Liner Notes

Started playing around with this, intentionally trying to sound like UMO. Then came up with the intro riff and thought 'oh!' new FAWM track!

Chasing shiny things is a metaphor for neglecting the consistent and necessary parts of my life in favour of new and exciting projects or ventures, only the realise that things and people don't last forever.

Definitely more of a demo, haven't really nailed down the structure or lyrical phrases, but it's a start!

Lyrics

I live out here alone,
And never check on my phone, it's on me
I feel so senseless, it's ruthless, I'm useless
It seems, this century

You said we're not alone, we've got the wind, and the trees, a fake beach
I said I'm useless, that's truthless
I'm working on things, you'll see.

Cause I do it all to myself
Been putting you up on the shelf
And choosing loneliness

I do it to myself,
Putting you on the shelf.
And choosing loneliness. x2

I do it to myself,
Putting you all the shelf.
Chasing shiny things.

All I can see through the mist
Are the ghost of the people I've missed, from chasing shiny things.
