I want so badly for this to have an animated music video. I see it starting with an undetonated sea mine beeping out sonar from the ocean floor.


Imagine if it were personified, drifting through its endless life trying to make friends, but repeatedly rejected because of its apparently explosive nature.


if you take this and run with it, you have full artistic freedom beyond that first image.


Oh! And please tag me so I can watch it and show my support


{DJDj}

The first time I released this, I did it my way. This here is me taking my father, the professional audio engineer's advice.


Hey, dad.


Thank you for being there for me across the years. Thank you for always believing in me, and doing everything you could to give me the tools I needed to succeed and live a happy, healthy life. We don’t talk as much as we could, but I think of you every day. Every time I pick up my guitar.


And another big special thanks to Gnarls Barkley for writing this emotionally enthralling masterpiece, making my youth wildly more vibrant than it would’ve been without your music. You, and my father, and my friends, and my family, and my exes, and everybody- you are all why I love being alive so very much, and thank you for existing.


I love you. 💚


[LYRICS]


[Intro]

Em D Cmaj7 x4

E Em D Cmaj7

[Verse 1]

Em D Cmaj7

Basically I'm complicated.

Em D Cmaj7

I have a hard time taking the easy way.

Em D Cmaj7

I wouldn't call it schizophrenia.

Em D Cmaj7

But I'll be at least two people today.

E Em D Cmaj7

If thats ok. And I can go on and on and on, but who cares?

[Verse 2]

Em D Cmaj7

It's deep how you can be so shallow.

Em D Cmaj7

And I'm afraid 'cause I have no fear.

Em D Cmaj7

And I didn't believe in magic.

Em D Cmaj7

Until I watched you disappear.

E Em D Cmaj7

I wish you where here. And I can go on and on and on, but who cares?

[Verse 3]

Em D Cmaj7

You see, everybody is somebody.

Em D Cmaj7

But nobody wants to be themselves.

Em D Cmaj7

and If I ever wanted to understand me

Em D Cmaj7

I'll have to talk to someone else.

E Em D Cmaj7

Cause every little bit helps. And I can go on and on and on, but who cares?

[Rap Verse]

Em D

Feels like...the surreal life.

Cmaj7

But it's still nice. Wish I could live twice,

Em D

and I still might, if these wounds heal right.

Cmaj7

I see a little light, even though it's still night.

Em D

Feels like...the surreal life.

Cmaj7

But it's still nice. Wish I could live twice,

Em D

and I still might, if these wounds heal right.

Cmaj7

I see a little light, even though it's still night.

[Outro]

E Em D Cmaj7

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

[Interlude]

Em D Cmaj7 x4

E Em D Cmaj7

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?
