ), they are scared to show their real emotions to "Corren", so they usually put their emotions off on other people, (Also known as bullying). I am very embarrassed to admit, but I was a bully for about a semester.
You were kind of wrong with grey, though. Instead of all the colors mixed together, there are no colors at all. they all disappear. You don't know what you feel. You just feel numb. Nothing. And most of all, you feel ALONE. This is when you might need help from a friend, or therapist.
Now, you said you were confused about the lyrics
"I'm scared to show-!
Or let people know-...
Can't give them one reason
To see beyond
my camouflage...
as their chameleon"
It means the person or singer is scared to tell Coren, or let people see, their true feelings. Thats-Thats all it really means. Throughout the entire song, thats what it means.
I didn’t know I was reading textbooks today!
For some reason I can't see my last comment. Or most of them at all. I just wanted to say how much this hits me and how much I relate to this.
You are such a wonderful, inspiring, talented, creative person Blixemi. You don't have to be what others want you to be or see in you. Don't let anyway silence your voice or wash away your colours. You just have to be yourself and stay true. We love you as you are
After over 3 years of this being in my playlist i think i can say; I'm not crying, You're crying!
This song carries so much weight and passion. I remember the first time I heard it when it first was released, I cried. By the third verse I was sobbing, and replayed it several times. Each time was a tear jerker, and it became my favorite Blixemi song, and one of my favorite songs ever.
The colors give so much meaning - especially when the abuser also goes through the colors. Both victim and abuser go through yellow, blue, and red, but only the victim goes into gray, and then at the very end a brownish gray. I think that's important; it represents a cycle of abuse, and how the final victim breaks free from this cycle, never to be an abuser to anyone else.
In my opinion, the little chameleon isn't just an art style choice to reflect the song; it's an important part of the story. The chameleon is the tiny bit of the victim, the part of them that wants to be free from this suffering.
At yellow, our victim looks about 8 years old. They're small and fragile, but heavily dependant on the abuser, and can't think of ever leaving them, hence why the chameleon, their inner desire to be free, isn't interacting with them. It's there, and waiting to be acknowledged, but isn't actively engaging with the victim. Instead it sits beside them, waiting for them to realize it's there, if only they'll realize it. While the abuser is yellow, they're rationalizing that this is okay. They were once a victim to this to, and they're telling themselves their okay, which means their victim will also be okay. The little victim, we'll call them Z, since they're the end of the abuse cycle, is yellow, not only to reflect the abuser, but because in early stages of abuse, the victim is told that it's their fault. They did something to deserve this. This deceit and deception causes the victim to believe this and thus not try to escape the abuse.
Z is yellow because they've deceived themselves into believing that this is okay. That they've done something to deserve this, and don't deserve to escape; which also ties into the chameleon being distant. They're purposely ignoring the little voice inside that telling them it's not okay for this to happen.
Analyzing Z's clothing, they look like pajamas, which may mean the abuse is worse at night. Z's sleeves are also short, which means the physical abuse has yet to occur. At least not on Z's arms, as we see no bruises. The early form of abuse tends to be verbal and emotional abuse in young children, which is what Z looks to be. "Like the smoke foretells the fire," may elude to the abuser having a smoking issue, involving cigarettes and/or drugs.
Z's emotional shutdown begins in this stage. Z begins to shove down all their desires, wants, and feelings, so that the abuser will like them.
The next stage is blue. Here Z looks to be about 14. The chameleon is now interacting with Z, as they've finally embraced that this isn't okay, however they don't know how to voice this. The emotional abuse from the past several years has led them to believe it's all their fault, and so even they Z recognizes this isn't healthy, they've yet to truly embrace that they need to escape this mess. Z is nervous as they look down at the chameleon, as seen by how they twiddle with their hands.
The abuser is blue here to resemble that putting Z through the same abuse they went through only hurts them. Many abusers who come from a cycle of abuse suffer PTSD and depression, and the abuser takes it out on their victim. Z's sleeves get longer here, up to their elbows, and they're also in casual wear, which is indicative that physical abuse has begun and happens during the day.
