SURVIVAL MODE | When Your Mind Won’t Let You Feel Safe

When silence feels unsafe. When peace feels like a warning. When your body keeps fighting even when there is nothing left to run from. This song is about invisible battles, losing yourself, surviving difficult relationships, and slowly learning how to breathe again. **“I’m still here… I’m shaking but I’m still here.”** SURVIVAL MODE is not the end of the story. It’s the moment you realize that what happened to you does not get to define who you become. ● From fear to strength. ● From surviving to reclaiming yourself. ● From being controlled to taking back your soul. 🎧 Listen with headphones for the full cinematic experience.

Every choice… wasn’t my choice You rewrote every line in me Now I’m learning how to breathe Shame in my bones, trust out of reach Numb to the love I used to need But somewhere deep, a spark remains Calling my name… calling my name [Build Drop] I gave you all till nothing stayed Lost myself just to feel okay Mood swings hit like tidal waves Too much heart, too much pain But I’m done tying my worth to you Done breaking just to pull you through [Final Chorus] I was stuck in survival mode Living like my soul was owed No chains, no cage I couldn’t see But you had control of me I’m still here… STILL HERE Yeah I broke but I rebuilt here Survival mode… let it go I’m taking back my soul [Outro] No more walking on eggshells No more losing myself I’m not your damage to hold I’m not your story to control I’m still here… And this time… I know ========================= https://www.ericme.com (Multimedia+Graphics Design) ========================= Subscribe to our Free Playlist below:    • One Song. One Heart at a Time. (Original S...   ‪@ericme-Music-Design‬
