about

Exploring themes of identity and resilience, Heartlay has crafted an infectiously catchy and fierce anthem on “As The One I Am”.
Built around mechanical drums, heavy guitars and angst-ridden electronics in contrast with a powerful rock chorus, "As The One I Am" combines influences from all of Heartlay's previous works and pushes far into the band's most aggressive edge. "As The One I Am" is out now on all platforms.

lyrics

Wake up
Yeah

Will you still fight for a change
If the nerve welcomes its fate
Let’s figure how to reengage
To a life that has no intent anymore

Significant fallouts
Will depend on what we take
Better crawling as the one I am
Than as an archetype of what they wanna break

It’s not who I am
I’ll run…

Far
Somewhere
I won’t care
As long it’s not this way
Going to a new wayside
I’ll disobey
As the one I am

Devoured in docility
Impersonated and wrecked
They got stuck in dualities
Only a few will disconnect
(I’ve seen that…)

Either paths shape the outlook
Staying half alive in fear
(Fuck that)
Or moving into the life that’s real
A new breach of mine
A new kind of opening

Far
Somewhere
I won’t care
As long it’s not this way
Going to a new wayside
I’ll disobey
As the one I am

The keys are still hidden
But I’m gonna escape
The path is not written
And now I’m gonna…

Sever
Sever
Sever
Sever
Oh

Far
Somewhere
I won’t care
As long it’s not this way
Going to a new wayside
I’ll disobey
As the one I am