Z feels responsible for this, as the abuser is suffering as well. Z feels as though they have to take care of the abuser, who is fragile and sharp, and suffering because of them. The comparison to a glass bottle may also elude to a drinking problem.
It's clear in Z's second blue verse that the physical abuse is heavy. They know they should stop the pattern, they know they shouldn't let this continue, but they still hold themselves accountable, and feel indebted to the abuser since they raised them. Without the abuser, Z doesn't know where they'd be, and they've long since accepted this is how the abuser communicates, and that even if it's not okay, they'll be fine. Z only wants to be loved, and believes if they're good enough, the abuser will love them.
In the next stage, Z looks to be 18. Now a legal adult, Z fully embraces the chameleon, the little piece that's always been telling them this isn't okay. Z now knows they have to break free, and that this is the right thing to do. Z's sleeves are long, indicating that over the years the physical abuse has gotten severely worse. Z is red to indicate defiance, and a willingness and passionate desire to change.
The abuser is red because they're angry. Z is the first person to break the chain of abuse, and so the abuser doesn't know how to handle this. All these years, Z has never spoken back, but now Z refuses to back down, and the abuser is flabbergasted. Z doesn't recognize who they are anymore, but still, they refuse to be a part of this any longer. Finally, Z leaves. Z is free and no longer bound to the abuser.
But...now Z doesn't know what to do. Z is lost and struggling, and debates going back to the abuser, but instead the little voice inside them rings louder and truer than ever. Z can never go back there ever again.
Gray represents the small in-between phase where Z doesn't know what to do anymore, but it quickly shifts into brownish gray. Her true color. Now, the chameleon is closer than ever, consoling and guiding her. Z suffers trauma, and doesn't know where to go from here. Their entire life revolved around the abuser, but now they're alone. Z is afraid, and afraid to trust and be themselves. But with their inner voice guiding them, the part that only ever wanted to be free, Z knows someday, somehow, they'll be okay. They've broken free from the mold, from that neverending cycle, and now it's up to them to decide their life.
Oh my Squirrelflight. The lyrics are just outstanding and the storyline of the song is so interesting and heart breaking. I love this song and it made me feel so many things at the same time. Gorgeous job (as always) Blix!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
i’m with you. also, ‘oh my squirrelflight’ 😭 i’ll use that forever now, thank you for blessing me dear human.
Holy Firestar!
@@wiselife3532 nooo you cannot do thaaat, Oh My Squirrelflight is my thing ;)

I’m two years late but what ever
Oh my HolyLeaf
“through years of bandages hands, you’d think i’d break the pattern. but i’ve grown so used to you the cuts are home to me.”
that hit me.
i’m going to come back to this song in one year to see if i feel better.
thank you, blixemi.
It's been two, how're you feeling?
Come back, you doing okay?
My goodness. This song...it’s just...This is exactly how I am like at school. Always trying to change myself so that my friends can still hang out and talk to me. To change myself so that I can feel like I finally belong...To finally have friends. And then I hide who I really am from other people, but then they change again, and then I change with them so that they and I can still be friends. It becomes an endless cycle of wanting to be accepted by others that I forget that it’s okay to be myself. But then I find myself forgetting again...
Only people I consider close know who I truly am...just some annoying high school kid that wants to be accepted.
I think that irl you would be a great friend if people would just be more open-minded towards people. For the most part, I'm a lone wolf but there are those people that I hold close. I want to make a little safe haven for outcasts like me, but I'm not really sure how. :/
Barbara Rice I was once an outcast. I’m seemingly returning to that point now that I am in High School ;-;
@@olivetmeadows3773 Agreed. I have gotten a bit better as a Tenth Grader, but I am still trying to find that balance.
you good blixemi? this song really makes a big impact on me, same with ill be complete. Your fans have your back, be yourself
Blix, are you okay? This song has so much passion I can tell it's not just a made-up story. Who hurt you, how, and where can I find them to make them suff- I mean, to talk it out with them.
patreon time,
This song is... Super Awesome..! Blixemi!
you always make my heart warm, and sometimes Cry,
you are.. so talented creator
Pov: you come back to this song 2 years later only to find out you relate to it on a PERSONAL level now 😅
That song is so beautiful Blixemi!! You did such an amazing job on it!
