Predetermined Fate

The song is about being trapped in a cycle of living a life which you don't enjoy, and the actions the individual in the song made almost made their future inevitable.

I wrote the song between July-October 2019 and was recorded between April 15; 17-18 of 2020. I then released the song to Souncloud on April 20, 2020.

The reason I'm releasing it now on Newgrounds (and YouTube), is because I recently updated the artwork of the song (due to the original one being quite sloppy), and to put it on more platforms in general. I also wanted to share it with the Weezercord listening party.

(Also, if you want to use the song for anything, you can contact me. I'll most likely say yes for most projects)


Oh and the lyrics:

You didn’t want an “average” life

To work and work all day and night

Making just enough to get right by

But even then it makes you sigh


Don’t want to be another sheep

Instead of trying to stand out

You didn’t take that leap


I can see

Everything I’ve done

All the things I’ve said

Have just seemed now to gone to waste

And it seems

Just impossible

To escape this prolonged rut


You always strived to do your best

But didn’t stand out from the rest

Time and time again you say

“Why did I chose this path?”


I can see

Everything I’ve done

All the things I’ve said

Have just seemed now to gone to waste

And it seems

Just impossible

To escape this prolonged rut


Trying to deny it doesn’t help

It’ll only make it worse for yourself

Think about doing something else?

Well… YOU’LL BE BROKE!


Don’t want to be another sheep

Instead of trying to stand out

You didn’t take that leap


I can see

Everything I’ve done

All the things I’ve said

Have just seemed now to gone to waste

And it seems

Just impossible

To escape this prolonged rut
