Between Two Worlds

歌詞

In the subway car, like an aquarium glass A river of people, colors flowing past Some are staring, sending secret signs But in my headphones, I’m fine, I’m just fine My screen’s no shield, it’s a portal instead Where friends, family, and colleagues connect Where jokes and laughter make a world I can hold Where my voice is heard, pure and bold And that guy… (Am I the only one he sees?) Looks so sad, like I’m guilty somehow He thinks I’m trapped, caught in a cage But this is my choice —I love my quiet now Who are you to try and “save” me? (Save me?) From the claws of your fantasy? (What claws?) My gaze didn’t sink— it’s floating free Between two worlds that weave into my reality Is there a prince? Nah, my friend sends a funny track No reason to end the chat, I’m not looking back Texting with those who really care Who know the weight of my day and my wear Advice that’s real, never empty or fake Support that lifts me, not just shadows I take Memes become our laughter, our secret tongue Our shield against boredom, against the mundane run You see armor, but it’s my life on the edge Flying high, and I set the pledge Who are you to try and “save” me? (Save me?) From the claws of your fantasy? (What claws?) My gaze didn’t sink— it’s floating free Between two worlds that weave into my reality Is there a prince? Nah, my friend sends a funny track No reason to end the chat, I’m not looking back He sees the picture, but not the meaning Projects a fairy tale where I need saving For him I’m not human, just a story to win But I’m the pilot here —I choose who comes in Strangers passing, shadows in the train You don’t get to judge my domain My “prince” is me, and my friends I adore We don’t need your fiction, or imagined wars Who are you to try and “save” me? (Save me?) From the claws of your fantasy? (What claws?) My gaze didn’t sink— it’s floating free Between two worlds that weave into my reality Behind my phone screen lies a vast, bright sphere The train doors open, and my real life’s here