How did- how did your comment yesterday
Was this unlisted then republished now
@Keagan A

“You’re build like a glass to shatter. Your pieces sharp- ... but they’re mine to clean.” That hit me harder than my emotions ngl ;w;
Wait why do allthe comments say one hour and one day ago? I just got this notification
Patreons get it earlier!
Kitteee UwU patreons and all , they get to see the song a day earlier than others
I cant find anything wrong with this song. It's just great
Darn this is amazing. My brain can’t stop thinking of Warriors with this lol
ikr same lol
Maybe BlueStar? I kinda can see that.
I mean I'm thinking of squirrelflight rn
brxken Actually I can kind of see TallStar or some cats from windclan in that era, especially because of the parts in the beginning.
brxken i mean yeah
I can't even describe how beautiful this is and how much I relate
Already watched it so many times but oh boy did I click fast
sameeee
Same!
I may or may not have sobbed the first time I listened to this
oH mY gOd i LoVe tHiS sO mUcH
I’ve never really had to deal with this but even just listening to this song makes me sad
The speed with which i clicked on the notification when I saw “Original Song” was actually stupid. It’s a really good song though, good job!
Jeez those invisible ninjas and their invisible onions, they really went ham this time. In all seriousness, be yourself, I was trapped in a place where I couldn’t express myself without judgement, it was horrible. Just be yourself
And their invisible knives
Tbh i didnt cry, but felt extremely sad :((
I’m NoT cRyInG yOuR cRyInG
This song was so touching and amazing. I love it
ahh you have no idea how much I relate to this song, I have a covert narcissist mom, and it's really hard. I've gone through similar stages of my life like the ones you've presented. I hope that everything is ok and know that I love your content
Blix, this was an AMAZING song, and I really love it! It also worried me, though, and I just want to let you know that we are all here for you, ok? We all love you and you don’t need to change or fake who you are for us because we will love you no matter who you are :3
If you ever need help, all of us, your subscribers, viewers, patreons, friends, and family, will be there to support you. No matter what you’re going through or who you are. We love you Blix, and I hope you know that
I can’t describe how much I love this
Good job blixi
Okay, little off-topic, but here are some song ideas:
Flametail - A Flame Stuck In Ice (Or something like that)
Onestar - The Darkness That Dragged Me (Again, something along those lines)
Clearsky - I'll See You In The Sky
Firestar/heart - The Fire In Me
Bumblestripe - The Dove Flew Away
Tigerstar - My Hollow Heart
Leafstar- Lost And Found
Blossomfall - A Mother Of Betrayal
Tree - The Ghosts I See
Brightheart/paw - What Am I Not Seeing?
(Flametail's is about his mistake of falling into the ice.)
(Onestar's is about his relationship with Darktail and his mate)
(Clear skies is about how upset he is about Bright stream's death.)
(Firestar/hearts is about his adventures when he was younger.)
(Bumblestripe's is about his obsession with Dovewing.)
(Tigerstar's is about his plans about destroying the Clans.)
(Leafstar's is about her clan finding their way back with the others.)
(Blossomfall's is about how mad she is with Millie.)
(Tree's is about his power of being able to see ghosts.)
(Brightheart/paws is about how she thinks of her face.)
I hope you are doing okay! If you need support, I'm happy to help! I also hope you like my suggestions! It was a beautiful song and it made me cry.
Blixemi, I love this song, but are you okay? If you need help and support know all your fans and viewers have your back!
Always here
So true!
Same.
