Out of like 10 songs I started making for FAWM 2019, I only finished 3 at the time, and this was the first one to be uploaded, and in the end, only two got uploaded 'cause I kept forgetting to upload the 3rd among other reasons.
I started this song with the intent of making new wave, and clearly that's not what it turned into, but it's still a pretty cool sounding song I think.
I'm really fuckin busy right now and I can't focus a ton so I'll give an overly long explanation of the lyrics later (this goes for all the songs)
lyrics
Why does today
Feel so bad
When it's okay?
Have I gone mad?
Even when the day is good
I just end up feeling bad
There's that stupid thought again,
Oh god why did I say that?
These things are always haunting me,
Every stupid, awkward time.
I just can't escape these thoughts,
They cloud my mind and make me think that nothing's fine.
And so today
I feel okay,
At least for now...
Wish I knew how...
But I don't know
Where to go
With my art
That's just the start...
But for once I've found out what I should do
And it's all thanks to you
'Cause you're such a good friend
And I will begin
And work 'til I'm through
But oh no I can't bring myself to
Even when the day is good
I just end up feeling bad
There's that stupid thought again,
Oh god why did I say that?
These things are always haunting me,
Every stupid, awkward time.
I just can't escape these thoughts,
They cloud my mind and make me think that nothing's
Going my way,
And I don't understand.
How could things be going bad?
I spent so long on the plan.
Maybe I should try more,
That just might work out for me.
I hardly ever did before,
So now I will and then we'll see 'cause
