The Visionary (Ash Ver.) | Indie Sad Song

Описание: A song about being hard on yourself and slowly realizing that sometimes the pressure isn’t ambition, but fear.

It’s about calling yourself “ahead of your time” while quietly wondering if you’re just deluding yourself, keeping yourself from trying out of fear that you will fail. About redrawing the finish line. About telling yourself you could win “if you really wanted to.”

aftercredits is a small space for the things we tell ourselves after the credits roll on the day.

Headphones recommended.

LYRICS

Have you ever been at war with yourself?
The kind where nobody else can tell.
You smile and say you’re doing fine,
But you redraw the finish line every time.

But you’re the visionary, right?
Ahead of your time.
Seeing the cracks in every design.

If you ease up, who’s gonna keep your ego in line?
You’re the visionary, right?
But why does it sound hollow at night?

Your friends are buying homes
And picking Baby names
“Can you believe I’m getting married next week!”

But you call yourself unique.
You say you prefer to be alone.
Say you don’t need someone to be whole.
Then you sit in your quiet room
And the silence gives you gloom.
Who's gonna want to BE with YOU anyway?

But you're the visionary, right?
If happiness fades, at least you were aware, right?
If love falls apart,
You’ll say you called it from the start.
You’re the visionary, right?
After all, you’re safest when you’re right.

They say, “You’re too hard on yourself.”

I know… trust me.
But my head won’t let me be.
Maybe I hide behind “logic”.
Maybe I weaponize my doubt.
Maybe if I can predict every ending,
I won't ever have to find out.

I say, “When I try, I’ll surely win,”
Like effort is some switch.

But what if the truth is simple...
I don't have what it takes.
After all you don’t miss
Any shots you don’t take.

I’m the visionary, right?
Always ahead of my time.
Or just a coward who calls it a flawed design.

If I took it seriously,
If I really tried
Would I lose the excuse
That I never applied?
Then finally find out
I was never that right.
