FAWM: "Those Words"

Those Words

1 week ago by @roxya

Liner Notes

True story (the dream part, not the becoming famous part). It was quite disconcerting waking up realizing I was trying to discredit myself in my dream. Who even does that?

Also, I'm up to two blisters after this song.

Lyrics

Those words

I had a dream I wrote a song And the world was amazed

I couldn’t rest I thought I stole The story of someone great

I scoured my memory Ticked of every place I’ve ever been Tore my self-worth to shreds Those words, those words, those words

I couldn’t sleep I had to know Is this something I earned

I scoured my memory Ticked of every place I’ve ever been Tore my self-worth to shreds Those words, those words, those words

Their praises Is driving me crazy Their praises Is driving me insane Their praises Is driving me crazy Their praises Is driving me up the wall

I scoured my memory Ticked of every place I’ve ever been Tore my self-worth to shreds Those words, those words, those words

Howzit, friendly neighborhood neuro here. Cognitive Dissonance is a bitch, isn't it?

We make these things, and then we work up the nerve to show them to people, and then people like the thing, and then aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Maybe you made a nice thing, hey? Make another one, go on.

I hope the blisters pass! This brings to mind someone fixating on something they said, and not knowing what to do with others' praise, very relatable. Nice!

Thanks. I'm trying to take days off in between to help the calluses form. Hope you're having a great FAWM.

Fantastic melodies throughout! You really are skilled at this songwriting thing! Really loved working on the collab together, would love to work together on something again, if you have some lyrics that you think need music, let me know whenever, however, you are so fully capable of writing gorgeous melodies!

Thank you so much for your support and encouraging comments. Being the introvert that I am, this is the first FAWM I feel embraced and welcomed in such a warm manner (even though you're the fawmling and I've been doing this for over a decade, it feels quite the opposite). At least @mdavisto also remembers me and checks in every year, but at this point as a fellow South African its his duty. Lets see how FAWM goes, I'm already in the I don't know what to write about slump, but I'll definitely reach out if theres some lyrics that need your magic.

The government has failed to deliver comments. The people will provide.
