about

This was a song I had been working on and thinking about during the lockdown phase of the pandemic. I was really inspired and driven to make such as song as some kind of love song, but still make it a bit funny.
The idea of song goes along the lines of really trying to open up to someone in your life, while still dealing with insulated depression that we all faced in some way. I know I did and tried to make the most of it. Still, there's this feeling that hasn't gone away since things changed that makes me feel a bit more compelled to do such a thing as this and this way.

lyrics

Here are the lyrics.

Its long nights
and short days
that I wish I could bring a friend
into my
emotional roller coaster waterfall
but stalemate, no need to check on me
Cuz Im still sleepin in my bed
While staring up
At the shadows
of my holy roller night mare
Well Days have gone by, and Im screwed up
And my hair is getting long.
Im stuck inn the next dimension
while I was tryna put you on
But the words wont come, with intention
Cuz i just gotta let it out
And im stuck in rut and Im losing control
Can anybody hear me out
Pre chorus
And with my seretonin levels shot down
I just dont feel up to my usual
And Im using everything I got now
So if I have to use this love as a crutch
Its coming from the soul to say
Chorus
Please take your time to get to know this side of my heart.
If you stay we can lay and play in the sunshine
With a corkscrew in my pocket
Look im just tryna ease my pain
For the long days will turn into short nights
and i gotta explain
Just why Im bouncing around in shoebox
Like I dont even know my name.
Like there is no real intention
I guess I gotta start again
