Sven Andrew - I´m Not Alright

Show more

I'm happy to present my fourth own single that carries the name "I'm Not Alright". As the title implies, the song was written during a very difficult phase in my life that happened about 3 months ago. I felt totally empty and unnoticed. It was like I was living in an upside-down world and this is what I wanted to show in the video. In this day and age, it is more common than most people think. Feeling the pressure to portray a happy, satisfied or successful facade on the outside, while feeling empty, alone, scared or broken down on the inside. It is a combination of being ashamed for the state that you are in and a fear of being misunderstood and condemned for what is going on. Putting on the daily facade or keeping silent are both considered matters of selfprotection. It doesn’t matter whether young or old, rich or poor. Everyone has their problems. My problem is that I can’t shut my head off, meaning that I’m constantly at a certain stress level, because I can’t detach my head from the daily chains that force you to do things I don’t want to. I have to hide from myself and music seems to be the only way to escape and to express myself. Express my real feelings. To let out what is chewing me up on the inside. My soul has gone into every line of the song and describes my inner feelings. Musically, I’ve used a mix of different musical elements.The DNB elements were used for the drive, the guitar gives it the power and the keys the feeling. I’ve even integrated an old flute. In this song, I just wanted to yell out loud… “what the F#@k !!!”. Every line is authentic and I hope that the listener can feel that.

Songtext:

Songtext:  I´m Not Alright

Verse 1:

Listen,
why dont you listen
i can explain it
and dont feel shame for
being different
I dont know the answer
why dont you listen
why wont you listen

Chorus:
I´m Not Alright
as i´ve told you before
youre all blind
when im infront of you

I´ll never be fine
with myself and
I can still be shocked
about all your lies

No pride
no self esteem anymore
resigned, torn apart trough the core

I´ll never be fine
with myself and
I can still be shocked
about all your lies

Verse 2:

Listen,
why dont you listen
The hell is screaming for me
end of story

I´ll never integrate myself in circle spins
cause of all this something that ive never been
Listen,  why dont you listen

Chorus 2:

I´m Not Alright
as i´ve told you before
youre all blind
when im infront of you

I´ll never be fine
with myself and
I can still be shocked
about all your lies

No pride
no self esteem anymore
resigned, torn apart trough the core

I´ll never be fine
with myself and
I can still be shocked
about all your lies

C Part:

Over my shoulders
are demons its over
no way to escape
again and again
it seems that i´ll die

if there no change in sight
come tell me what you´ll do
with someones life, i couldn´t care less
im feeling empty within cause
when theres nowhere to go
i think its time for a new begin.

Break: 2x

Burn down what is holding me back im gonna
rise up i´ll be back on my track wanna

Outro: 4 x

Burn down what is holding me back im gonna
rise up i´ll be back on my track wanna

1 x
I´m Not Alright
as i´ve told you before
youre all blind
when im infront of you

I´ll never be fine
with myself and
I can still be shocked
about all your lies
