Feb 2022 defeat-wave chill-synth ugh
Someone posted a picture on Reddit the other day of what they called a "Cross Wave", more commonly known as "Cross Sea". Per Wiki: A cross sea is a sea state of wind-generated ocean waves that form nonparallel wave systems.
Anywhoo... I liked the term and I've found myself in situations where I feel like I'm fighting the currents from every side... I cant make any decisions or take any actions where I'm not going to be attacked. Maybe this song is about you (doot doot da doo...)
10 years in
I can see the cracks
Furthering, furthering about
I repeat
Beat everything in me I have out
Leave me with your anger
And my own self doubt
When will it end
Ready for attack
Back to back, back to grind me down
I repeat
Keep projecting your selfless self around
You’re just a bully
In your plastic princess crown
—
Caught in the cross wave
Of “Never doing enough”
And "Having the nerve" to tell you
“There may be another way”
Caught in the cross wave
Of digging out of the rough
And proving myself, just to go through
And repeat this everyday
—
Hard to defend
Any little slip, and 3, 2, 1
I get hit, bitten my head off
Worn down to the end
I repeat
You could use a good friend

Let me up
I’ve had enough

An ocean of wonderful sound waves colliding. Killer chorus!!! (sounds like you should break up with them..)

Omg this is killer!
Omg I’m shook

Really loving this! Love the vocal delivery rhythm with synth groove. And that chorus whipped me back to a dark room in the 80s

Total Choon. Kind of punky synthy. I see a video. You're looking bored/cool singing the lyrics in a warehouse. That's it.

Hey now, my princess crown is platinum NOT plastic! :D Just kidding. I love the 80s new wave vibe here, it's the perfect vessel for the angst. The concept of crosswaves is a nice analogy.to describe a situation of being attacked on all sides. Another solid offering, sir, nice work!
