about

'Roraima' is the name of a mountain in Venezuela; a place I've always dreamed to go since middle school. This song is not necessarily about Mount Roraima but about a dream I used to have; when a dream comes true, it immediately turns into another mundane reality that soon leaves our heart longing for more. I've come to realise that my dreams are just protections I've created for myself, illusions of an escape; a place where I can find total control in a life where I feel like nothing is truly mine. These thoughts and feelings have created a heavy cloud of loneliness that has kept me feeling empty and detached from the world. Yet, the only reason I can't truly let go is the fact that I still want to be loved and remembered, still want to create something that is more meaningful than my own life and last longer than my own body. Ironically, I've created an escape from this world just so I could forever be a part of it.

I want this song to sound like how it would to be standing on the top of a mountain ... you’ve come all this way but in the end it means nothing. It hurts to stay there but hurts more to leave. I've spent a big part of my life living for someone else's dream even though I knew very well that one day it was bound to break, wasted my time trying to reach something that instinctively I've always known was unattainable.... To me, this fact is scary, yet relieving at the same time. Everyone is tired but we are still trying our best; I think that in itself is a beautiful thing. In the end, all illusions and dreams stem from a place of unconscious truth and honesty that can reveal the reality better than anything if only you have the courage to confront your own heart. I want to be brave and courageous and create something that can help others to do the same. I hope this song can speak to someone :)

lyrics

Stop and stand here for a while
Cus I've forgotten my own name
As we sleepwalked our way up here
I can't remember why we came

I wanna free fall let these clouds enfold me
If I jump now, will you
Come and join me?

Is this a dream,
Is it still a dream if we never wake?
Ironically
I'm not so sure now if I want to stay

Look how far we've come
We're on the top but why do I feel so small?
And as the fog shield lays out it's hard to see
The ground beneath
Though that's where I used to be

I can't stay here
This air's too heavy
But if I jump now
I'm scared you'll forget me

I'm scared you'll forget me

(Don't forget me)

Is this a dream,
Is it still a dream if we never wake?
Ironically
I'm not so sure now if I want to stay
