Description
My personal favorite on Format Not Supported. I used an acoustic guitar for the bassline throughout the song, which plays in conjunction with a blue carpet synthesizer. This mellow combination goes well with trance strings and modular bells to give a very mysterious but uplifting tone. The lyrics depict several dreams I had been having for a brief period, all of which still resonate to this day. The subconscious communicates through dreams, which I in turn communicate to the listener.
Lyrics
Every night I lay in bed I try to make some sense Of this present days events Inhaling deep I take a breath Exhaling grabbing Decorative aiguillettes Of my window curtain And I see the planes from LAX I’ve been Having Diffi-coolty to sleep But just To know that ya’ll are moving’s Therapeutic to me Several miles above me Ya’ll are glued to the seat Until the seatbelt sign’ll be Diffused with a ding I’m saying (ding) Ya’ll can walk the compartment Now Finally I sleep And Watch me fall into darkness Cuz Every night I dream of being Locked in a coffin And me being claustrophobic I get awfully nauseous So Awaken on a stage Fronta every bully known Since I was a kid and Every mother fuckers fully clothed All a sudden yo they taken off they’re woolen coat eventually their naked And their chests have got a bullet hole spitting faster blood is spouting out of them Begging me to stop This is what ya drownin in This is what you get For when you said I wont amount to shit I used to be a coward Now I’m out to make ya bow to this Mother fuckers wanna Offer an apology? Fuck it feel the pain For all Trauma you were causing me Won’t forget you cuz you’ll always be a part of me Way that I perspire always wakin’ up in soggy sheets Mother fucker No escaping from this dream Calling me a bitch and People say I’ma a pipsqueak On some medication I’ve been taken for six weeks head is sweating bullets Pillowcase is like Swiss cheese ya I know My looks’ll deceive give a kid a chance Cuz Just a glance will mislead Who I am on earth Is always different in sleep You see I’m shirtless In my dreams And Yet with tricks up my sleeve You feel me And I can redefine The person I’m Mistaken for Cuz When asleep I always get a chance to change the course Who I used to be And My mistakes I’m gonna face em’ all bite my tongue and lips and I’ll awaken with a Canker sore have a dream I’m in a swimming pool Sitting in an inner tube Surface always smooth Ayo its like the waters ripple proof couldn’t make a splash If I jumped off a building’s roof And then I Get to drifting yo except my visions misconstrued Ya Not how is noe-mally is I mean my Life is Black and white An episode’a bewitched Try to move except the tube Is holding me in Lookin at the sun I see A solar eclipse And Then its Getting darker yo After every minute goes water isn’t water shit its gooier than silicone keep my head afloat I’m Sinking doing swimming strokes Then Im always wakin’ up Right as the sun begins to show
