Growing up in the 80s before Neurodivergent in the 80s. My entire album is me trying to put words to what ive felt growing up autistic. Google Russell Trent-HIGHTISTIC and see all of the work ive been working on since releasing these songs publicly as my new years resolution. since then ive released 3 books, founded the Identity Physics Corpus and expanded cognitive rights all the way to the federal level advocacy. I wrote all of these songs in the hopes someone truly talented could take my words and help people so if anyone wants to use my song in some way you can just reach out to me on socials. im super busy right now getting ready for a massive publication that will officially found Identity Physics as a field. It took me years to put the words together for these songs bc i wanted to help others understand what it feels like growing up ND. Everyone that has been supporting me on the academic side i appreciate you all and im glad that i found a way to resonate with other people. Kid they missed lyrics Neon nights and my headphones, i was wired to dream Every glitch in my heartbeat kept me chasing the scene Now the worlds trying to catch up to the kid they missed Because the truth in my tone hits sweet like this I was lost in the noise but i found my way, Every step i took, every night i stayed No matter what they said, no matter what they did, I kept on chasing till i made it big Neon nights and my headphones, i was weird to dream Every glitch in my heartbeat kept me chasing the scene Now the worlds trying to catch up to the kid they missed Because the truth in my tone hits sweet like this I used to sit in my room, staring at the wall, Wonder if my dreams would ever come true at all But now im on the stage shining bright like a star I found my voice, i found my car I was lost in the noise but i found my way, Every step i took, every night i stayed No matter what they said, no matter what they did, I kept on chasing till i made it big Neon nights and my headphones, i was weird to dream Every glitch in my heartbeat kept me chasing the scene Now the worlds trying to catch up to the kid they missed Because the truth in my tone hits sweet like this So dont you ever give up, dont you ever back down Your dreams are worth it, they’re your own crown. You’re gonna rise up, gonna shine, gonna light up the sky Your story’s just beginning don’t you ever say goodbye Neon nights and my headphones, i was weird to dream Every glitch in my heartbeat kept me chasing the scene Now the worlds trying to catch up to the kid they missed Because the truth in my tone hits sweet like this. more
