Staring At The Sun
The Rooster Lyrics

Daylight on my shoulder
The sun's light shining on me makes me feel alive and reminds me of the opportunities that exist in life.

Makes me feel alive
The sun's light energizes me and gives me the motivation to pursue my dreams and goals.

You kept me standing in your shadow
You overshadowed me, preventing me from reaching my full potential and living the life I wanted to lead.

And it's a cold cold place to hide
Living in someone's shadow is a lonely and limiting experience, where your own goals and aspirations are ignored.

I'm running away from this messed up place
I'm trying to escape this harmful and oppressive environment that has been holding me back.

I'm breaking free, yeah yeah
I'm finally freeing myself from the constraints and limitations that have been placed on me.

I'm tired of staring at the sun
I'm tired of putting up with the harmful and damaging behavior that comes with being in someone's shadow.

Can't stand the way you burn my eyes so I can't see
I can no longer tolerate being blinded to my own potential and goals, overshadowed by someone else's.

Stealing every breath I breathe
This toxic environment is emotionally and physically exhausting, suffocating my real passions and hopes.

You push me into overdrive
Your relentless need to control me and undermine my goals puts me under undue pressure and strain.

And I don't need this kind of high 'cause now I'm done
I am refusing to be manipulated and strung along any longer, and I don't need this kind of false sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

You took everything while I was staring at the sun
While I was trying to blind myself to your harmful behavior, you took advantage and exploited me, taking away everything I had previously aspired to.

I know you won't let me
I understand that you will try to stop me from leaving and reaching my full potential.

Just turn and walk away
I'm determined to break free from your hold and to move forward to a brighter future.

You tie me up kick me around
Your manipulation and control have left me feeling trapped and powerless, constantly at the mercy of your whims.

Trying to kill my dreams and break me down
You've actively and maliciously discouraged and suppressed any hope I had of achieving my goals and aspirations.

But I won't hang around
I won't be complacent any longer, I won't allow myself to be held back by your selfish aims and desires.

I know it's time to run
I realize that it's time to leave, to escape from this harmful and oppressive environment and to pursue my own goals and dreams without any restraints or limitations.
