the art of floating

Liner Notes

surprise! my debut album, dial tone, is out early and now yours.

what a journey this album has been. accomplishing my goal of 14 songs this month feels bittersweet, like opening and closing a chapter all at once. i'm releasing my last three songs with the link to the album!

you can support here: -bandcamp: https://sadcoolgirl.bandcamp.com/album/dial-tone -soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/sadcoolgirl2/sets/dial-tone

this track is about my experiences navigating mental health and the continual pendulum swing of the rise and fall of it.

Lyrics

i promised myself i’d stop asking why my chest’s filled with lavender butterflies sighing i hold it all in and forget to breathe until i’m an untethered echo in the trees and if i fall will anyone hear me? can anyone hear me?

it’s true that the art of floating is one i have mastered and the most i have learned of love was how to avoid a disaster

and god i want it all the tenuous rise the high fall and whatever comes after

tears that come tangled with laughter

i saw the reflection in the mirror it couldn’t be me but how could it not be any clearer? i knock myself down, lose a few more pounds until i’m just left an empty, broken sound and if i’m a lost cause i don’t wanna be found i don’t wanna be found

it’s true that the art of floating is one i have mastered and the most i have learned of love was how to avoid a disaster

and god how it can be i’m oscillating between hollow and holy each phase passes right through me a ghost, can anyone see me i’m the one haunting your daydreams

it’s true that the art of floating is one i have mastered and the most i have learned of love was how to avoid a disaster

i’m just a stranger with nowhere to go i’m just a last cigarette put out in the snow

Really sweet and chill vibe! I really like your soft vocal and nice rhythmic melody. Really nice lyrics as well. Mental health is a hard but important subject to write about. Glad you have this outlet to share it! Congrats on the album! I will have to check it out soon!
