i'm losing my mind

thought that i'd turn out fine

tried to sort myself out

but i lost track of time

and in crafting a line

the weeks have flown by

in a blink of an eye

am i falling behind

watch the world through an endless feed

watch the world moving on without me

feels like i'm losing velocity

like i'm two steps behind

in what goes on in my life

tell myself that it'll be just fine

it's a feeling, nothing more, that'll pass in time

but i'm miles from the finish line

and my shadow's growing longer

i don't know, can i go on?  

This was more like a 30 minute compo cuz I got home late from my shit --- nice to do one again though.

Lyrics:

To dust I return

Not sure what lesson's I learned

I know I was just another atom

of a mineral in a ring of saturn

But this is for the best

The afterlife beckons me in my dreams

The rest of you are never what they seem

So here I am crumbling to dust

Finally free of a world unjust

Reborn to this hollow world

Dripping black with all the oil

I wish for a different scene

From all the pain I see

Whisked away by the wind

So I'm no longer pinned

Just leave me be

Written at 10BPM in FL Studio

And i keep falling through the waves of ambient arps descending in tempo

And i keep falling through lush pad chords in G Major swelling in and out

And i keep falling through deep bass subs rattling in the ear

And i keep falling through filtered squelchy synths playing simple notes

And i keep falling through the use of choir sounds automated in volume

And i keep falling through the use of airy ambience designed for a neverending drone feel

And i keep falling through the art of a slower and slower BPM

And i keep falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and falling and

Tonight I wanted to go less for a literal interpretation of the theme and more for making a compelling song loosely inspired by it

I made this song to represent the feelings of graduation, and as a reflection of my journey of music composition throughout high school.
