Discalmer: I don't own the song, Glamour Of The Kill Do. All I own is the story and Atomic Riot.
A whisper from my soul
Calling from the road
I saw my chance in front of me
Gonna be all the things I wanna be
And I know in time you'll see
I always said I wanted to be a rockstar, not once did I listen to someone who said I would grow out of the rockstar phase.
Countless times told I was wrong
I watched others quit whilst I carried on
(Carried on my way)
There is nothing else that I can do
I told you I would see this through
Live your life till the end
I won't ever change and I'll never regret
Always follow your heart
If you never try then you'll never get far
Everyone I knew who wanted to make it as a rockstar all quit when they realised how hard it is to make music, advertise your band, organise shows, rehearsals everything you need to do takes a lot of work. People told me to quit, they all said I would never make it nor was I even ready for something like this. If I was to have a penny for every time someone had told me girls don't play guitar, I'd be a millionaire.
So far from my home
It's harder than you'll know
But I'm being everything I wanna be
Seeing everything I wanna see
And I wont forget a thing
I think of those I left behind
They went their way and I went mine
(I went my own way)
I chose my path I left it all
I live my life for rock and roll
Even with all the negativity I set out and found a band, it was hard at first leaving everything I knew behind but this was what I wanted. I wanted to travel the world one day and be able to say I've seen it all, this was the only way I could that fit in with what I wanted to be. I left so many people behind so I could get my name out there.
They told me to change
But I don't know any other way
Gotta stay true to what you believe in
And I stand the same
I couldn't be any other way
Gonna stay true to what you believe in
I chose my path I left it all
I live my life for rock and roll
Countless people told me to do something else but I couldn't, this was all I wanted to be and this was all I knew how to be. No matter what I'm never going to change, I'm always going to be the same. I'll stand true to what I believe and live my life how I want to.
The story's just begun
My battle's far from won
Along world lies an enemy
But the end is not to far to say
I know this wouldn't be easy
This may be the start but it's far from finished. There's so much more to do, so much more I can offer. I'm going to put all I've got into this, I know its hard but if you love something so much why not fight for it?
I chose my path I left it all
I gave my life to rock and roll
Live your life to the end
I will never change and I will never regret
Always follow your heart
If you never try then you'll never get far
I'll never regret my choice to leave my old life behind to start a new life inspired by rock and roll. I've always told me people if they love something so much fight for it, always follow your heart and live you life to the full never let anyone stop you.
I said from the start
Just follow your heart
You'll see that there's no stopping me
I said from the start
Just follow your heart
You'll see that there's no stopping me
I was set on becoming a rockstar I never let anyone stop me and I made it. All the hard work paid off but it's still not over, not yet any ways. My name is Christina better known by my stage name Cookie; I play in a band called Atomic Riot with 4 of my closest friends Claire, Jack, Taylor and Riley.
For some reason the guys voted me as the singer rather than just the guitarist, we all had our own opinions on who should be the singer and who plays what. It was that and also working around what we all wanted to do individually, Claire's been playing drums from a young age and that's what she wanted to do in the band too. Jack always wanted to play bass and none of us minded since Taylor and Riley wanted something else.
Riley wanted to play guitar which stopped us at a stand still since neither of us had came to an agreement on who should play lead or rhythm. In the end Riley suggested she play lead since they all wanted me to be the lead singer and they would provide backing vocals.
Then there's Taylor who wanted to play keyboard which we all thought was a good idea since the ideas we all had for our music involved keyboards. When we first started off in America we were surprised to get all the attention we did, not many people like bands that are nearly all female with the exception of one male.
It was like a dream that we basically went from being nothing to superstardom over night. I guess that was all because we played one particular gig which got us all the attention we needed to sign a record deal and get into a studio and start recording our album.
The album didn't actually take us long to record since we agreed to write music for what we did and then let the others listen to it. I found it easier writing the album this way. Of course I wrote lyrics and sang them for the others to see what they thought of them, generally if they didn't like them, we would either rewrite them or pick and change the bits we didn't like.
At least this way we were all happy. The record company didn't seem to mind how we worked nor did out producer. I think it was just after we finished the album and we had about a month to wait till the record company released the album our tour manager Bob decided to start booking us venues all over North America.
It was during that time we started to develop a rivalry with other bands, one being Asking Alexandria. If it wasn't a rivalry it was an amazing friendship like what I had with Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Syke's. Claire had befriended Black Veil Bride's Andy Biresack, we all did it, depending who the band was and their members.
Right now nothing could go wrong for me. I had everything I'd ever dreamed of, I'd started getting on with my family. I had enough money in the bank to buy at least 2 houses in LA although I'd already bought one. I had a bike and a car parked in my garage at home, 4 of the best friends I could ever ask for and right now we were taking over the world. What could possibly go wrong?
