FAWM: "Swing Wide"

Swing Wide

NSFW

Liner Notes

The third demo I started for this year's FAWM, but ended up finishing this one first because it was the most inspiring to me at the moment/things were flowing. Fun/rewarding to make and looking forward to the rest of FAWM (hope I can catch up).

Lyrics

Hand caught in your pocket
Key caught in the lock
Holding on to something
Something you forgot

There’s something around the corner
There’s something on the line
You cannot see it coming
You’ve felt it this whole time

I am eager to please
I’m the last thing I need
I’m a contradiction to myself
Always trying to get somebody else
To tell me what I need to be ok
Can’t make the feeling go away

My mind is boiling over
With stupid shit to say
Nothing feels familiar
Some things never change

I am eager to please
I’m the last thing I need
I’m a contradiction to myself
Always trying to get somebody else
To tell me what I need to be ok
Can’t make the feeling go away

I am eager to please
I’m the last thing I need
I’m a contradiction to myself
Always trying to get somebody else
To tell me what I need to be ok
Can’t make the feeling go away

(If you wanna win you gotta play
You were gonna lose some anyway
Hanging on to who you’ve gotta be
Searching for a sense of safety
Sink into a whole new fantasy
Turn into your own worst enemy)

I love this so much. The vocals are beautiful and gentle, the content is #relatable and the counter melody on the last part is FTW. Yes, yes to this song.
