FAWM: "Rage Quit"

Rage Quit

Liner Notes

I made myself take last night off of writing and decided to play a video game. It didn't go well. Twice. The original language was less family friendly.

Any guesses what the game was? I give a bit hint...

Lyrics

Slowly crawling through the deepest depths of the cave
My bag loaded down, but I can't stop hunting what I crave

I hear him the same time I see him
There's no time to react
Before I know it three arrows pierce me
The skeleton archer just laughs

I rage quit
Screw this screw this
I rage quit
This stupid game.

X2

Go to bed bothered that I took so much with me
And didn't even take the time to plan a recovery
All day at work through reports and spreadsheets
That same rage in my head repeats

Why'd I rage quit?
Dammit dammit
Why'd I rage quit
That stupid game

X2

I clawed my way back down
and with my bare fists I fought it back
I should have turned back to the light
but instead chose to fill my sacks.
And as the darkness and the air grew thick
The last thing I remember was a hiss.

Baboom!

I rage quit
Screw this screw this
I rage quit
This stupid game.

the title and sentiment are all too relatable; you've done a great job of capturing the frustration of a game/job that can feel rigged

Nice guitar part in the verse and the chorus has a cool hook. And another set of lyrics I can related to. Like it.

Flipping creepers!! This is fantastic, I think I need to take some time off for Minecraft too lol.

The whole thing is awesome but the catchiness and intensity of the chorus stand out to me. So great 👏

@wondertruly 2w

Video game songs always tickle me. I love this! The hook is so catchy and bouncy while staying intense. Fantastic storytelling too!

I like this term, rage quit. I’m going to incorporate it into my most trying times. Like I’ll rage quit weaving or trying to play music to a metronome. It’s fun and unique this tune! And yes dunno the video game you speak of!

I wish my son would rage-quit some of the video games that make him scream at the screen, but he just keeps hanging in there. ;) I like your concept here and the short, sharp strums on the chorus. That worked really well!

Oh man I can relate! I've had some painful minecraft deaths... And even more painful missions trying to get my stuff! "The last thing I remember was a hiss" Love it