Blixemi I don’t know what your going through but this song really hit my heart. We are here for you and we will always be there for you. After listening to this song I’m not lying when I say I cried. You are like a close friend to me and it hurts my heart to see you in pain. 💝💖
Dammit why does this have to be so accurate to my life… my mom burned in her opinions of me into my head and I can’t get them out now that I’m free. She literally told me to stop being myself because it made me ugly and wrong. I also felt faded. But find yourself a support system and you might find your colors again. As Tattletail would say: “no more mama”
I relate to this, but not exactly in the way everyone else seems to. At school, I try to fit it. To make myself fit the mold. But I never get it right. I cant be too quiet, they’ll judge me. I cant be too loud, they’ll call me annoying. I cant try to hard, they’ll call me a nerd. I cant not try, they’ll call me lazy. I cant act like a girl (I’m a trans guy), they’ll judge me for acting feminine. I cant act like a guy, they’ll call me weird. Ive lived so long like this, with people questioning my every move. It’s like I’m stuck in a maze and the only way out is to blend in and avoid the criticism. To be a chameleon. But once they leave, I’ll have nothing. No personality that’s actually mine. I’m nothing.
Honestly I relate to what you just said so much, I understand how you feel and I hope that we can both get through this - another trans guy with the same school situation
I keep coming back to this song because I love the instrumentals but every time I do it makes me sad
I relate to this far more than I should
Normally, I don't comment on videos but this song touched at such a deep level that I just had to. The amount of feeling and pain in this song is something that resonates with me on a deeply personal level. Growing up in an abusive household and family drastically changes a person, and it leaves a permanent mark. I'm incredibly thankful that I was able to get out of the abusive situations I've been in in my life, ans doubly thankful for the people I now have who I know love and cherish me.
Abuse can take a long time to heal from--and its effects never trully go away, but it does get better if you can take yourself out of that situation.
Thank you so much for posting this song Blixemi. I hope you've gotten to a better point in your life now. 💕💕
Why is this me lol. I-im not crying, UR CRYING! it just hit an, um, a nerve. Yeah, it hit a nerve
yes i am crying
i don't cry
this is an underrated gem
As I always say, "every-song has a meaning". Blixemi, are you okay? If not I can understand. Ily continue to mak GREAT music!
To everyone how relates to this just stay strong, much love 💕
This is so relatable. I try to let myself be the side character and support all my friends, and I somehow forget about myself. I've hid my anxiety from everyone for so long, I guess I put my colors to help them for so long. I didn't realize what my true colors were. This is my new favorite song, and the most relatable song. And my Parents both hurt me by being so strict, I only act good and happy because I'm scared of what they'll do If I tell them.
Sorry for boring anyone with my story!
Thank you, Blix, once again!
This song has a truly deep meaning that I'm sure relates to a lot of people, even to me in a way. This is honestly one of your greatest works and it astonishes me how far you've grown, and just know that every single one of your fans is so proud of you Blixemi
I GOT THE NOTIFICATION AND SCREAMED
Lol your name is addy the cat that's my friends cats name lol
I’m not crying...
It’s just a stupid pieces of dirt that got into both of my eyes...
And the dirt got into the same place in each eye...
And it is effecting them both the same exact way...
Hehe.....
But seriously tho Blix, we all will catch you if you fall, if you are feeling down. Beautiful song girl, keep going.
Oh god, this was *DEEP*.
This was so good! I love it!
I cried during this song im definitly subscribing. your voice is a gift
I was only a minute in and I could already tell this was something dark. Are you okay?
I just found out that Blixemi got her songs on Spotify! Now I can listen to all of them!!!
Thank you soooo much Blix! I love all the songs you make!
❤️❤️❤️
This is so deep, yet so beautiful. Amazing job blixemi
"Built by a lifetime never knowing where I stand. I've changed so much of me to keep your peace, I've forgotten who I am."
Oh my dayssss, you just expressed my mental wounds better than I ever could.
Thanks for making this Blixemi, this was really moving for me.
"Through years of bandaged hands, you'd think id break the pattern. But I've grown so used to you, the cuts are home to me."
These words are so relatable.
I needed this tonight thanks blixemi
I always have to act in a pleasing way to my dad or he will explode
Over time you learn wanting to cry and not being able to is worse than actually crying
Blixemi thank you so much for writing these great songs and making my life easier with your amazing music.
This song is so cool! I write my own songs but I can’t do music.
