This is another one of my all-time favorites. Back in 2014, I'll never forget the long nights at work just listening to this song over and over. It served as quite the motivator for when I'd finally be in a position to actually cover it several years later!
It's still very much one of my favorite, and so I was very eager to have another crack at this one for Reflection. It was also good for me to get in some more music video experience.
lyrics
A hundred thousand stories have filled my head
As I look for the answers in what I've read
Secretly waiting for my life to change
And with this transformation, something's strange
Now my world is bigger than I know
I'm losing all control
I never thought I'd make it
Now I know
This world spins faster than you know
And I'd give anything to show what I'm trying for
Just what I'm fighting for, oh
This world spins faster than you know
Every single heartbeat is something new
And now that I'm immortal, what will I do?
Somehow my wings are a symbol of a bigger change
But still a thousand questions fill my veins
Cause this world is bigger than I know
I'm losing all control
I never thought I'd make it
Now I know
This world spins faster than you know
And I'd give anything to show what I'm trying for
Just what I'm fighting for, oh
This world spins faster than you know
And in a hundred years will I still be the same?
Will I outlive the ones who know my name?
Can I let go of my eternal burning flame?
Without shame? Without pain?
All the same, who's to blame?
And in a thousand years will I be all alone?
Will this still be the place that I call home?
And will I settle down, or will I start to roam
Far from home? Time has shown
What I've known turned to stone
Cause this world is bigger than I know
I'm losing all control
I never thought I'd make it
Now I know
This world spins faster than you know
And I'd give anything to show what I'm trying for
Just what I'm fighting for, oh
This world spins faster than you know
This world spins faster than you know
This world spins faster than you know
