Highways
Vonne Lyrics

I'm weak
I'm exhausted and drained.

From marching with ____ ____
From standing up for what I believe in and fighting for my values.

I don't know the proper way I'm supposed to use my hips
I'm unsure of how to express myself in a way that's socially acceptable.

I wanna hear bass drops
I want to feel the adrenaline rush that comes with music and dancing.

Use all the stage props
Make use of all the tools and resources available to me to put on the best performance possible.

Burn my tank tops
Express myself freely without worrying about societal norms and expectations.

Feel a breeze in my hair
Experience the freedom of being alive.

It's crazy
Life is unpredictable and hectic.

This is what I asked for
I wanted to be a performer and share my art with the world, but the reality of it can be overwhelming.

I had no clue
I was unaware of the challenges that come with pursuing my dreams.

What was gonna be in store
What I would have to face in the process of achieving my goals.

So I shop online
I use retail therapy as a way to cope with the stress and pressure of my life.

Cry all the time
I'm emotional and sensitive, and the weight of my situation often feels overwhelming.

I still do things I should've stopped in my prime (wo-oh)
I have habits and behaviors that are harmful to me, but I struggle to break free of them.

I hate driving highways
Driving on highways makes me anxious and uncomfortable.

Growing up
As I've matured and gained life experience.

I couldn't wear black
I was limited and controlled by societal norms and expectations.

I hid a lot of things but I'd still go back
I wasn't my true self, but I long for the simplicity and comfort of the past.

I dream of him
I'm haunted by a past relationship or memory.

The lights down dim
The mood is dark and somber.

Pale fingers running over my black lace trim
I have a vivid memory of a past intimate moment.

It's baby boom
The world is experiencing a surge in population growth.

The ____ ____ ____
The drinks are flowing and the party atmosphere is wild.

The bottles freezing over show me dive in twos
The coldness of the drinks doesn't deter people from enjoying them and socializing.

I'm drowning in fear
I feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by my fears and anxieties.

With fake friends near
I'm surrounded by people who pretend to be my friends but are actually selfish and disloyal.

I had a best friend but she's no longer here (wo-oh)
I've lost someone I cared deeply about and it still hurts me deeply.
