i want to rewrite some songs on this album because i just don't feel some anymore but at one point i did so maybe i should idk. ok so basically i'll put the song title n a breif description and you could say which one sounds interesting and i'll post it basically (if u wanna do that)
1. the twins
about my dad and uncle. i wrote this for my uncle around his birthday 2015 actually, but never ended up showing it to him. it speaks of what happened to my father and how broken they both are but musically it is very upbeat and its a really naive song, its a bit lyrically upbeat as well so. yeah.
2. carried away
well one day i kinda woke up on my grandpas bed after he died and the thought inside my head was "i dont think i wanna wake up today" and that led to the chorus (today + carried away rhymedyness). its about how i felt about what happened to my dad and my grandpa and my ex and i felt everything was being carried away from me but really i was too carried away in my hurt to notice the beauty of life at times (thats the albums concept)
3. scorpio
this is about my ex girlfriend who said she was more like a scorpio than a taurus, and she was really sad the days before she left me and its a really all over the place song bc it doesn't really have a structure.
4. the other side
this is a song i wrote about my grandpa when he died. i remember staying up all night the night it happened n stuff because we just came home and he was gone. i felt kinda guilty because if i stayed home i could have saved him, but then again being alone with someone dead and seeing your grandpa dead and being fuCking alone would be just terrifying wouldn't it?
5. september 9th
this is about what happened to my dad, and more so the people who did it. i don't think the person who hit him was a horrible person, i believe he was troubled. i believe the horrible person was the man who convinced him to. it kinda reminds me of the beginning of genesis in the bible w the serpent and adam and eve and in the song i call the convincer the serpent.
6. butterflies
this is about a boy i had a crush on in church. i really dont give a shit about it anymore but i guess its kinda cute and dumb lmao
7. thoughts at 3:30am
this song is about my exes, my first boyfriend and my first girlfriend. i probably wrote this at like 330am in the middle of summer, since they are my thoughts at 3:30am.
8. you
this song is inspired by halsey's "coming down", i read the lyrics before listening to it and kinda came up with the tune for the song that i would make like that and idk i just made it. its about how i thought the only terrible thing that'd happen to my family was my dad dying and then my grandpa just dies. "i found the devil, i never really knew him in those past lives" yeah
9. shayne
again, about my ex girlfriend. i honestly dont feel this song at all anymore but i really missed her at the time because she just completely stopped talking to me, but now we talk again so yay
10. young blood
this song is about my old best friend, alex, when he was going through a really rough time. he would call me and cry and stuff and he probably felt pressured because his family expects him to get into an ivy league college.
11. orbry
this is about my grandpa again, my missing him n yeah. it has a lot of 'a-a-a's and 'o-o-o-o's.
12. ghosts
about what ghosts see when they pass on from suicide, which is the song that concludes this album.
i hope this album intrests u im so ungodly attached to the idea because this album was my mind for so long.
p.s. im entering some of my stories into wattys 2016, not this one but i have entered 'mermaid and sailor', 'bluebook', and 'alphabetica' and hope to get something outta it. please spread my stories around to your friends or family or online, as long as you dont claim that they are yours. thanks guys i love u sm bye
