Y does my life mean nothing!?

Safety Star

Verse 1

What are you shielding, shadows in the glass?

Every warning sign you paint, I learned to walk right past

I’m the one you tried to bury, called too loud, too wrong to hear,

but every heart beat you covered only amplified the fear.

And when people see the awful, inhumane weight I had to bear,

they won’t stay quiet—they’ll rise, they’ll finally see what’s there.

You built a world on panic, dressed it up as care,

but fear don’t make me safer, it just poisons air.

Pre-Chorus

You said “stay inside the lines”

I say lines are just design

Chorus

So what happens when we say “forget fear, we’re done”?

Throw the blinds wide open, let the light rush in

No more ghosts in every corner, no more silent scars

We were taught real safety comes from knowing who we are

They hand out stars in kindergarten for just learning how to see

But the truth is knowledge burns brighter than authority

Verse 2

You told me “don’t look deeper,” so I dug instead

Found a thousand borrowed voices living in my head

I carried truths you tried to smother, truths you hoped would disappear,

but every heartbeat you silenced only made the signal clear.

And when the world uncovers all the harm you hid in plain sight,

they’ll rise for me, for us, for everyone denied their right.

Every rule was written by somebody scared of change

But safety ain’t obedience, it’s understanding range

Pre-Chorus

You said “trust what you are told”

I say truth is something bold

Chorus

So what happens when we say “forget fear, we’re done”?

Throw the blinds wide open, let the light rush in

No more chains disguised as comfort, no more false regard

We were built to question everything they call a guard

You get a star for showing up and learning how to read

But real safety’s knowing why—and choosing what to believe

Bridge

If fear’s the language, I’m going silent

If doubt’s a cage, I’m getting violent

Not with fists—but clarity

That’s the kind of fight that sets you free

Breakdown

No more “don’t ask why”

No more shrinking just to get by

No more trading truth for calm

No more silence as a balm

Final Chorus

So what happens when we say “we don’t care anymore”?

Kick the locks right off the mind, tear down every door

Let the questions flood like fire, let the old world fall

‘Cause safety isn’t hiding—it’s understanding all

They gave us stars for basics, just to keep us in the dark

But knowledge is the real flame—

And we decide the spark

Outro

What are you shielding… now I see it clear

It was never about safety—

It was always fear