Pheniox Flame same, i wrote a song but it’s not good
Pheniox Flame I’m the opposite- can’t write a song but can do music
I made 2 songs, but theyre really bad..I dont even understand them and they stink. I dont even know what the first one was about, and the second was about my dog favoriting my dad and not opening his eyes to realize that there are more people who care about him than my dad :/ he only notices my dad..I deleted the doc tho so I cannot share it :c sorry
WAIT I DIDNT HOLD ON
Gotta Let Things Go
You chew on your bone
All day
Just waiting for him to come home
And when he does
Your ready for him
You greet him you follow him wherever he goes
You love him
Until he leaves you again
I know you love him
I know you want him
I know you need him
But sometimes the people you love aren't always
Home
Open your eyes
Wake up and smell the coffee
Look around you
Cause he isn't the only one that loves you
Try to actually pay attention
To the other people that love you
But all you do
Is ignore them
I know you love him
I know you want him
I know you need him
But sometimes
You have to let things go
When he's outside
You whine and you cry
Because you want him near you
But he can't always be with you
He got other things to do
So you gotta learn to
Let things go
I know you want him
I know you need him
I know you love him
But you have to let things go
Ohhh
Have to let things go
Go
You gotta let it go (2 times)
Open your eyes
Wake up and smell the coffee
Look around you
Cause he isn't the only one that loves you
Try to actually pay attention
To the other people that love you
But all you do
Is ignore them
But all you have to do
All you gotta learn
Is pretty simple
All you gotta do
Is to let it go
Let things go
I found out that I also made a warrior cats song..instead of dont stop believe in its We are forest cats
I’m in Thunderclan.
Over there is a Riverclan.
I can spot a Windclan.
And over the Thunderpath is Shadowclan.
We live in the forest
All protected by Starclan
This life never stops
It goes on and on and on and on
Cats, waiting
Just to catch a mouse
They do this everyday
All clans, hunting just to survive
They’re prey, hiding somewhere in the night!
Working hard to get my prey
Everybody wants some prey
But since its leaf-bare
It’s so hard
Some clans will win;
Some clans will loose
Some were born by a twoleg nest
Oh, the fights never end
They go on and on and on and on
Cats, waiting
Just to hunt a mouse
They do this everyday
They’re prey, hiding somewhere in the night!
We are forest cats
We team up sometimes
But thats only in the Darkest Hours
We are forest cats
We fight for life
We are forest cats
When we die we go to Starclan
Thunderclan,Riverclan
Windclan,Shadowclan
Skyclan,
Rogue or Kittypet
We live in the forest!
ik its odd lmao
OMG Blixemi! If you need a hug, we're all here for you! Loved this song!
Before I start let me just say, this song is amazing! You are a very talented person but with that said,
Are you okay? After listening to this song a few times I started to feel as though something wasn't right. And after reading the comments I have been starting to worry. We are all here for you and no matter what happened we will support you and help you get through what ever this is. You are my idol and it hurts me to see you in pain. We are all here for you Blix!
BLIX!!! AHHHH I LOVE YOUR SONGS SO MUCH AND THIS ONE IS SO BEAUTIFUL
AHHHH THIS IS AMAZING BLIX!!
Oh my goodness ! That was so amazing and so deep and hits me on so many emotional levels. This song is exactly about what I thought it would be about (I'm getting some serious I'll Be Complete flashbacks)
I love all your songs and it's great to hear some more personal pieces. Idk what happened but I can relate so much (I know I say all the time) I always tried to find out who I am (I still dont know it) and be myself and go my own way but always felt and still feel like everyone hates and only critisizes me (for every little, obvious thing I know myself and heard 1000 times but can't control or is just who I am) I can't fight it anymore and am so tired of trying to Prove It (reference entirely intended) that there's more to me than All That They See (ok I stop Xp) in me. So now that I am officially an adult, I've also become a Chameleon, nothing more but a reflection, a shadow of my former self. I feel like I betrayed and threw everything away, I used to be and fight and stand for, just to fit into that image and avoid more trouble. But at a high price, that has caused only more trouble for me. May I also say that the 2nd Blixemi totally reminds me of Frozen's Anna because of the hair ? (Though such songs always remind me more of Elsa)
But enough about me. Blixemi, you are such a great, talented, creative, inspiring person. You don't have to fit in and be everything everyone else wants you to be or see you as. You just have to be yourself and stay true. Don't let anyone ever silence that voice inside you. Nor wash away your colours.
