Background
H.N.I.C Lyrics

I could play the background
I am willing to take a step back and let someone else lead.

I know sometimes I get in the way
I am aware that my presence can sometimes hinder progress.

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
I am asking for guidance from a higher power.

And you could take the lead
I am willing to follow if you show the way.

It's evident you run the show, so let me back down
It is clear that someone else is in control, so I will step aside.

You take the leading role, and I'll play the background
I will support the leader and take a secondary role.

I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I am not perfect and make mistakes.

I'm sticking to your script, and I'm reading all your signs (Aye)
I am following your plan and paying attention to your guidance.

I don't need my name in lights, (Aye) I don't need a starring role
I do not need fame or recognition; I am content with a supporting role.

Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just going lose my soul?
I prioritize my spiritual well-being above material success.

And my ways ain't purified, don't live according to Your Word
I acknowledge that I am not following the path that aligns with my moral beliefs.

I can't endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
I need guidance and insight from a higher power in order to navigate life.

So word to every dancer for a pop star
I am offering advice or a warning to those in a similar industry as me.

'Cause we all play the background, but mine's a rockstar
We all support someone else in some way, but my support is particularly impactful.

Yeah, so if you need me I'll be stage right
I will be readily available to help and support.

Praying the whole world would start embracing stage fright
I hope that others will become more humble and willing to take a background role.

So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
I will stop trying to control or influence the situation.

'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessin'
When I prioritize my own desires, I often end up making mistakes.

That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact
I am not as great or important as I may think.

I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
I am simply a small part of a larger vision.

Yo, I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I once thought that I could control my life.

I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank
I eventually lost control and suffered negative consequences.

So I don't want to take the lead, 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
I am aware of my tendency to make errors and want to avoid them.

All these folks who follow me, goin' end up in the wrong place
I do not want to lead others astray.

So just let me shadow you, just let me trace your lines
I will follow and learn from the person in charge.

Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
I will entrust my work to the leader's guidance.

'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm scared that I'll succeed
I fear that if I solely rely on myself, I may fall into arrogance or selfishness.

And no longer trust in You, 'cause I only trust in me
If I only rely on myself, I will lose faith in a higher power.

And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
This mentality can lead to negative consequences.

Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothin'
This path leads to a wasted life.

You pulled my card, I'm bluffin', You know what's in my hand
The higher power knows my true intentions and capabilities.

Me, I just roll and trust you, You cause the dice to land
I will trust the guidance of the leader in charge.

I'm in control of nothing, follow You at any cost
I am willing to submit and follow the leader's guidance without hesitation.

Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
I am comfortable with the person in charge making decisions and asserting their authority.

And man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
I am at peace with taking a supporting role.

I'll play the background, like it's an instrument
I am happy to contribute in a secondary role.

I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word
I feel most secure when I follow the guidance of a higher power and adhere to their teachings.

I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
I acknowledge that relying solely on oneself can lead to mistakes and unclear judgement.

And I ain't got no time to play life's foolish games
I value my time and energy and do not want to waste it on meaningless pursuits.

Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name?
I have personal goals, but I want them to have a positive impact and align with my moral beliefs.

And it's a shame, the way I want to do these things for You, yeet
I feel disappointment in my desire to please others, even if it goes against my moral beliefs.

Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You
I need to take time to connect with a higher power and gain insight from them.

It seems like You were patient in my ignorance
I believe that a higher power is understanding of my mistakes and missteps.

If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this
If not knowing certain information brings happiness, it is because that knowledge may bring negativity or difficulty.
