Lyrics

Once again tell me what happened
When everything started to change
I imagine taking that left fork
And roaming right out of range

Want to pretend
Nothing is wrong
Acting like we know it all
Never the people to blame
Moving alone in our cars
Traffic fills with everyone
Feeling the same

2x
What do we do
What do we do
What do we do

A red light nowhere in sight
It's only downhill now
This ride's a no holds barred fight
Only hearing no sound

Want to pretend
Nothing is wrong
Acting like we know it all
Never the people to blame
Moving alone in our cars
Traffic filled with everyone
Feeling the same

2x
What do we do
What do we do
What do we do

Maybe one day what happens
Is you'll tell me what happened
When everything started to change

Very melodic, loved the harmonies very much. Drums add a great dynamic to the song!

I like the way the overall mood is matched: sounds and lyrics and dynamics. The drips of sound (?!) e.g. behind the initial "Once again..." verse are nicely subtle; as are the, um, gated synth sounds (I need to work on my commenting skills!) that nudge for attention.

I love the guitar loop, these harmonies are great too! My favorites are on “what do we do.” Im going to have to second newuke on the traffic line!

I really like these lyrics. My favorite lines are: "Traffic fills with everyone/Feeling the same." I'm glad that got a repeat. The final stanza is also quite nice as a bittersweet button.

Can’t wait to hear the audio! Lovely relatable lyrics. Love the lines “moving alone in our cars, traffic filled with everyone feeling the same” paints a picture and a feeling I never realized was there.
