An idiophone is any musical instrument that creates sound primarily by the instrument as a whole vibrating—without the use of strings or membranes. It is the first of the four main divisions in the original Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification (see List of idiophones by Hornbostel-Sachs number). The early classification of Victor-Charles Mahillon called this group of instruments autophones.
Most percussion instruments that are not drums are idiophones. Hornbostel-Sachs divides idiophones into four main sub-categories. The first division is the struck idiophones (sometimes called concussion idiophones). This includes most of the non-drum percussion instruments familiar in the West. They include all idiophones made to vibrate by being struck, either directly with a stick or hand (like the wood block, singing bowl, steel tongue drum, triangle or marimba)—or indirectly, by way of a scraping or shaking motion (like maracas or flexatone). Various types of bells fall into both categories.
On the ground
You blew me away
By turning around
With nothing to say
Blinded by fear
You've stolen my pride
I buried the tears
I'm ready to fight
And I'm crowded by the light
Turn away, it isn't worth the fight
It isn't you it isn't me
tell me what the hell am I supposed to be
I'm running in place
with nowhere to be
You're turning away and running from me
Blinded by years
You've broken my pride
Buried the fear
I'm ready to hide
And I'm crowded by the light
Turn away, it isn't worth the fight
It isn't you, it isn't me
Tell me what the hell am I supposed to be
It isn't how, it isn't why
Tell me where the hell am I to go tonight
It isn't you, it isn't me
Tell me where the hell am I supposed to be
It isn't how, it isn't why
Tell me where the hell am I to go tonight
It isn't you, it isn't me
Tell me what the hell am I supposed to be
It isn't how, it isn't why
Tell me where the hell am I to go tonight
Tell me how the hell am I to make it right
