Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Stood in your shadow, thought your glare was all I'd see
Blinded by your boasting, couldn't find my own decree
Built you up a pedestal, a god upon a stage
Now the cracks are showing, time to turn a different page
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the whispers growing, truth is starting to unwind
You're not the masterpiece you paint, your arrogance unkind
The world's a tapestry of lives, all woven and entwined
Your thread's just one amongst the rest, not the one that holds the line
[Chorus]
So step down from your platform, the spotlight's fading fast
The audience is restless, the illusion couldn't last
You're not the center of the story, the hero in the fight
Just a character, with flaws and fears, existing in the light
[Verse 2]
Used to think your silence held the power to control
Now I see it's just a void, a hollow, empty hole
Your words were empty promises, your actions spoke the lie
The emperor has no clothes, your reign is passing by
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the whispers growing, truth is starting to unwind
You're not the masterpiece you paint, your arrogance unkind
The world's a tapestry of lives, all woven and entwined
Your thread's just one amongst the rest, not the one that holds the line
[Chorus]
So step down from your platform, the spotlight's fading fast
The audience is restless, the illusion couldn't last
You're not the center of the story, the hero in the fight
Just a character, with flaws and fears, existing in the light
[Bridge]
Don't be deceived by the echo in your own applause
There's a symphony out there, a world beyond your cause
Find your own melody, a rhythm that rings true
The world will hear your music, when it comes from you
[Chorus]
So step down from your platform, the spotlight's fading fast
The audience is restless, the illusion couldn't last
You're not the center of the story, the hero in the fight
Just a character, with flaws and fears, existing in the light
[Outro]
The world keeps turning, with or without your show
There's so much more to discover, let your true colors grow
