WITHIN THE ALBUM

The departure does not have to be perfect.

In the fiction of Burst of Life, Bumpy Road is the map unfolded on the dashboard. From childhood memories to the desire to leave, the titles trace a road traveled with hesitation. Plastic Dinosaurs and Paper Airplane Dreams place small things beside big dreams.

The journey then opens onto Wildflower Road, Mountain Song, and Passport Dreams. This editorial route connects the stages without imposing a plot on the lyrics: listeners can find their own departures, detours, and places they would like to return to.

Begin with the first track to follow the album’s order; Paper Airplane Dreams also offers an immediate way into its world.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Staring at the mirror, but i don't recognize
The person looking back with fear behind their eyes
Been playing by the rules, been living someone else's life
But tonight i'm cutting through the chains with my own knife
They told me who to be, they told me what to say
But their opinions don't define me anyway
I'm done with being small, i'm done with playing safe
Tonight i'm gonna show them what i'm really made of

I'm breaking free, breaking free
From everything that's holding me
No more chains, no more lies
I'm ready to touch the sky
Breaking free, breaking free
This is who i'm meant to be
Watch me rise, watch me fly
I'm breaking free tonight

Used to be afraid of what the world would think
Standing on the edge but scared to take the leap
Now i feel the power coursing through my soul
I'm taking back control, i'm taking back control
The voices in my head are getting quieter
The doubt is fading fast, i'm getting stronger
This is my moment, this is my time
To leave the past behind and make this life mine

I'm breaking free, breaking free
From everything that's holding me
No more chains, no more lies
I'm ready to touch the sky
Breaking free, breaking free
This is who i'm meant to be
Watch me rise, watch me fly
I'm breaking free tonight

They said i'd never make it on my own
They said i'd come back crawling home
But i've got fire in my heart
I've been ready from the start
To break these walls down
To turn this world around
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm breaking free somehow

I'm breaking free, breaking free
From everything that's holding me
No more chains, no more lies
I'm ready to touch the sky
Breaking free, breaking free
This is who i'm meant to be
Watch me rise, watch me fly
I'm breaking free tonight
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm breaking free tonight
