I've had writer's block for the past few months, so this is something low stakes and silly to break out of it and get started. Feels good to just finish something!
Am I a failure
Lacking in discipline
Lost in a Netflix hole
Lonely and loving it
I know that
I could do lots of things
Life has got more for me
This should pass in a week
Hopefully
That’s how it usually goes
Not my first rodeo
I could do rodeo
Run away
Off the the rodeo
Or to cirque du soleil
I’m just not too in shape
Sometimes I just want to start over again
In somebody else’s
Somebody else’s life
Somebody else’s
Somebody else’s life
It's getting boring
All my anxieties
Swell up inside of me
Nothing I haven't seen
I know that
I’m just stuck in a rut
It’s my vacation home
I come here sometimes but
Not by choice
I need a holiday
From my vacation
It’s not a vacation
It’s metaphor
Cutesy concealment
for chronic depression
a lackluster rodeo
Sometimes I just want to start over again
In somebody else’s
Somebody else’s life
Somebody else’s
Somebody else’s life

this is really great. I love the chorus. the desire to escape
@fonte Feb 2022
Sorry listening again and just wanted to add, the play out is so good. Really catchy :-)
@fonte Feb 2022
Beautiful, sad song. I get it. I get it. Really raw and delicate performance.
@jennakole Feb 2022
Perfect, plainly stated and relatable. Giving me rilo kiley b-side!
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice write! You've captured a real, universal feeling here. The "run-ons" between verses really propel the song along. Lovely vocal performance.
@jorgevallentine Feb 2022
I'm so happy you're back this year!

Your voice really sells the loneliness of being so frustrated with yourself. The way the words "rodeo" and "vacation" keep popping up conveys the we we all get obsessive or intrusive thoughts. Great hook, and beautiful rising melody leading into it!

This is absolutely relatable and I identify with all of it. I feel like this is also what my brain feels like inside (hugs) very well written and very well done! Thanks for sharing!!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Oh heck is this ever relatable. And I love the way the melody soars in the prechorus. And the forward-pushing of the melody and lyric on the verse. Like frantic thoughts running through the brain needing to get out in song.
Awesome. (Also, I LOVE your voice!)
