1983 Lyrics

Long ago in 1983 there was a baby almost left to die

And all I had to do was fight to survive

It wasn't right but what else could I do?

Just another number easily thrown away

And what a lie with nothing left to lose

I almost died in 1983!

Who are the enemies?

Who are the heroes?

They wanted to put an end to me!

1983 carved its mark in me

A scar from a past that won't set me free

I've been lost in the dark no light in sight

No longer waiting—I'm ready to fight

1983 left its brand on my soul

I'm breaking the chains reclaiming control

I'm leaving these ties that bind

This place still holds me feeds on my fears

I don't want your dreams; but I'll take mine

And before I go I'll leave you a sign

I know my place in life's play

But you'll never understand the weight I bear—

Do you even care?

There's a demon deep inside

Twisting my thoughts causing internal divide

You can settle if you want to die

Or you can rise and cut through the lies

1983 carved its mark in me

A scar from a past that won't let me be

Lost in the dark still reaching for light

No fear remains—I'm ready to fight

1983 I won't be confined

I'm claiming my voice reclaiming my mind

I've got a place beyond these fears

And every step brings it nearer

This time is mine no more disguise

And I'm never looking back to 1983
