lirik lagu the dotted line – krystal evette
(verse one)
writing is my passion
it’s how i found my voice
something to disrupt
every single jarring noise
it was a form of therapy
i know that’s a cliche
my words are what have made me
so be that as it may
alone in the darkness
the phrases start to form
i scribble them on paper
so they weather through the storm
i put them to an instrument
and started making songs
still i don’t suspect
that you would ever sing along
(pre chorus)
my diary is public
any set of eyes can read
or placed between their ears
in ways this makes me freed
in other ways i’m terrified
that people view my mind
but since i have them in the world
they’re hard to redefine
(chorus)
my pain is on your speakers
i can’t control who hears
every single piece
will stay with me through the years
the deepest or the bland
they’re displayed with my name
every single snapshot
i’ve signed the outer frame
i don’t watch people listen
i go to the other room
i can’t see reactions
as my garden rots and blooms
i need to set these demons free
but with it comes a price
i open up to all opinions
some evil, some nice
(verse two)
what i’m most afraid of
is the numbers they can reach
what if they’re consumed by
someone off me who could leech
“hey we like your songs
we think they have a chance
we would like to help you
now here is where we stand”
they want me bound to contracts
they want to own my words
alluded that me signing
that my meanings would be blurred
i don’t want to compromise
i don’t want to change my message
i’ve seen too many others fade
it taught me many lessons
(pre chorus 2)
you sign away your speech and soul
just to get a check
i don’t want to be owned
and have a leash around my neck
i think about my idols
and the pain they got assigned
too many things go wrong
when you sign the dotted line
(chorus 2)
my pain is not a profit
this is something that i fear
every choice i make
will stay with me through the years
when i’d make an album now
it won’t just be my name
it’s corporations feeding you
the content of my frame
money isn’t worth it
when behind the scenes is gloom
you won’t see how i really feel
you’d have to just assume
new demons, no longer free
it was not worth the price
the darkness hidden legally
you only see the nice
(bridge 1)
i’m too afraid to sign the line
there’d be no turning back
i’d sell off all my poetry
and in return get stacks
the money isn’t worth it
i need to have control
it can’t be that hard
i have minimal goals
(bridge 2)
i’ll do it on my own
it’s the only choice i’ve got
i can’t be censored down
i need to speak my thoughts
to most this may seem dumb
you sign to get ahead
you’ll do well on the charts
your music would be spread
i don’t need to see the top
i don’t need to be well known
i just want to make music
i don’t need to have a throne
isolation suits me
it’s where i feel at home
i’m confident if i work hard
i’ll make it on my own
