18 MILES – “Set Free” video

With their third record “Revive” dropping August 1st, 18 MILES is about to expose the harsh truth. This joint is not for the faint-hearted. Listen for yourself.

Lyrics:

I need a moment to re-stabilize
There is no slowing down; I must keep up with the pace
I keep on running and running; I keep on struggling and struggling
– To get ahead of this race
Every time I take a moment to breathe
I face the risk of losing, as I’m losing speed
I suffocate on my way taking the lead
I need to survive, but I must also succeed

I feel the hammer – slamming down on my spine

I feel the hammer slamming down on my spine
I need to focus, cause I keep losing time
I keep on smiling, pretending everything is fine
I keep on running for the truth to shine – through

I’m done with the losers giving up on their dreams
Fuck – Your disapproval, cause I’m still here
I said:
I’m done with the losers giving up on their dreams
Keep shaking your head, but where will you turn when…

…Reality kicks in, stomping your face on the floor,
Cause every fucking time you find yourself kicking open doors

How many times do you think I’ve heard…

Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up!
This is going nowhere
Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up!
But now I’m telling you,
Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up!
Cause We’re going nowhere
Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up!
This who I chose to be

And I will never be a victim of my own behaviour
I design my fate; I decide my destiny
I refuse to be pressed down
I choose to stand above myself
I choose to bear the consequences
This is my choice – Set free
