Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song after coming home from an unsuccessful call back audition for popstars.

Song Description

Angst towards the TV reality show popstars

Lyrics

My Own Way

I feel this emptiness floating inside
It’s quickly conquered by my foolish pride
You brought me down but not for long
I’ll turn the page and sing my song

Hit me hard, I’ll never break
Mock me now but I know my fate
I have a one way ticket
To a bird’s eye view

Quit bringing me down
I don’t care what you say
Quit bringing me down
I do things my way

So what makes you think you’re the chosen one
30 seconds to fame is not how it’s done
Blood, sweat and tears is the truth we face
You think the grass is greener, pursuing your chase

Hit me hard, I’ll never break
Mock me now but I know my fate
I have a one way ticket
To a bird’s eye view

Quit bringing me down
I don’t care what you say
Quit bringing me down
I do things my way

Fame and Fortune can you tell
Is it heaven or is it hell
Remember my face I’ll be back again
Wearing my stone cold grin

Hit me hard, I’ll never break
Mock me now but I know my fate
I’ve got a one way ticket
To a bird’s eye view

Quit bringing me down
I don’t care what you say
Quit bringing me down
I do things my way
