“I Could Be” showcases Her Burden’s take on the indie-rock anthem, drawing inspiration from the likes of Kasabian and Catfish and the Bottlemen, while carving out their own unique identify. Rooted in the depths of introspection, the song delves into the experience of navigating loneliness and the boredom that often accompanies it. A captivating guitar riff serves as the song’s foundation, “I Could Be” builds upon layers of bouncy drums, driving baselines, and an anthemic chorus that ignites the spirit with a surge of hope. Through poignant lyricism and infectious melodies, Her Burden invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and resilience, urging them to find strength in the face of adversity.
lyrics
I’ve been searching for someone
Strung out for so long
You know that I could be the one
Cause I’ve been stuck in your day-dream
Life ain’t what it seems
You know that I could be someone
Know
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be the one
I’ve been wasting a lifetime
Guess I’m doing fine
You know that I could be the one
Oh I’ve been running on empty
Steadied by envy
I never meant to hurt no one
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be the one
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be someone
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we all just wanna belong
(You better get it) Cause I wont stop proving your wrong
(You better get it, or you’ll regret it)
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we’re all just someone looking for something looking for me
I’ve been searching for someone
Strung out for so long
You know that I could be the one
Cause I’ve been stuck in your day-dream
Life ain’t what it seems
You know that I could be someone
Know
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be, I could be you know that
I could be the one
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we all just wanna belong
(You better get it) Cause I wont stop proving your wrong
(You better get it, or you’ll regret it)
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we’re all just someone looking for something looking for me
(I’ve been waiting)
(Masquerading)
(I’ve been wasting)
(So frustrating)
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we all just wanna belong
(You better get it) Cause I wont stop proving your wrong
(You better get it, or you’ll regret it)
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we’re all just someone looking for something looking for me
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we all just wanna belong
(You better get it) Cause I wont stop proving your wrong
(You better get it, or you’ll regret it)
(You better get it) Cause the world keeps moving along
(You better get it) Cause we’re all just someone
Looking for something
Looking for someone
Looking for something
Looking for me
