just a lil' electronic music project i started after getting inspired by a jam session i had a few months ago with a close friend of mine XD

vocals and the guitars are sung/played by me, and i wrote the lyrics as well

~ lyrics ~

[INTRO]

i've figure out

what you're doin'

keeping me around

so you'll stay amused

[HOOK]

you're not breaking my heart again

i'm not letting you get that close

you may strip down to your skin

but i'm keeping on my clothes

[RAP]

some say we paint this picture we see

on the white blank canvas of reality

that we're the authors of this book called life

we write a page in it everyday

if that's true then why does it seem

like everyone else can change the scene

into an outcome you never intended

you keep it simple but it gets complicated

a clash of wills with everyone

trying to make their life go how they want

i never wanted for us to end

but you insisted it's for the best

apprehensive i walked away

but now you say you want me to stay?

love's not a puzzle and it's not a game

white or black but i don't do grey

  • Omg i LOVE 01:24 THAT RAP PART!!!

    The name escapes me but this reminds me of an artist i used to avidly listen to back in the day and they had the same style and voice!

    Im sure you know what im talking about but just wanna say fantastic job there. That part is so solid

    • It appeals to the poet in me because there's so much thought you have to put into the flow and delivery of the lines. And if you can get it down, it can really add a special kind of flair to a track. Especially in EDM

    • THANK YOU! I don't do much rapping, but it's fun. I have only one other song I've written on guitar where I rap while I'm playing

  • Those chords in the begging sound off, i like the rhythm but i think you need to add another note to the top of that chord, it sounds a bit flat amd the vocals too on some parts. I wish i was a vocalist so i could offer real constructive feedback but i have none atm so i shall just point it out and leave the rest to you

    • Yeah this is one of the ones I wanna revamp. During the time I wrote this song, I had completely rewritten the 1st verse, changed some lines in the chorus, reworked the rap lyics a bit and done a bunch of shit with the guitarist in my band.

      I had plans to fully re-track the vocals, improve the song structure, and go all out. But I haven't revisited the draft in nearly a year to really begin implementing those changes. It might be the next thing I do tbh, because it has a lot of potential

  • Republished

    Added vocals & electric guitars, refined the transitions, extended the intro, and did a heck ton of EQing/mastering

  • hol up wait this is sick

  • chorus is fire

    • Hell yeah, appreciate it man!

      & omg I used to listen to DSG all the time, I haven't thought about that channel in a hot minute haha

    • reminds me of like old dubstepgutter

  • Republished

    a peck of mastering and a bushel of fine-tuning; changed intro, added a new synth, yadda yadda

  • Nice one !
