Voices
Bossfight & Philip Strand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No fear as they fill up my lungs
No light in the tunnel
I'm fighting for my life
And I'm giving up TKO
Even though I am surrounded
I still feel alone
But my shadow keeps me company
'Cause everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
Telling me I ain't good enough
And everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
Telling me I'm not good enough
'Cause everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
'Cause everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
And everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
I'm seeing faces
And everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
Telling me I'm not good enough
Head down in the water
No fear as they fill, fill, fill up
No, no light, no, no light in the tunnel
I'm fighting for my life
And I, I giving up
Even though I am surrounded
I still feel alone
'Cause everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
Telling me I ain't good enough
And everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
Telling me I'm not good enough
'Cause everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
'Cause everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
And everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
I'm seeing faces
And everywhere I go
I'm seeing faces
I'm hearing voices
Telling me I'm not good enough

Even after having a writers block, Bossfight still hasn’t lost his touch whatsoever. Him getting back together with Strand too also makes this an incredible OG track return

@Hanu Sharma If you think about it, maybe this song is about that writers block. It paints a picture about how someone keeps hearing things telling him he's not good enough. Maybe those voices were speaking to Bossfight. Maybe they were telling him that because he had writer's block that he was a failure.
So the story is, in fact, memorable. It tells a story that I'd love to hear over and over again, like a child hearing his favourite bedtime story.
