i'm spineless
possibly mindless
drifting along the waves
transparent
it's clearly apparent
i'm a suggestion of
a being most these days
i've given
up with ambition
guess i just changed my ways
wish i weren't
going with the current
but among the swarm i'll stay
i'll stay
I don't have any idea what I was trying to make here, but I did think about jellyfish while making it so it's one of those wtf songs.
I decided to do something along the lines of chill but upbeat, with specific chord like structures designed to paint some vivid colours. I wanted it to be more of a colourful sort of amazement, however i didn't it to be just a pad and some bells, i wanted to develop it into a free flowing piece, that mostly is around 1-2 chords, but of varying degrees. The point is that this isn't a structured piece as such, and the only thing that really keeps it grounded, is the solo melody and drums. Everything flows in the background. It's not the easiest to describe, but nonetheless i had a ton of fun working on it, and it works well for the image. Enjoy!
The pressure is mounting
I know that it's time To let go
no easy answer
we're an enigma
I'm left here wondering
Where to go
Maybe one day we'll understand
Maybe one day we'll see the light
maybe we'll create solutions to our problems
as the ground gives way
I'm falling I'm falling
the world comes tumbling down
I'm falling I'm falling
I let myself be guided by the ocean, only making minor adjustments to the will of the currents.
Holy moly i'm tired now. Most fun yet by faaar. Guitar effects +1
What's inside the box? Pain.
i was running out of time.

Drowning in a space with a dark luminescence
Putin pride inside my faith stay awake what i recon
I know ill stay the same never change adolescence
If you Come on any closer make you bleed like its vengeance
Okay
You need protection
Flowin with the water i dont know me direction
I found me a scholar that will put it to gather and all i ever had to do was show up and present it
Try n keep it electric
I am embedded
with the world and its messes
They never gettin the message
I wish that i could be present
Because know that i could say it like the president said it
I make um crazy till they all need a medic
Become a legend
Like it is written and I have already read it
I keep it crispy like my chicken is breaded
You couldn’t even serve me i got way to much venom
Drippen denom
[verse]
In the water, you must look out for
Stingers that reach your knees
They will pierce you, needles so fierce
Who knows where they'll hide and flee?
Elegant creatures, with flowing features
Beauty when viewed afar
But in close contact, you may find out that
Touching may leave a scar, beware that
[chorus]
In these parts you would never risk
Getting stung by the old jellyfish
If you did, you would yell a bit
Getting hit by the old jellyfish
[verse]
Taking heed is all that you need
The sea can be quite a harm
Caution is had, even on the sand
A stray one can straddle on, beware that

It’s only you and me
Us two within this great blue sea
It’s only you and me
Let’s sail away intor eternity
It’s only you and me
Us two within this great blue sea
It’s only you and me
The night is young, it lasts forever
It’s only you and me
Our time together, let it be
It’s only you and me
Together we can our love free
Hold me
Touch me
Stay with me
Carry me home
