The upbeat dance track is laced with aggressive lyrics and an addicting melody that is sure to move you. Inspired by getting let go out of a previous contract the band used their redemption story in their lives and brought it to the world of The Simulation. Feeling free from everything holding you back.
lyrics
I got no pressure
I’m finally free
I got no heartache, the heartache don’t got no hold on me
I got three wishes
I don’t need three
I need to always and always remember to be me
I don’t want your loving and
You can keep your cocaine cuz
I don’t need you helping hand
You can just stay insane, yeah
This is forever
Our ties our severed
Don’t mean to test ya
This is forever, yeah!
Ooo ooo you got me feeling like gold
I gotta shake sh-shake deep in my soul
You can keep all your highs
You can take all your lows
Cuz this is what I finally found
I’m feeling much better now
I feel it, I feel it, I’m, I’m feeling much better now
I feel it, I feel it, I’m, I’m feeling much better now
I’m so elated
Your voice has faded
I’m not feeling defeated I’m feeling like we made it
No longer anxious
My fears got patience
We made you nameless and faceless without no hesitation
I don’t want your loving and
You can keep your cocaine
Cuz I don’t need you helping and
You can just stay insane, yeah
This is forever
Our ties our severed
Don’t mean to test ya
This is forever, yeah!
Ooo ooo you got me feeling like gold
I gotta shake sh-shake deep in my soul
You can keep all your highs
You can take all your lows
Cuz this is what I finally found
I’m feeling much better now
I feel it, I feel it, I’m, I’m feeling much better now
I feel it, I feel it, I’m, I’m feeling much better now
Ooo ooo you got me feeling like gold
I gotta shake sh-shake deep in my soul
You can keep all your highs
You can take all your lows
Cuz this is what I finally found
I’m feeling much better now
I feel it, I feel it, I’m, I’m feeling much better now
I feel it, I feel it, I’m, I’m feeling much better now
Ooo ooo you got me feeling like gold
I gotta shake sh-shake deep in my soul
You can keep all your highs
You can take all your lows
Cuz this is what I finally found
I’m feeling much better now
