Nobody – Bonnie Legion
A Sound Legion Production | Produced by Mr. Dave | From the album “Emotional Detox”

This song is a personal reckoning.
“Nobody” was written in the middle of a healing season, when I was waking up to how much weight I’d been carrying — not just from the world around me, but from within. It’s about the climb, the collapse, the wonder, and the truth that in the end, nobody is going to do it for us. We have to choose to show up — even when it hurts, even when it’s lonely, even when we don't know how.

The verses are spoken like emotional poetry, cracked and vulnerable, wandering through fields, storms, and doubt. And then the chorus opens up — a release, a reminder. Nobody’s going to breathe for me. Nobody’s going to calm the sea. But if I just ride the wind, if I trust that something in me knows how to swim, then I’ll find myself again.

This track was produced by Italy’s Mr. Dave, who composed the entire “Emotional Detox” album. He gave the song a cinematic downtempo pulse — gentle in the verses, rising with layered harmonies in the chorus — like it’s breathing with me. I wanted it to feel intimate and epic at the same time.

The accompanying video is painted in the Sound Legion video stylization — a dreamlike fusion of Tim Burton emotion and Studio Ghibli wonder. It visually journeys through each line of the song, bringing the story to life in symbolic, surreal animation: fields of confusion, hills of struggle, oceans of emotional release, and skies of transformation.

If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or invisible… I hope this song finds you.
And I hope it reminds you that you’re not nobody.
You're the one who will rise.
Ride.

— Bonnie Legion

From the album “Emotional Detox”

Verse 1
i found myself in a field,
unsure, unaware how i got there,
emotional stains, these growing pains
the world is so unfair,

it’s like i’m always trying to climb that hill,
always trying to find the will,
but something’s always right beside me
arms around me, stand me still,

the sun, it shines beside me,
the warmth is on my face,
the breeze is moving gently
there’s a hope inside this place,

but it’s like i don’t belong here,
they’re gonna send me back,
inside a moment, collect my thoughts,
i’m beggin’ for some slack,

Chorus
nobody’s gonna do it for me,
nobody’s gonna breathe for me,
get on the road and just drive and drive
oh, on the back of the wind i'll just ride,

nobody’s gonna swim for me,
nobody’s gonna calm the sea,
open my eyes and feel inside alive,
in the curl of the waves i'll just ride,

Verse 2
i found myself in a storm
completely aware how i got there,
emotional scars, these speeding cars,
the choice is so unclear,

it’s like the pressure’s just so heavy,
and the world, it doesn’t get me,
and everything i’m standing for
is sinking underneath me,

reach out and grab the moon,
dig deep and bend the spoon,
i’ve got to find the courage
deep inside before pain consumes,

i want to change perspective,
i need to change this place,
i need to open up my arms
and feel a warm embrace,

Chorus x2
nobody’s gonna do it for me,
nobody’s gonna breathe for me,
get on the road and just drive and drive
oh, on the back of the wind i'll just ride,

nobody’s gonna swim for me,
nobody’s gonna calm the sea,
open my eyes and feel inside alive,
in the curl of the waves i'll just ride,

nobody’s gonna do it for me,
nobody’s gonna breathe for me,
get on the road and just drive and drive
oh, on the back of the wind i'll just ride,

nobody’s gonna swim for me,
nobody’s gonna calm the sea,
open my eyes and feel inside alive,
in the curl of the waves i'll just ride.
