Listen
Beyoncè Lyrics

Listen to the song here in my heart A melody I start but can't complete
Pay attention to the emotions and thoughts that are deeply rooted within me, even though I'm only beginning to express them through this song and I may not have fully articulated them yet.

Listen to the sound from deep within It's only beginning to find release
Tune in to my inner voice which is gradually becoming louder and more confident, as my music begins to take shape and is becoming a channel to release my innermost feelings.

Oh the time has come for my dreams to be heard They will not be pushed aside and turned Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
It's time for me to be heard and for my aspirations to be taken seriously, rather than being ignored or co-opted for someone else's interests, due to your lack of attentiveness and empathy.

Listen I am alone at a crossroads I'm not at home in my own home And I've tried and tried To say what's on my mind You should have known oh Now I'm done believing you You don't know what I'm feeling I'm more than what You've made of me I followed the voice, you gave to me But now I've gotta find my own You should have listened
Listen to me now, because I'm at a pivotal moment in my life where I'm oscillating between different paths and identities, feeling disconnected from my familiar surroundings and struggling to communicate my true thoughts and feelings to you. You had the chance to understand me and support me, but now I've lost faith in you and your ability to empathize with my struggles. You've constrained my potential with your expectations and advice, and although I initially trusted you and followed your guidance, I now realize that I need to establish my own identity and live on my own terms.

There was someone here inside Someone I thought had died So long ago Oh I'm screaming out And my dreams will be heard They will not be pushed aside or turned Into your own All 'cause you won't listen
There's a part of me that has been neglected and suppressed for a long time, but which is now re-emerging with a vengeance, as I'm reclaiming my individuality and ambitions. I'm trying to reach out to you and express my innermost emotions, but you're still resistant or dismissive, which only makes me more frustrated and determined to stay true to myself and assert my own voice.

I don't know where I belong But I'll be moving on If you don't, if you won't
I'm feeling lost and conflicted about my identity and my place in this world, but I refuse to be stuck in this limbo forever. If you refuse to listen to me and support me in my journey of self-discovery, then I'll have to leave you behind and carve my own path, even if it's uncertain and challenging.

Listen to the song here in my heart A melody I start, but I will complete
Pay attention to my creativity and my expressive power, as I'm committed to finishing what I've started and sharing my art with the world, even if it means venturing into uncharted territory and facing resistance.

OH now I am done believing you You don't know not what I am feeling I'm more than what you've made of me I followed the voice you think you gave to me But now I got to find my own My Own
I'm done with relying on your guidance and approval, because you've failed to understand my true potential and the magnitude of my emotions. I'm not just a reflection of your expectations and assumptions, but a complex and autonomous individual who needs to define their own path and voice, regardless of the obstacles ahead.
