killedherself is officially a drainer
This song was a step out of my comfort zone with vocals, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I've been writing lyrics for a while now but never felt the confidence to use my voice to express them properly, but that is something I'm working on.
This is about feeling stuck in life, not being able to live your ideal life because it's too intimidating, and easier to stick to whats familiar for fear of anxiousness, but ending up stuck in a loop redoing the same day over and over. It starts to feel like you're not even living any more and you become numb to everything and lose motivation.
It's a story that is all too familiar for me and a state i constantly fall back into. This one means a lot ot me and I'm glad I got to express it how i intended <3
Lyrics:
Chorus x4
do the same thing every night
for the rest of our lives
over and over again
Verse
this OCD, anxiety, depression manic tendendies
why is it always me, its just not fair
i am the victim here
better to play safe and boring,
rather than go out exploring
can't hurt if i can't feel
can't love if it's not real
Chorus x2
do the same thing every night
for the rest of our lives
over and over again
waiting to die sometime
but we really don't care
running it back again
Verse
this OCD, anxiety, depression manic tendendies
why is it always me, its just not fair
i am the victim here
better to cling to delusion
rather than face the conclusion
that my doom is quickly looming
and it was all my own doing
killedherself is officially a drainer
i hadn't heard that term until now, but yesss i am a fanatic enthusiest for so many branches of counterculture and hyperbolised aesthetics :3
This is so uniquely brilliant in so many more ways than one. I have never heard something like this, and I loved it so much I had to download it so I could sing along with it in my DAW.
Keep doing what you're doing. You have a gift.
