This was another song I started for FAWM, being the precursor to "I Don't Know What This Is", testing out the hitting of plates and shit. I didn't do anything with it though, until I slowed it down and realized it sounded like fireworks going off, which set off the whole 4th of July theme of the album
I then later added guitar to it and all the ambiance and shit and yeah, really like how this one turned out.
There was also alternate lyrics I wrote for this that came to my head but they didn't actually fit the music so I scrapped them. I'll share 'em when I actually come back to talk about the lyrics lol
lyrics
I can't take it
I am not fit
Why am I like this?
I can make it
If I try hard
Colored lights and lignting
This all hurts my head