I also gotta admit, I want to write my own sings since...before I even found your channel in...2015 ? O.O
But I know nothing about music and still feel so insecure. But you are one of the reasons and inspirations that helps me keep my dream alife. And I'm rambling about myself again. I just wanna let you know Blix, you are a great person and we love you just the way you are
Me: realizes this song literally represents me.
Also me: singing this non stop and literally crying because it is so relatable
Owwww too relatable!!!!!! As a person from a sub par family situation, this strikes a chord. Brilliant song blix!! Totally not sobbing now.
I don't know if I said it before, but I have a love-hate relationship with this song. The only part I hate about it, is how much I GET it. How much I understand, and how much I KNOW. I hate singing along in pain knowing exactly how it feels.
But, I love it because it's just SO good and the emotion, the melody, the SINGING!! UGH! I love it so much!
I can see it! I’m a dude but I get it, cause I’ve experienced it more than once…
Quick edit, not in the changing personalities aspect, but similar
This is so beautiful Blixemi!
No one deserves to be treated like this.
Wow..
I can't even begin to describe how much this hits.
And as someone who's changed to make others happy for so long..as someone who no longer feels many emotions from hiding them for so long..as someone who hides behind a mask everyday, even around their own family.. This hit home much harder than I expected.
And I'm sure lots of people out there can relate.
Everything about this is amazing. The lyrics, the vocals, the emotions, the art. Absolutely stunning.
The pain in this so real, it bothers me how many people in the comments are saying how relatable this is, no one should feel like this.. and yet we do, i do, heck, the comment below me probably does. This so beautiful and touching and some of these words hit me so deep, these words are the exactly thoughts I've had, and yet there is a sense of unity, we all feel like this and we aren't alone, we are a beautiful group of chameleons in the comments section that can rely on each other.
This song is so heartfelt, and really relatable to me. I always have these feeling bottled up, and I pretend they're not there, and I put on a fake smile every day to keep people content, and see me as a normal person, and I hide how I feel, so it really helps to know there are people out there feeling the same way. Sorry this is so long! Have a great day!
"Hope you look past all my flaws"
That right there hit close to home. I have VERY bad social anxiety and this is what I think every time I leave my home. Thank you, Blixemi, for making this song!!
Hi Blix, this song is amazing! It hit me with the feels. Don’t worry, Blix. Us fans are here for you. Love you, you’re amazing
To anyone relating to this song just know you are loved and you are strong to be here today, and if you’re going through something trust me, it will get better just stay strong, you’ll find the light at the end of the tunnel. You are a wonderful person and I want you to a have a nice day :) 💕
oh. this hits hard.
to blixemi: it's been a while since ive watched your videos. im not a part of the fandom anymore. but this song hits so hard, hits close to home. im not a warrior anymore, but i pray to starclan that you're alright, or will get there soon. love you.
I see if you make another song and this is just.... You've upped your game I can tell, you made such good songs and now this song is just truly amazing.
When I looked up the channel to hear sol's song again I saw this at first I thought it was warriors but then saw no tittle to what it was and after watching left me scratching my head Is something wrong if something's not right we are all hear for you we have all noticed the thinning upload schedule only 2 songs and a very few amount of other throughout 2 years. We are all here for you and remember as all ways you will be complete.
Y are u not subbed tho?
@@purple6242 I had not realized it but no worries I did as soon as I saw my mistake
Oh wow, Blix. This song really hit me in the chest. The changing background, the song, the melody, this is amazing. I don't care that this isn't warrior cat based, this is so cool. Keep up the great work.
We’re you trying to punch my heart?
because if so... *it worked.*
**insert sobbing noises**
I don't know if I like relating to this? But at the same time it's nice to have smth to relate to???
A new Blixemi song! I’m only like 30 seconds in and I can feel the urge to like rushing in
Bro I literally have the chills❣ This song is something I can relate to on a personal level. Also, I am sending good vibes your way. You cannot stop them. They are coming.💝
