Roxana - Upside Down ( cinematic • dark soul )

[Verse 1] They taught me how to fold my wings How to be gentle, how to be clean How to become what they could name How to hide the fire inside my veins Be beautiful. Be quiet. Be holy. Don't be wild. I learned to see myself Through someone else's eyes And every part they couldn't hold I learned to call a lie. So many walls became my skin So many rules became my voice I thought the cage was keeping me safe Until I realized I had become the cage. [Chorus] I turned the hope upside down and found the truth beneath the crown They called the fire something dark but I was only hiding sparks Let the old name fall away let every borrowed face decay I won't become what they designed I leave the ashes of my mind [Verse 2] There was a woman underneath Every role I learned to play Mother, lover, saint, sinner Everything but my own name And what they feared inside of me Was never meant to be destroyed It was the part that wouldn't kneel The voice they couldn't make a void I stood between two worlds At the crossroads of the night One path asked me to disappear The other asked me to ignite. And suddenly I understood The demon had my face But maybe I was never evil Maybe I had only been misplaced. [Chorus] I turned the hope upside down and found the truth beneath the crown They called the fire something dark but I was only hiding sparks Let the old name fall away let every borrowed face decay I won't become what they designed I leave the ashes of my mind [Bridge] I called myself a demon, because I did not fit the temple. I folded my wings, so no one would be afraid of them. But tonight I do not burn myself. I burn the shape. And I rise without the name they gave me. [Final Chorus] I turned the hope upside down and found myself beneath the crown I thought the fire would make me fall but it was never meant to burn me at all Let the old name fall away let every borrowed face decay I won't become what they designed I leave the ashes of my mind No cage. No crown. No saint. No demon. Just breath. Just fire. Just me. _____________________________ Text: Vanessa Sivaro Visuals: Canva Audio: Suno
