FAWM: "Look on the dark side"

Look on the dark side

Skirmish: take a look on the bright... (@fairplay)

Liner Notes

Lyrics

Look on the bright side is that thing you always say
You think tomorrow will be better than today
And yet I have found out to nobody’s surprise
Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

I know there’s nothing wrong with being an optimist
I know there’s many a silver lining I have missed
I do not see the clouds as blessings in disguise
Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

I’m finding out that any hope I have just fades
You think the future’s bright so you have to wear shades
But I’m not one to fall for any of your lies
Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

You see the rainbow when I only see the rain
Those anxious thoughts that keep on whirling through my brain
And there no one to answer any of my cries
Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

The cynic in me says that dreams do not come true
I sometimes wish I had the same outlook as you
The lightning flashes through those dark and stormy skies
Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

A gentle answer to toxic positivity, I love it ☺️

This is Eyore’s anthem, telling Pooh and Piglet to take it down a notch! An excellent response to the prompt for sure. Timely in its healthy dose of cynicism to counter balance toxic positivity.

Nice catchy jazzy song and love the idea of looking on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes. Some great lines in there. Well played too.
