Description

It sounds like a motivational speech delivered not in a gym, but directly in your head - with hoarseness, anger, and internal caffeine. Every word is like a push-up for your character, every line a blow to doubt. This isn't about inspiration, but about stubbornness: about those who don't wait for applause, but just do it.

The music roars like the engine of an old bike - uneven, loud, but honest. And instead of mantras about success, there's a simple formula for survival: don't give up, don't pretend, don't slow down. Because the world may be noisy and fake, but who said you can't shout it down with your “I'll get there anyway”?

Lyrics and translation

Original

Everybody's so punk on the internet. Everyone's unbothered 'til they're not.

Every joke's just trolling and memes. Sad as it seems, apathy is hot.

Everybody's cutthroat in the comments. Every single hot take is cold as ice.

When you found me, I said I was busy. That was a lie.

I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness.

I've been dying just from trying to seem cool.

But I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage.

But I'm never gonna let you down.

I'm never gonna leave you out. So many traitors, smooth operators.

But I'm never gonna break that vow.

I'm never gonna leave you now.

Now.

Now.

You know the last time I laughed this hard was on the trampoline in somebody's backyard. I must have been about eight or nine.

That was the night I fell off and broke my arm.

Pretty soon I learned cautious discretion when your first crush crushes something kind. When I said I don't believe in marriage, that was a lie.

Every eldest daughter was the first lamb to the slaughter, so we all dressed up as wolves and we loved fire.

But I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage.

But I'm never gonna let you down.

I'm never gonna leave you out.

So many traitors, smooth operators. But I'm never gonna break that vow.

I'm never gonna leave you now.

Now.

Now.

We lie back, a beautiful, beautiful time lapse.

Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs, and things I said were dumb.

'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful, beautiful life that shimmers that innocent light back, like when we were young.

Every youngest child felt they were raised up in the wild, but now you're home.

'Cause I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage.

And I'm never gonna let you down.

I'm never gonna leave you out. So many traitors, smooth operators.

But I'm never gonna break that vow.

I'm never gonna leave you now.

Now. Now.

Never gonna break that vow.

Oh. Never gonna leave you now.

Now.

I'm never gonna leave you now.
