X(yz+1): “Louder Than the Doubt” is a hard-driving anthem about breaking free from the voices that have held you back for years—the voices of others and, eventually, the ones you create inside your own head. This song is about recognizing that doubt, facing it head-on, and finally deciding it doesn’t get to run the show anymore. The scars and the past still remain, but the fear no longer gets the final word.
LOUDER THAN THE DOUBT:
Kick drum like a hammer, Floorboards shake and crack
That old voice in my head, Keeps clawing me back
Says I’m built for losing, Says I’ll never get free
But I’ve worn these scars like they belong to me
Mama’s words in the hallway, Daddy’s doubt in the rain
Teachers kept that verdict, Like a nail in my brain
Every step I took, Felt like dragging stone
Still I kept on moving, Still I walked it home
Hear that rumble rising, See me plant my feet
I’ve been down in the dirt, But I’m not beat
Turn that fear to fire, Watch it light the room
I came too far to let it bloom
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt (hold on now)
I’m louder than the doubt I’m still standing proud (yeah, yeah)
What was in my head, Can’t own me now
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt
Sunday suit and a bruised-up grin, Walking in with my chin up high
Old ghosts at the back door, Still trying to tell me why
But I got my name in my own hands, Got my breath and my broken vows
I’m done living like a shadow, I’m stepping out now
Hear that rumble rising, See me plant my feet
I’ve been down in the dirt, But I’m not beat
Turn that fear to fire, Watch it light the room
I came too far, To let it bloom
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt, (hold on now)
I’m louder than the doubt, I’m still standing proud, (yeah, yeah)
What was in my head, Can’t own me now
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt
Let it shout my name, Let it rattle the glass
I was made for the fight, I was made to last
Every crack in my voice, Every scar on my brow
Spells out the truth, I won’t back down
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt, (hold on now)
I’m louder than the doubt, I’m still standing proud, (yeah, yeah)
What was in my head, Can’t own me now
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt
I’m louder than the doubt, Louder than the doubt…
