LYRICS:
so exhausted with ego
& feelings that free load
& leave me so empty
all the parties of people
moving the needle
obsessing, never ending
watch me take it over
move your body over
make a little room for me
see ‘em at the top
or leave ‘em at the bottom
focus on the come up
become someone
moving up the ladder
doesn’t really matter
as long as i am in the lead
see ‘em at the top
or leave ‘em at the bottom
focus on the come up
become someone
the more that i grow
the more that i’ve come to know
it’s hard to be someone
& it hurts to be nobody
playing this game
it's easy to lose both ways
yeah it’s hard to be someone
& it hurts to be nobody
oh, i hate loving what you think
i hate the way i change the way i speak
i’m stuck, oh Lord, feeding on the hype
but just because i like it doesn’t make it right
watch me take it over
move your body over
make a little room for me
see ‘em at the top
or leave ‘em at the bottom
focus on the come up
become someone
the more that i grow
the more that i’ve come to know
it’s hard to be someone
& it hurts to be nobody
playing this game
it's easy to lose both ways
yeah it’s hard to be someone
& it hurts to be nobody
purpose on a pedestal
looking back at you
look what i have done
look what i can do
but imagine me having nothing to prove
& nothing to lose
& have the courage to be nobody
nobody nobody nobody could hold me down
the more that i grow
the more that i’ve come to know
it’s hard to be someone
& it hurts to be nobody
playing this game
it's easy to lose both ways
yeah it’s hard to be someone
& it hurts to be nobody
hard to be someone
hurts to be nobody

I'm going through a period of self growth right now in my life, and I'm so grateful that you happened to release a song talking about it! I relate so much to the idea that when you attempt to grow out of bad habits and change yourself for the better, you get put into this situation where you are still unsatisfied with who you are/were, but it's also so hard to keep yourself motivated enough to become who you want to become. It's a dilemma of sacrificing personal growth and staying a "nobody" because of the easy sense of comfort you get, and getting rid of this comfort and trying to grow, and to be a "somebody" which will end up better for you in the long run but is still really difficult. This song is defenitely one of my favorites.

This album blows me away. I was skeptical that it could be as good as Now, Not Yet. But even as half•alive pushes into new territory, their central theme of growing and changing for the better and positively looking at life in the long run is stronger than ever. There's something exhilarating about it, loving life as you experience its up and downs and awaiting the glorious future that makes it all worth it. Thank you, half•alive, for helping me to feel hope again after being in a terribly dark place. God bless you all.

Even if you never chase fame, the line "It's hard to be someone, and it hurts to be nobody" is just way too real. It's the in-between. The hardest place to be.
