Lyrics

I’m flying under the radar today
Masking my emotions
They’re so far down they’re out of sight
Don’t know how I got through another day

And everyone thinks I’m normal
Everything seems alright
Everyone sees what they want to
They see the day but not the night time

There was a time before now
When everything seemed so simple
Like the way we live today
Will appear to those in the future
You could park in the street
You could cross the road safely
And people were polite
They knew how to behave in the past

I’m flying under the radar today
Masking my emotions
So far down, they’re out of sight
Don’t know how I’ll get through another day
And everyone thinks I’m normal
And everyone thinks I’m normal
Cos everything seems alright
Everybody sees what they want
They see the day but not the night time
Under the radar today

Under the radar

Really like this. Great delivery and tempo. Well done!

Beautiful vocal melody. Very wistful. The repeating guitar part is the perfect vibe to carry the lyrics.

Definitely a keeper.

What a beautiful melody! I love the verse that looks both back and forwards: "There was a time before now / When everything seemed so simple / Like the way we live today / Will appear to those in the future." That's a feeling that I have often but I've never heard it put into song. I love how concisely you captured that. Lovely work.

Wow! Beautiful! Loved it from the first second. The beautiful singer/songwriter style, your beautiful touching voice. And the lyrics resonated very much with me. I wished for a glimpse of hope at the end, but you speak from my heart. <3
