I do lyrical themes every year and this year’s theme is the previous year - same theme as last year…since we seem to be on repeat.
Except this is yet another with no biographical relevance, so I guess I'm bad at themes. Also sometimes lazy at lyrics. I had a second verse of similarly vacuous wordage and then decided to just intro with an empty verse instead. This song’s really about liking these chord changes anyway. In fact it’s my first ever use of a diminished chord in my songwriting. :::Pats self on back even though his previous FAWM song was literally one chord.:::
First mix - needs more work.
I caught on
To the secret
I caught on
To the ruse
I caught on
To the signals
I caught on
To the news
And then I
Got the picture
And then I
Saw the light

Nice write: the obscurity, and near paranoia, of the lyric is compelling, and the sparse arrangement ("spy chords", even) builds tension.

I like it. It has a dreamy feeling to it. Nice sound too.
