[Intro] Same screen starting every day again Read the message… then pretend ⸻ [Verse 1] Alarm goes off but my brain stays mute Dreams feel louder than the real pursuit Schedule empty but my mind worn down Did nothing all day, still about to drown Online everybody winning big Offline stuck in slow-motion living Comparison turned professional skill Self-confidence missing, lost somewhere still They say “keep going,” easy to say Forgot how trying even works these days Laugh it off like I’m okay Another meaningless update saved ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Little frustrations pile up high No clear reason, don’t know why ⸻ [Chorus] Who decides what normal means? Everybody walking in copy-paste dreams The more I chase what’s “right” to be The quieter my voice becomes in me Say “I’m fine” a thousand times Leave my real thoughts far behind Acting strong comes naturally Just surviving another day quietly ⸻ [Verse 2] Crowded trains like human Tetris Breathing shallow in this city endless Escaping life through headphones tight Play counts rising every night Dreams postponed, pushed aside Deadlines only stay by my side Ideal version amplified Reality stuck in standby mode “How long later?” what year is this? Future plans still unchecked lists Anxiety keeps passing me Matching pace with insecurity ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Smiles feel vague, emotions blur Can’t tell what feelings really were ⸻ [Chorus] Who decides what normal means? Are we acting out the same old scenes? The more afraid of getting it wrong The less I choose where I belong Getting better at acting tough Compressing feelings, hiding stuff “No problems here,” that’s my disguise Logging out into the night ⸻ [Bridge] I don’t need to be someone rare I just wanna breathe real air Don’t need answers someone designed Wanna move at my own time ⸻ [Final Chorus] Who decides what normal means? Maybe there’s no in-between Even detours count somehow This right here is where I am now Don’t need perfect to survive Moving slow is still alive If tomorrow looks the same I’ll still wake up slightly changed ⸻ [Outro] Alarm rings again at dawn But maybe today… I’m a little more than yesterday
