"The Strive for Freedom" by Remelectra
My Strive (album description)
My lyrics mean a lot to me but exposing them is out of my comfort zone but I’m all about living outside of it. What makes it hard for me is that I don’t think that what I write is good enough cause it comes from the part of me that all my insecurities come from. That part of me is a byproduct of everything I’ve been through. It’s the part of me that remains from all of the damage even though it got better, like a scar.
I used to hate the scars on my knees and legs but now I think of scars as meaningful marks that show you’re a survivor of the deep cuts. The things that cut you deep can really effect who you become either positively or negatively but either way these scars are a part of who you are and always will be. It’s pretty much in our nature to hide these scars as if they are meant to be ashamed of. But scars are some of the most amazing and important things because they never completely fade away. They make you who you really are and that’s exactly who you were meant to be.
In the meanwhile there’s an enemy that exists in everyone’s mind. An enemy that makes us feel bad about who we are and puts us under the pressure of being something we’re not meant to be. Its lies are convincing and some of us give into its pressure while others know it’s wrong and constantly have to fight the thoughts it forces into their mind. It limits us from being ourselves. It makes us want to hide our scars and fake that we are someone else.
My lyrics go back to the lowest of my lows. It shows how I rose up from it and then comes back to the current effects of everything I went though and how the enemy of my thoughts sometimes comes back into my mind. The reoccurrence of the old thoughts from the hardest times captivates my mind.
I’m striving for freedom from the enemy and the pressure it puts on me. I’m striving for freedom to be myself and expose my scars. I’m striving for freedom from everything that limits me to being less than what God created me to be. All my lyrics are a part of my Strive for freedom and I hope they encourage someone to open their mind and strive for the same kind of freedom that I’m striving for so that one day they can experience it.
