Скачать или смотреть The Bright Side | An Anthem Against Toxic Positivity (Industrial Pop-Punk)

"You’re bringing a yoga mat to a knife fight..." 🧘‍♀️🔪

"The Bright Side" is a ferocious Industrial Pop-Punk track that takes a sledgehammer to the "Good Vibes Only" culture. It starts with a sweet lie and explodes into the messy truth.

This song is for anyone who has been told to "choose happiness" while their world is burning down. It validates the anger, the grief, and the "glitching" reality of being human. Put down the sage, turn up the volume, and stop apologizing for your pain.

Lyrics: (Don't worry...)
(Be happy...)
(SHUT UP!)
You hand me a sticker with a yellow smiley face,
While the walls are crumbling all over the place.
"Just change your mindset!" "Just manifest the light!"
You’re bringing a yoga mat to a knife fight.
I’m bleeding out on the carpet, I’m screaming in the void,
And you’re telling me my aura is getting annoyed.
Put down the crystals, put down the sage,
Don't paint flowers on the bars of my cage!
(It’s still a cage!)
I’m allowed to be angry, I’m allowed to be sad!
I’m allowed to lose the things that I never had!
Your toxic optimism is a spiritual crime,
Stop trying to fast-forward through my difficult time!
Don’t tell me to look on the bright side!
My eyes are burning from the glare!
You’re pasting over the cracks in the landslide,
Pretending that the danger isn't there!
(Good Vibes Only!)
Is a threat to the truth!
(Good Vibes Only!)
Is a lie for the youth!
If you can't handle the storm, then get out of the rain,
But don't ask me to apologize for feeling my pain!
You’re allergic to the shadows, you’re addicted to the glow,
If it isn't Instagrammable, you don't want to know.
"Everything happens for a reason," you say with a grin,
Tell that to the wreckage that I’m drowning in.
You want a robot, you don't want a friend,
Someone to nod and smile until the bitter end.
Well, I’m glitching out, I’m breaking the code,
I’m the pothole on your perfect yellow brick road!
(Watch your step!)
I’m allowed to be angry, I’m allowed to be sad!
I’m allowed to lose the things that I never had!
Your toxic optimism is a spiritual crime,
Stop trying to fast-forward through my difficult time!
Don’t tell me to look on the bright side!
My eyes are burning from the glare!
You’re pasting over the cracks in the landslide,
Pretending that the danger isn't there!
(Good Vibes Only!)
Is a threat to the truth!
(Good Vibes Only!)
Is a lie for the youth!
If you can't handle the storm, then get out of the rain,
But don't ask me to apologize for feeling my pain!
Swallow the pill.
Force the smile.
Hide the body.
Stay in denial.
(No bad days...)
(No bad days...)
(No bad days...)
(SCREAM!)
(Hey! Hey!)
Don’t tell me to look on the bright side!
(Burn the bright side!)
My eyes are burning from the glare!
You’re pasting over the cracks in the landslide,
Pretending that the danger isn't there!
If you can't handle the storm, then get out of the rain,
But don't ask me to apologize for feeling my pain!
(I feel so much better now.)
(Thanks.)
