Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve been on my own these days yeah heart frozen uh
I’ve been on my own these days 'tryna keep it together yeah yeah aye yeah yeah yeah
I’ve been on my own these days
'Tryna keep it together I’m staying strong these days MIA
I’ve been all alone these days just a devil angel and a microphone these days yeah
Just a devil angel and a microphone yeah
One says I’m nothing one keeps telling me I’m chosen
One says I’m nothing one keeps telling me I’m chosen
Heart frozen I’m going numb again yeah
Devil was knocking now he coming in yeah
And I ain’t running I'ma look him in eyes now
I count
Days like seconds
Life's been moving fast every moment is a blessing
My mind's turning on me either way it’s still a weapon
The only way to learn is to live what a lesson
My life is a movie something like Will in I Am Legend
Somehow I just keep forgetting and my doubts tell me I’m worthless
Then I think of all the work I put in like I deserve it
I’m still workin’ and I’ll get what I came for ‘cause I earned it
I don’t do no comparin’ I ain’t saying that I’m perfect
But being me is fine I put my battles in these verses
And try to count my blessings while I’m battling these curses
I was on the curb when I should’ve been in churches
Almost threw my life away you would’ve thought it was on purpose
I’m still learning no one’s perfect yeah
I’ve been on my own these days
'Tryna keep it together I’m staying strong these days MIA
I’ve been all alone these days just a devil angel and a microphone these days yeah
Just a devil angel and a microphone yeah
One says I’m nothing one keeps telling me I’m chosen
Just a devil angel and a microphone yeah
One says I’m nothing one keeps telling me I’m chosen
I’m on my own it’s just me and my thoughts
Me and my feelings broke apart don’t even speak to my heart
My vision getting blurry I’m still keeping it sparked
It’s how I move on I can’t keep it in park
I’m 'tryna cope 'tryna deal with the pressure and depression
Lately I can’t deal with bad vibes I been catching
So I don’t even give them a chance to get near me
By myself only time I see clearly

With 70 active players (defined as the number of plyers that have played this week), it's time for a comparison of seasons, their economies, and resulting behavior to the Citizens.
@loeffel4144
That is for sure a lot of people playing on a server actively. Congratulations to this and for more ongoing fun.
P.S.: I skip the drawing, as I still have to licenses to give to a friend. ;)
@liltimmydidit1617
What server provider would you recommend for Eco? I want to set a server up for me and about 12 friends
@rathelmmc3194
I think one of the biggest differences between S7 and previous seasons (never played 4 but started in 5) is that the amount of builders we have this season is massive. On S5 there were only a few of us that even wanted to make any creative builds. This season it feels like half the players are making really cool stuff.
@GFalconDX
This season has been very interesting with the 4 towns. It’s very interesting in seeing how each town developed or how sparse it is (Petra being an example).
@prome3us550
Your videos pushed me over the edge to finally buy Eco; and i played a few different servers (modded, vanilla, so-called long terms) waiting for dadspeed 7 to kick off.
The feeling of co-operative competition and general tone of 90% of the dadspeeders is something i didnt find on any other server. It truly is beginner and veteran friendly and i would suggest everyone try at least once in their eco career.
Thanks for the always informative and awesome videos, and for some love to the contract killers crypt in mount reinier 😋
@Oearth
What an awesome testimony to DadSpeed!! :D
@joshuahoare1952
earth videos are always informative and well rounded with information. My brother is tempted to give ECO a go with his mates, so I sent him this video :)
@Oearth
Much appreciated Joshua!! :D
@anothergoogleuser
Earth videos are always the best, in-depth videos. Thanks for sharing.
