Lyrics & Translation
English
I was living in a small mind
With no lifeline
And no messages can reach me from the outside
When I looked out over the horizon
Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising
Then it hit me
Maybe bit me
Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me
I didn't know exactly where I would be going
But I had to let this river in me flowing
What a ride
When you open your eyes
For the very first time
A real surprise
I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water, every moment I'm alive
I was living on a fault line
The fault was all mine
And this unstable ground found me down half the time
But I had enough
I had to get up
I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff
Then it hit me
You won't permit me
To be an individual
Just doesn't fit me
But I decided that it's going to be living
Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison
What a high
When you open your mind for the very first time
A real surprise
I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water, every moment I'm alive
So long conformity
And ambiguity is a new priority
All it takes, for heaven sakes
Is to figure out the face and learn to separate
I started living outside of the box
Taking my time when I always used to rush
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I broke down the walls for my liberation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside
Ha ha ha
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
Oh, living outside of the box
Of the box, of your life
Of everything that seems nice
Oh, living outside of the box

Box (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Vivía en una mente pequeña
Sin salvavidas
Y ningún mensaje puede llegarme desde afuera
Cuando miré hacia el horizonte
No noté si el sol se ponía o apenas salía
Entonces me di cuenta
Quizás me mordió
Entonces supe, que bastantes no irían conmigo
No sabía exactamente a dónde iría
Pero tenía que dejar que este río en mí fluyera
Qué viaje
Cuando abres tus ojos
Por primera vez
Una verdadera sorpresa
Empecé a vivir fuera de la caja
Cruzando líneas donde siempre solía parar
Viviendo fuera de la caja
Porque no voy a ser nadie que no sea
Siempre supe que este día llegaría
Cuando me levanté, encontré algo de motivación
He estado viviendo del otro lado
Pase lo que pase, cada momento que estoy viva
Vivía en una falla
La culpa era toda mía
Y este suelo inestable me encontraba caída la mitad del tiempo
Pero tuve suficiente
Tenía que levantarme
Tenía que ignorarlo todo porque es lo mismo de siempre
Entonces me di cuenta
No me permitirás
Ser un individuo
Simplemente no me encaja
Pero decidí que voy a vivir
Sí, decidí que estoy escapando de tu prisión
Qué subidón
Cuando abres tu mente por primera vez
Una verdadera sorpresa
Empecé a vivir fuera de la caja
Cruzando líneas donde siempre solía parar
Viviendo fuera de la caja
Porque no voy a ser nadie que no sea
Siempre supe que este día llegaría
Cuando me levanté, encontré algo de motivación
He estado viviendo del otro lado
Pase lo que pase, cada momento que estoy viva
Adiós conformidad
Y la ambigüedad es una nueva prioridad
Todo lo que se necesita, por el amor de Dios
Es descifrar la cara y aprender a separar
Empecé a vivir fuera de la caja
Tomándome mi tiempo cuando siempre solía apurarme
Viviendo fuera de la caja
Porque no voy a ser nadie que no sea
Siempre supe que este día llegaría
Cuando derribé los muros para mi liberación
He estado viviendo del otro lado
Pase lo que pase cada momento que estoy viva
Oh, viviendo fuera de la caja
Oh, viviendo fuera de la caja
Oh, viviendo afuera
Ja ja ja
Siempre supe que este día llegaría
Cuando me levanté, encontré algo de motivación
Oh, viviendo fuera de la caja
De la caja, de tu vida
De todo lo que parece agradable
Oh, viviendo fuera de la caja
