LyricsShow lyrics

Hi I’m totally brand new here, but boy do I love a forum and a challenge 🙂

*It’s autumn and I
had a difficult summer
It’s the third in a row
where I wasn’t sure
I’d make it out

Winter comes fast I
hate wearing layers
Overload my senses
Unzip my body and
please let me out

CHORUS
Now I know what they mean
when they say the cold is biting
something’s got to give
Watch me sink or help me swim

Spring is a lie I
never believed it
A nose with enemies
All April showers bring
is May mud

It’s summer again I
miss wearing layers
so you can’t see me
always trying to unzip me
I don’t want you to perceive me

CHORUS
Now I know what they mean
when they say the cold is biting
Something’s got to give
Watch me sink or help me swim
Watch me sink or help me swim
Watch me sink or help me swim
Watch me sink or help me
Watch me sink or help me
Watch me sink or help me
Watch me sink or help me *

G&P is just as hard as G&G. I'm impressed with the way everyone can come up with lyrics, but I wish everyone would spend more time on a good melody, with less words. Again, this song seems to go nowhere, same loop with repeated lyrics… I understand you wanted a floaty feeling, but I need to be taken somewhere... I might be drifting at sea, but how did I get there and will it ever end?

really like those cascading piano arpeggios and the vocal is very strong. The warm lo-fi sound suits the song, it feels intimate in a way that fits the tone set in the lyrics (which are really interesting). It took me a few listens before I realised how similar the verse and chorus are musically, the shift in the vocal melody does a great job making them feel completely different.
