Текст песни
Since childhood they told me: “Be quiet, be mild
Don’t be selfish — be humble, obedient, child
Live with no feelings, no faith in your name
And break behind smiles in the mask of their “grace
I bent under stares that were colder than ice
In others’ demands I erased my own life
But bow as you want — it is never enough
I’m guilty for breathing, for just being “wrong
I won’t be living as someone’s reflection
Burning myself for their false expectations
I’m breaking my chains — farewell to the night
At last I have chosen to live as my light
I’ve grown — and I know that I don’t owe you all
Not your toy, not your model, not slave to your call
I’ve burned every pattern, I’ve thrown out the lies
Now each step I’m taking is mine, not for praise
You faded in daylight, I hid in the dark
But there in the silence I found my own spark
And suddenly you came to me drawn by the flame
The moment I stopped playing into your game
I won’t be living as someone’s reflection
Burning myself for their false expectations
I’m breaking my chains — farewell to the night
At last I have chosen to live as my light
You’re wearing your masks, but I see who you are
You’re playing at “friendship” — I don’t need the scar
No longer I fear your condemnations, hate
I’ve stepped from the shadows, I’ve broken your cage
I read in your eyes like a book full of lies
Where truth disappears and deception survives
My power is patience, not fury, not rage
I’ve taken the lesson, I’ve turned my own page
I won’t be living as someone’s reflection
Burning myself for their false expectations
I’m breaking my chains — farewell to the night
At last I have chosen to live as my light
I’m not in your fashion, I’ll stand on my own
I’m not just a shadow, I’m flesh, blood and bone
And even with scars on a true, honest face
I’ve found my freedom — myself I embrace
