I'd hoped to create several more songs this month, but I couldn't stop developing this one despite myself. I want to say more about it, but it's 3am and my cat is already upset enough that I'm not in bed yet
you are surrounded by the present tense
where indecision comes at great expense
swept underneath the tides of life
this is the dawning of indifference
you have been driven by your sentience
across the landscape of your existence
unbuckle up it's time to fly
without the safety of a consciousness
hanging on
now that i am
hanging on
now i feel it
and once i looked it in the eye
don't think i really wanna go
i couldn't live unless i died
don't think i really wanna go

I love the ambiguity that's buried in "it's time to fly / without the safety of a consciousness." Is this the protagonist losing their mind? Arrangement harkes back to 80s Cure, to my ears. Those guitars are definitely getting the job done, and the lo-fi organ adds just the right amount of wooziness to everything. Very nicely done.

The lyrics are really relatable and the whole thing seems somehow familiar and comforting, despite the anxiety framing it all. Really cool!

"dawning of indifference" excellent line. #anxietycore pretty well sums this troubled dreampiece up, and the uncertain soul in the middle of it is definitely doomed. I appreciate the prduction BTW
(Bad luck for the cat, my dog knows the feeling but being a dog makes more allowances for human stupidity).
