You’re only hurting yourself
To think you’ll win is predictably insane
You can’t stare her down
Like a snake shes got a nictitating membrane
It’s a losing battle
put your hands up and leave
it’s a losing battle
try to keep a little dignity
you’d better save your strength
don’t try to engage you’ll be safer in my mind
she won’t let up
She doesn’t blink when her prey is in her eyeline
It’s a losing battle
put your hands up and leave
it’s a losing battle
try to keep a little dignity
you’ve gotta look away to preserve your health
just run for the hills, save yourself
It’s a losing battle
put your hands up and leave
it’s a losing battle
try to keep a little dignity
Even though i had the full time this week i managed to finish quite early. But that was because i had chosen a music genre, that was more free-flowing so i could get some ideas down quick and fast. But i also fear i won't make it, so i had to be efficient. Also this theme was calling for some downtempo stuff, hence why i went more chill. I do like what i've done here, it has a lot of cool electric piano samples, nestled on top of a thick sidechain, and a soft but hard hitting beat, that is then complimented by a few effects, and a dynamic 303 line. It's pretty cool stuff, hope you enjoy!
What Chu Starin' At?
I knew what life would be, I just didn't think it could happen to me
Now I'm looking for something more
I hate all of this;
Impossible waiting for something i wont see
Withering slowly like a desert flower
The itch i cant scratch at the back of neck
Staring expectantly
Those Give me what i came for eyes
Those lies that cut me deep
Don't talk to me about love please
Your mouth is full of straw
(You're a scarecrow)
how can you still go on?
Purposefully
When the fields burn down will you leave please
Verse:
Panic attacks at the break of day,
Burying the dead without a say.
A different version of life, universe laid,
Parallel realms, where paths are swayed.
Meet me where the lines blur tonight,
4 a.m., can't sleep, chasing the light.
You were my defense, through thick and thin,
But now the we're gonna let the staring contest begin.
Chorus:
How did we let it crumble, to dust?
Love slipping away turned into rust.
Should've been feeling, now we are numb
Floor falling out and now we are done
side note: Weird buzzing in this project in the intro, spent way too long trying to figure out what the cause was, did not find it. If you notice, its not in the outro so its weird. I'll find it eventually, if I go back to this song anyway.
Love U all Dearly Happy Thanksgiving to All!!!!
