about

In the process of Finishing a record, COVID-19 hit.
I had a few interesting months, and this song was ultimately the Genesis of me standing up for myself and loving myself in the ways I need to.

I always try and stay true to myself, and I wasn't for a bit. I was caught up in anxiety, self-loathing, and frustration.

SO! This song is about that feeling of not being able to speak up- but finally doing so and resolving with the fact that you are PERFECT (spiritually I mean...).

IDK, it's about whatever you want, really. lol.

lyrics

How do I start moving on like everybody else I know,
Like it's fine? (you said it's fine)

Told me I'm the best, now I'm reading at my own level.
I was desperate to know why I can't help you....

I wasn't enough, I never am. I let myself think that sometimes.
Oh and how crazy I get when I'm alone,
'cause I'm STUCK and all I can do is dance so let's kick it- right now.

Why, why, why would you ever wanna treat me like that?
So bad
I'm already frustrated now I can't be anything but mad, so mad.

La da ba ba da dum
La da ba ba da dum

I accosted you while you were heading for the door and I said "Look! I feel that there's a bigger plan for all of us inside ourselves!"

She said "I had a look...but couldn't find shit there."
So instead we're listening to something in the air, it's music!
Now I'm not sadder than I was before.

I think you've made your feelings loud and clear.
You're not a pacifist, nor the compassion activist you say
This break is politics well, (I) already know that's Bullshit (DROP!)

So Why....
Would you ever wanna treat me like that?
So bad.
I'm already frustrated now I can't be anything but mad, just so mad.

You've gotta learn to know when you've got to end a conversation like that, it's so bad.
I'm already frustrated and I don't wanna end up MAD, always MAD HA HA HA HA.

break me down, I'll get back up.
I always do- oh oh ooooh oooh
Ancient Child, where you been?
Do you regret all the things we did and said?

SO WHY
Would you ever wanna treat me like that?
It's so bad!
I'm already frustrated now I can't be anything but mad, just so mad.

I had to learn to know when to have a conversation with my own self-
to let go of you!

CHECK ME OUT
WILL I COME UNDONE?

I think there's a place for me now! Let's mark it off....

Metaphorical Metal Fork
by Asleep At A Wake

There's a sort of fleeting honesty rivaled by none. Guitar tones that put you in tune with some thoughts that you tend to block out of your head most of the day, yet hold key importance. Colin Burke
