Riders of the Silent Peaks

Lyrics

THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME ME [Verse 1] Some days the weight is heavy, Thoughts that never sleep, Anxiety whispers softly, Pulling me down deep. But I find my escape now, When the world gets too loud, I chase the things that keep me alive, They lift me from the ground. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been lost inside my mind, Fighting battles no one sees, But every road I choose to ride Brings me back to me. [Chorus] It’s the bike, the water, the mountains high, The freedom underneath the open sky. It’s the fight, it’s the peace, it’s who I am, The things that make me, make me who I am. Through the dark and through the pain, I keep burning through the flame, These aren't just hobbies, they're a part of me— The things that make me, make me ME. [Verse 2] Hear the roar of the engine, Feel the tyres bite the road, Mud flying from the wheels, Carrying another load. Then I’m sitting by the water, Waiting for that line to pull, A carp beneath the surface, And a mind that's finally still. [Verse 3] When I climb towards the summit, Every step becomes a fight, Higher ground, a clearer mind, Chasing freedom into light. Looking down on all the shadows, All the things that held me back, I realise I've come so far, And I'm never losing track. [Chorus] It’s the bike, the water, the mountains high, The freedom underneath the open sky. It’s the fight, it’s the peace, it’s who I am, The things that make me, make me who I am. Through the dark and through the pain, I keep burning through the flame, These aren't just hobbies, they're a part of me— The things that make me, make me ME. [Bridge – quiet, emotional] I've been close to the edge, I've been scared of where I've been, Thought I couldn't carry on, Thought I'd never breathe again. But the road keeps calling, And the mountains know my name, The water brings me peace again, And the bike ignites the flame. [Breakdown] So I'll ride... I'll fish... I'll climb... I'll fight... I'll keep chasing horizons Till I find the light. [Final Chorus – huge rock vocals] It’s the bike, the water, the mountains high, The freedom underneath the open sky. It's the roar of the engine and the pull of the line, The feeling that reminds me that this life is mine. Through the darkness, through the pain, I’ll keep standing in the rain. These aren't just hobbies, they're the reason I believe— The things that make me, The things that save me, The things that make me ME. [Outro] Mind and heart, side by side, No more running, no more hiding. I'll keep riding, I'll keep climbing, I'll keep fishing, I'll keep fighting. These are the things that make me me.
