Hi All
So⦠Danny & I, we wrote & produced this superb song together about what itās been like for me being ADHD
Unfortunately you will have to tolerate my mug in the video š But I thought the song might resonate with some of you⦠š„°
Let us know what you think š„°
PS.. Iāve included the lyrics for youā¦.
Lyrics..
[Verse 1]
I grew up thinking I was broken glass
Shattered focus, never built to last
Teachers said, "You just donāt try"
But I was running marathons inside my mind
Every promise that I meant to keep
Slipped like water through my sleep
I wore the word "lazy" like a stain
While a thousand sparks ran through my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to fit into the quiet lines
But my colors bled outside every time
[Chorus]
There was static in my head
Lightning where they saw a thread
All the noise I couldnāt name
All the guilt and all the shame
Now Iām learning what it means
All the missed and in-betweens
I was never wrong or bad
Just a heart with ADHD - that I never knew i had.
[Verse 2]
Late nights lost in rabbit holes
Hyper-focused on impossible goals
Brilliant sparks, then burning out
A carousel of fear and doubt
I mourn the years I criticized
The scattered dreams I minimized
If I had known what I know now
Iād have given grace somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
Turns out my mindās just wired to roam
A restless star that needs its own sky to call home
[Chorus]
There was static in my head
Lightning where they saw a thread
All the noise I couldnāt name
All the guilt and all the shame
Now Iām learning what it means
All the missed and in-betweens
I was never wrong or bad
Just a heart with ADHD - that I never knew i had.
[Bridge]
What if the chaos is a kind of art?
A constellation torn apart
Every tangent, every leap
Is a promise my brain was meant to keep
Iām not too much, Iām not too late
Iām re-writing every label of my fate
[Chorus]
There was static in my head
But now I hear the song instead
All the noise has found a frame
I can finally call its name
Thereās a fire in my stride
No more war I have to hide
I was never wrong or bad
Just a heart learning its ADHD at last
[Outro]
So hereās to every scattered dream
Every "why canāt you just be?"
We were never meant to fit
In boxes we outgrew bit by bit
There was static in my head
Now itās symphonies instead
