guitar from johnny808 on looperman


lyrics;

you're just not what i needed

(but in the end, you know, it's just like

i can't stop thinking about you

isn't that funny?)


you're just not what i needed

i was in love and you were conceited

i lie awake 'cause i hate when i dream

i would rather be dead than live while i know that you're breathing

you made me tired of sleeping

so i'm staying up


awake for once, don't think about it now

i did too much, think i'm spiraling down

i got marks on my arms and i feel nothing at all

you'd tell me it's harmful but once you are gone

from my memory

i'll try to be a better me


you're just not what i needed

i was in love and you were conceited

i lie awake 'cause i hate when i dream

i would rather be dead than live while i know that you're breathing

you made me tired of sleeping

so i'm staying up

Interesting! The guitar and the lyrics feel steeped in indie/emo of the 00s, but your vocal delivery (melody, tone, autotune) remind me more of modern pop/hip-hop songs.

Overall you've got a nice, pared down track that doesn't overstay its welcome. Nice job! :)

It's good, it's simple. Wish there was a little more too it, but that's also part of what works about it I guess.

Your layered vocals towards the end sound fantastic.
