This is not connected to bollywood but it is too inspirational and beautiful to not share so I thought of sharing it here 😳 The lyrics are too damn beautiful.

It is all about being who you are. So what if people judge you ? Who are they to tell you how to be ?

This is what this song is about and there are so many ways to interpret it.

I have been listening to it on loop and has inspired me SO MUCH.

It was sung in the recent Eurovision 2014 competition by Conchita Wurst.

LYRICS

Waking in the rubble
Walking over glass
Neighbours say we're trouble
Well that time has passed

Peering from the mirror
No, that isn't me
Stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be

You wouldn't know me at all today
From the fading light I fly

Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame

Go about your business
Act as if you're free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me

Cause you wouldn't know me today
And you have got to see
To believe
From the fading light I fly

Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn

I rise up to the sky
You threw me down but
I'm gonna fly

And rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame

P.S. Do not go for the appearances,it is what the song is about.

I feel bad in adding the note but that is the sad reality nowadays. Mods,you can close this post if you feel it is out of context 😊

OMG same here. It was just too too beautiful and sung with so much passion and intensity. Had tears in my eyes because I could relate to this in my own way because this song is all about how you look at it,that is the sheer beauty of it.

I had been depressed quite a bit because I had been having some problems in my uni when I got screwed by my teachers for some reason and when I listened to this song,felt as if it was written for me and I felt so inspired.

Especially these lyrics.

Go about your business
Act as if you're free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me

Cause you wouldn't know me today
And you have got to see
To believe
From the fading light I fly

Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes

I just. Wow is all I say.

I know😭 You could feel her life story in this song. Rising like a phoenix above everything. Gets me everytime ❤️ And after reading certain comments from some sleazeballs in youtube and all,I feel so sad. That is why I had to add the note.

I know, I can understand. 😔
If only people could just live and let live,
and look at the positives than focusing on hatred and negativity.
