Up next after the chilled "gaze", I decided to put in an upbeat, funky, beat made by the great Momo Ward (producer of my song Voluntary Solitary). This song is basically me telling someone to chill out, not to stress out too much, and not to put too much pressure on themselves. Ohji, whom I worked with for the song "assuming", helped me out with a verse in the end.
lyrics
Life's got you falling to pieces x2
Life's got you, life's got you girl
Oh woah
I've been thinking girl, it seems you're stuck in a limbo
'Cause in your world, there's only losers and winners
I'm no know it all, don't know it all but,
Seems your life is lacking fun, too busy being number one and,
You're tired of finishing in front and I'm, kinda like a microwave
Heat it all up in a jiffy babe
Turn the dial up, wait a minute
No pots no pans, no commitment
Oh easily, easily
Where there's a hard way there's an easy way
Outside your window, among your flamingos
Hasta la vista, I ain't been to Hawaii
But I heard it's quite nice in the summertime, summertime
Float in the Dead Sea, I think you are in dire need of TLC, TLC
Wait I know you'll thank me, no need, no need
Saved your life from anxiety
well you know i try to be
mr calm cool collected just dont ever lie to me
cause i probably would detect it that your brain has been infected
by the waves of microethics im afraid i must conduct lobotomy (oh)
a lot of these things people say we need really just products of the fast food society
that we live in nowadays pop it in the microwave give it like 30 seconds stir it a bit and repeat
no need for stressing over what we're gonna eat babygirl we got leftover pizza from last week (bon appetít)
unless you prefer my specialty (what's that?)
cup noodles w a side of arizona tea (haha)
or we can fly to hawaii where every day is sweet
try some poi at the luau then head to bellows beach
seeing you in a bathing suit would be such a treat
just thinking about it g-g-got me stuttering my speech
