"Absolutely unbearable," this is how the 20-year-old singer Noah Cyrus describes living as Miley Cyrus' sister.
The 'July' singer last Saturday talked about her single "Young and Sad" in an Instagram Live, and how this is about being part of the Cyrus Family.
Noah Cyrus explains the meaning of the song
Part of the song goes, "My sister's like sunshine / Always bringing good light wherever she will go / And I was born to rain clouds / When they blew the flame out / Blessed in her shadows."
I don’t even “stan” noah cyrus but y’all do give her the hardest time about her looks and constantly comparing her to miley, I’m glad she is carving out her own career path and a unique sound for herself because her talent is pretty evident. pic.twitter.com/Dpd4nq9mxG — ً (@MILEYSTATTZ) May 15, 2020
While going through the song, Noah started describing how it was for her to live as Miley's sister. The 20-year-old singer tearfully describes how all of these affected her throughout her life.
She said that the second verse is all about that. "I always felt like I was that person that no one gave a s--t about due to what people said to me online," Noah said.
She even described her life as living in the shadows, considering that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and her older sister, Miley, are both famous.
When people tell Noah that she is shadowing her sister, she believed it and had a hard time overcoming that stage of her life.
Noah said in her Instagram Live that she opened up about this because it is a big part of her life and that she cannot control what people see. Although she also mentioned that she no longer sees herself talking about it again in the future.
Noah Cyrus' self-esteem is affected by online comments
The singer also shared how she felt about the things people tell her online. These comments have affected Noah's self-esteem, especially since she hears about it every day, her entire life. The mean comments directed to Noah made her feel she was not enough. She also explained that it was the way the comments were not only about being Miley's sister but also about her looks or even the way she is.
"Like I said the other day, I feel like sometimes I feel like I don't even breathe right sometimes," Noah said.
Noah Cyrus gets support from fans online
After the singer did her Instagram Live, fans started to share how they feel Noah is underrated and deserves more. Some even shared that there should no longer be comparisons between the two because they are very different.
Miley Cyrus previously talked about how her career affected Noah
In 2017, on a podcast, Miley discussed how she is hoping her sister will never feel the pressure. She also wished that the people are not going to make her into something she is not.
The 27-year-old singer said she does not want her sister to change the way she is just because it would suit other people's interests.
The song "Young and Sad" is part of Noah Cyrus' new Extend Play, The End of Everything. The EP has eight songs and is now available for the public.
