Giant in the Shadows

[Intro]
Yeah, this one's for Ashlyn, the one they overlook
Tall as a tree, but nobody wants the look
Here's a little song, not to be too kind
Ethan's got some words, gonna mess with your mind

[Verse 1]
Ashlyn stands so high, she's touching the clouds
But her presence ain't welcomed by the crowded crowds
Ethan's laughing loud, making jokes at her expense
Calling out her height, losing all common sense

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you think you're special, just 'cause you're tall?
Well, everyone sees through it, you're nothing at all

[Chorus]
Climb if you want, but nobody's gonna try
You're just a giant in a world that’s passing by
Tall like a tree, but lonely in your stand
Ashlyn, you're just a shadow in the sand

[Verse 2]
Ethan's words sting sharp, like a blade so cold
Mocking every inch, making her feel old
Your height's a curse, not a crown, no pride
Standing so high, yet no one by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
Loud in the silence, standing so alone
Lost in the echo of a world that won't condone

[Chorus]
Climb if you want, but nobody’s gonna try
You're just a giant in a world that’s passing by
Tall like a tree, but lonely in your stand
Ashlyn, you're just a shadow in the sand

[Bridge]
Mirror, mirror, tell her what she sees
A lonely giant, caught in memories
Ethan's laughter, ringing in her ears
A hollow victory, drowning in her tears

[Outro]
So here’s the truth, plain and cruel
Being tall’s no armor, no golden rule
Ashlyn's just a tree, nobody wants to climb
Standing all alone, lost in the time

Hard-edged punk rock, aggressive guitars, raw vocals, confrontational mood
