“Uninspired” is about the highs and lows of fame and success, after being a finalist on the ninth series of The X Factor UK.
Fame and success is something that a lot of people crave, but when they finally get to where they want to be, they realize it’s more difficult and a lot lonelier than they th...
[Verse 1]
When the lights go out, and the show is over
When the crowd has gone, and you know you're sober
You put trust in all those people
Who convinced you it was right
And while you can't, you know the boss will sleep tonight
I took time, there were things you won't believe
But there's warmth within this winter
There were harsher times than these
A stranger told me I would find the light that's in the dark
Now a stranger's words I hold close to my heart
[Chorus 1]
Label you, then leave you
No, they won't stay for the fight
It's the closest thing to empty
And the furthest from the light
I got what I asked for, now I'm lonely and I'm tired
I am hurt, and even worse, I'm uninspired
[Verse 2]
Always felt the rush, by the shows with empty rows
Your transport in transit, and you pray for radio
You've a name that no one cares for
And a face that no one knows
You take that path 'cause it's the only route you know
[Chorus 2]
Label you, then leave you
No, they won't stay for the fight
It's the closest thing to empty
And the furthest from the light
I used to be an artist, now I'm nothing I desire
I am hurt, and even worse, I'm uninspired
[Bridge]
Curtains close and roses hit the stage
I forget the pain each time I hear you shout my name
You're my favourite memories and I thank you no end
You're my reason, you're my life and you're my friends
[Chorus 3]
Label you, then leave you
No, they won't stay for the fight
It's the closest thing to empty
And the furthest from the light
I used to be a person that I loved and I admired
I am hurt, and even worse, I'm uninspired
Now I'm hurt and even worse, I'm uninspired
