Liner Notes

Slowly chuggin along in this challenge. I'm busy and tired af.
Had this drowsy guitar bit, then I built on it and built on it til it sounded kinda complete and I was out of energy and ideas. Did a variety of percussion and played each drum separately in multiple takes.
Wrote lyrics inspired by the feeling of leaving old belongings (and/or your old self) behind, maybe? Perhaps also inspired by Salad Days by Mac D. a little bit.

Lyrics

Old days are over, how do you think it went?
Relive the moment that brought me to be, what I am.
I watch the door, as it closes more, inching further in
The direction that I thought I would be, is buried beneath the soil.

I don’t want more, but I’m lookin for, the light between the ends,
Under the core, the earth is made for, your brain and your body to endure
Keep reaching for, what’s under the floor, and it leaves you hoping for more
Release your grip, and get close to it, cuz your old day’s have ended before.

Re-read the pages, that I had wrote back then
A little note that told what I should be, and who i am
Not anymore, it’s not me I’m sure, that person behind the pen
Someone who’s been, believing that when
It’s never gonna end

I don’t need more, but I’m lookin for, the world between the ends
Reach for the switch, and turn into which
You never expected before
Keep reaching for what’s under the floor,
And it leaves you hoping for more
Relax your breath, and don’t wish the end
That it will not come anymore
