Lyrics
Verse 1 (soft piano intro, then electric guitar and drums join in):
In the pages of a magazine, they find their dreams,
Perfect faces, perfect lives, or so it seems.
Chasing shadows of the ones they adore,
Trying to be something more.
(Electric guitar riff, drums intensify)
Chorus (powerful electric guitar and drums):
They build their idols high, reaching for the sky,
But in the end, they're just like you and I.
Behind the mask, they're trying to be,
Just another soul, looking to be free.
(Guitar solo)
Verse 2 (bass and drums build up):
We shape our lives on the stories they tell,
Dreaming of heaven, but living in a shell.
Every step, every move, under the spotlight,
Trying to keep up the perfect fight.
Chorus (powerful electric guitar and drums):
They build their idols high, reaching for the sky,
But in the end, they're just like you and I.
Behind the mask, they're trying to be,
Just another soul, looking to be free.
Bridge (acoustic guitar, building back to electric):
In the mirror, we see our own disguise,
The perfect image, just another lie.
Striving for a dream, that isn't real,
Forgetting that it's human to feel.
Verse 3 (full band, with powerful electric guitar and drums):
They say heroes are made of iron and gold,
But deep down, they have stories untold.
They're fighting battles, just like you and me,
In the end, we all seek to be free.
(Electric guitar riff, drums intensify)
Chorus (powerful electric guitar and drums):
They build their idols high, reaching for the sky,
But in the end, they're just like you and I.
Behind the mask, they're trying to be,
Just another soul, looking to be free.
Outro (epic guitar solo, fading into soft piano):
So let's break the chains, let the illusions fall,
Embrace our flaws, and stand tall.
For in the end, we're all the same,
Just simple souls, in life's grand game.
