Another song with crappy vocals/cover art, as well as another track fully produced on Soundtrap. This was such a fun concept to work on though!
I was trying to write this song expressing the perspective of how it feels being tormented by thoughts of how one feels for people they instantly grow attached to due to lack of connections growing up. In the middle of making this, I thought of the song "Aishite, Aishite, Aishite". The theme/context of this song sorta reminded me of what I was trying to go for with my track and so I was slightly inspired by it later on. I don't really like the original vocaloid version of Aishite but I LOVE the male cover!
Anyway, I hope this is decent! I didn't use ANY autotune bc I felt my raw voice would help to convey some pure emotion.
~LYRICS~
INTRO:
Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile
That's me, that's me
You smile at me once, there is nothing as vile
To me, to me
I grew up thinking I wasn't liked much
So if you show kindness I'll soon crave your touch
Is it love or obsession? The lines become blurred
"I know we just met so this will sound absurd, but-"
CHORUS:
I can't stop this
Curse, it wraps around me
My thoughts, possessive
Of you who seems so lovely
You don't deserve it
I didn't ask for it
But something keeps dragging me back
Constant spiraling
What's sweet becomes jarring
And my mind is under attack
I'm going insane and
A straight jacket won't cut it out
“Wow, you’re so good at that!”
Do I like you?
“You seem pretty cool so far!”
Do you like me?
“I hope we can hang out more!”
Do you want me-
SHUT UP!
It’s torture in here…
*instrumental break*
I grew up thinking I wasn't liked much
So if you show kindness I'll soon crave your touch
Fun Fact: This was supposed to be two keys lower than it is now, but it proved to be too low for me to sing at times, so i pitched up the instrumental to a key that wasn't far from the original and keeps that dark vibe (I believe this key is C minor). I do miss the original key not gonna lie, but I'm still content with this version.
XyPhr and I both guessed this might fall under the "rock" genre so I'm republishing it as rock. (I know it would be simpler to just update the properties but AT isn't letting me do that rn -_-)
Btw guys, I had to upload this as an mp3 file divided into 6 sections, so it's not remixable in this state. If anyone wanted to remix this, I would have to take the time to upload the vocals separately from the instrumental, kind of a weird process... so I don't think I will have remix on unless someone wanted to use that to attach their cover of this song to this track? Idk...
