The song is a story about two characters who try to overcome insecurity and depression by hiding in a fantasy world, without success. In spite of the heavy topic, the song tries to give a little hope to listeners who can relate to the characters in the story.

She was the quiet girl in class with a dark past in her backpack
She felt bad, but trying to understand her was abstract
Flashbacks and tameless shame
Nearly drowned her slowly, coldly underneath the waves of pain
Her fantasy, her only oxygen mask
An escape that kept her safe, it was more than a patch
So when her confidence crashed
Her mind crafted dazzling landscapes
Far away from any past happening that ached
Where she´s a princess in a calm kingdom, where love is all income
Needed, and peace is synchronized with a strong system
Where her walk is witnessed and people all listen
To her wisdom, and her heartbeat that has a strong rhythm
Only the shoe she wore in her dream seemed to fit
Reality made her sick and when the fever hit
She felt week and felt that everything was meaningless
And so she was dragged back into the deep abyss

There´ll be days, you know
There´ll be days, you know
Where life is no fairytale
There´ll be days, you know
There´ll be days, you know
Where life is no fairytale
But don’t let them drown you
The surface is often closer than you think
No, don’t let them drown you
The surface is often closer than you think

She used to be the prom queen, and it all seems like yesterday
She conceals her age and looks unreal and plastic made
An ocean of makeup covers her age up
But she knows that the door of youth still stays shut
Bad decisions were conjured
She paid heavy costs to look younger, now they look at her like she is a monster
But her dream world is better and timeless
When she closes her surgery affected eyelids
She sees that she is a princess in an honest kingdom, a place where all the princes
Want her for what she is inside and where nothing withers
Where her shortcomings are gone, where she is young and slimmer
Where she is walking on air, and where love is the victor
But in real life there is no air that her feet can hit
As soon as she opens her eyes, she sees an unappealing witch
Looking for perfection in places where no reason fits
And so she is dragged back into the deep abyss
[Manja BP]
There´ll be days, you know
There´ll be days, you know
Where life is no fairytale
There´ll be days, you know
There´ll be days, you know
Where life is no fairytale
But don’t let them drown you
The surface is often closer than you think
No, don’t let them drown you
The surface is often closer than you think
