Louder Than Silence

(yeah, yeah)

They said "tone it down,"

"blend it in," "Don't be sharp," "don't show your teeth."

But I was born with color in my veins,

Not meant for grayscale,

not meant to be tamed.

I tried to fit in smaller shoes,

Cut my edges just to be approved.

But every time I dimmed my light,

I lost a piece of my fight.

I'm done apologizing for the way I shine,

I was never meant to fall in line.

So be loud, be proud,

be bold as hell,

Take up space—ring your bell.

You're not too much,

you're just real, You feel

too deep 'cause you actually feel.

Stand tall in your beautifully strange,

The world won't change if you don't.

Be loud, be proud,

be unmistakably you— That's the power they can't outgrow.

They stare 'cause you don't play the role,

You've got fire in your heart and soul.

You don't match their little boxes neat,

You dance off-beat, you speak your truth.

Your laugh's too big,

your love's too fierce,

You live out loud,

you don't disappear. And yeah,

it scares them—let it be,

A threat to comfort is how change begins.

Normal's just a myth they sell,

You were born to break the mold to hell.

So be loud, be proud,

be bold as fuck,

Don't shrink down just for luck.

You're not weird—you're rare,

There's magic in how you care.

Wear your truth like battle paint,

Let 'em choke on every doubt they made.

Be loud, be proud,

be undeniably you—

The world needs your point of view.

If they don't get you,

good—that's fine, Not every mind is meant to align.

You're not a flaw,

not a phase, You're a spark in a dull-ass place.

History wasn't made by "safe," It was made by loud hearts full

of faith. So roar,

rebel, let 'em stare— You were never meant to disappear.

(never disappear!) Be loud,

be proud, be bold tonight,

Burn your name into the sky.

You don't owe silence,

you don't owe shame,

You don't owe comfort to people afraid.

You are enough, exactly as is,

Not "despite"—but because of this.

Be loud, be proud,

take up that space— Your uniqueness is your crown,

babe.

So here's your permission—though you never needed it: Stand out.

Speak up.

Shine messy.

The world doesn't need another copy…

It needs you.
