Here's a track from my album Possums Are Scary. Check it here: thesonicwombat.bandcamp.com


Anywho, here's the lyrics; I hope you enjoy it, dog!


LYRICS:
I'm going back in time to meet myself again,
To have the laughs I had, when now was way back when.
I'll talk to me about how we plan to go back to now/then,
Going forward to the past; I'm going to will have been.


If I recall correctly, the trip will did go well,
We'll talked about the weather, and whether or not it is/was swell,
I'll take me by my hand, I'll lean in and I'll tell
myself
that finding tenses for time-travel is/was/will be hell


So I embark upon my journey, the trip doesn't take long,
I step out of my time machine, but something has gone wrong
I see myself talking to me, and they both look at I,
And us all look at each of we, and I all say "Oh my!"


[chorus]
Time Travel leads to confusion, if it's a phone booth you're using, or an ancient magic spell,
time travel leads to confusion, so if you're gonna do it, better think about it well.


I approach myselves and tip our hat and start to shoot the breeze;
one me hurries off, as if we've got somewhere to be,
I shrug and start a conversation with the other me,
we briefly speak, then he and me both hear our time machine.


It arrives again, and I come out, and start to say hello,
future me then takes his cue, and promptly starts to go,
he walks past me and past me, and leaves in the time machine,
I've got a feeling that when I show up, I'll quickly follow me.


and as it were, the mes that are start talking, so I leave,
I jump into the time machine, and take a break to breath,
all this timey-wimey stuff is getting to my head,
but now I'm lonely, so I'm going back to do it all again


[chorus]
Time Travel leads to confusion, if it's a phone booth you're using, or an ancient magic spell,
time travel leads to confusion, so if you're gonna do it, better think about it well.


If we assume that then is now and what's to come already has,
we can safely say that now will have already come to pass,
so I will presently present the present problem to the class,
why is quantum travel such a big pain in the ass?


No one knows, so we take it to the chorus!


[chorus]
Time Travel leads to confusion, if it's a phone booth you're using, or an ancient magic spell,
time travel leads to confusion, so if you're gonna do it, better think about it well.


I'm going back in time to meet myself again,
To have the laughs I had, when now was way back when.
I'll talk to me about how we plan to go back to now/then,
Going forward to the past; I'm
Going forward to the past; I'm
Going forward to the past; I'm going to will have been.

Haha, this is a really fun piece. I really love the lyrics, and it has an upbeat and cute vibe to it, almost like it's a commercial for something. XD I like your voice too. Another thing I liked was that the lyrics really told a story. Perhaps it lacks a little variety (as far as I'm concerned, you used the same three instruments the whole time (that cute little synth, guitar, and drums). I also think you had some slight mixing/balance issues. For example, the vocals are a little quiet as compared to the other instruments, and it was very hard to hear the kick throughout. The ending felt conclusive, though, and I applaud you overall for this cheesy, yet fun piece. :D

SonicWombat responds:

Thanks for the good analysis, friend.
