Lily Fitts - What They Say (Official Visualizer)

“What They Say” is written about my struggle with feeling trapped in what feels like an endless cycle of anxiety. This song highlights the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with it each day and how easy it is to feel defeated when any sense of progress seems so out of reach, no matter how hard you try. I hope listeners find comfort in knowing they’re not alone in their struggles and that even when life feels so overwhelming, it’s not permanent- there’s always hope for change. - Lily 🤍

LYRICS:
Go outside, get some light
Take a breath, then count to ten, and dry your eyes
Believe me I’ve tried
Done the work
But those daily affirmations they’re just words

And i’m spinning out again
Seasons change but it don’t end

If it turns out that my life is all an existential crisis
Can I blame the world or just my DNA?
Saw the doctor got prescriptions
Talked to God he didn’t listen
Stuck in winter holding out for warmer days
“It’s not forever”, least that’s what they say

Give it time, you’ll be alright
You know healing doesn’t happen overnight
Believe me I know
How it goes
I was pulling out my hair at 9 years old

And I’m spinning out again
Seasons change but it don’t end

If it turns out that my life is all an existential crisis
Can I blame the world or just my DNA?
Saw the doctor got prescriptions
Talked to God he didn’t listen
Stuck in winter holding out for warmer days
“It’s not forever”, least that’s what they say

Yeah I’m only 23 but every day feels like a week
Maybe it’s all out of my control

If it turns out that my life is all an existential crisis
Can I blame the world or just my DNA?
Saw the doctor got prescriptions
Talked to God he didn’t listen
Stuck in winter holding out for warmer days
“It’s not forever,” least that’s what they say

As one who has been in an existential crisis his whole life I applaud your talent and efforts. Good song.

All Lily does is make amazing music that you can hear a part of her in the song. This is not only my new favorite Lily song, it's my personal favorite song period. I struggle with so much and even expressing my feelings, so hearing someone seemingly being able to put those extremely similar feelings and thoughts out into the world just helps so much. And gives, at least for me, the sense I'm not alone, which is how I feel so often. So grateful for her sharing. I hope her all the success in the world and that she exceeds all her goals. Thank you so much Lily.

[TracyFochs]

Absolutely amazing songwriting and one of the best voices I've ever heard! ❤❤

If you're feeling hopeless, as I was, please try EXERCISE. I know, it's cliché. But it's a cliché for a reason. Push your body, and the brain will start to relax. Exercise saved my life. If you're truly as desperate as I was, give it a try. Start slow.

[TheJewishCommando]

One of the most beautiful songs and angelic voices I’ve ever heard

[antongagliardi]

Lily's talent is off the charts, definitely destined for a huge purpose with jmusic. Amazing!

[Sharma.-]

I don't know what I say... I feel the music ❤😌🎧😇

[travis.h.music.]

The aesthetic on this video tho. Your whole team is top notch. This whole song feels like healing to me and you are such a healer. One of the most beautiful souls I've ever stumbled upon in music. The arts show how humanity can bring forth expression that impacts lives, you are no exception. I'll definitely buy a record to play in the future if you ever release an album. Amazing. Never stop creating. So inspiring.
