It Ain’t Fun (It Ain’t Cool) | Belle Mourne | Swamp Glitch Gospel (Original Song)

Описание: “It Ain’t Fun” is an original Belle Mourne song written for people who are actually carrying the weight—not for the culture that turns pain into a costume.

The spoken intro draws a hard line: this isn’t aimed at those who share their story to heal, seek community, or find help. It’s aimed at the performative side of the internet—where labels get worn like accessories and trauma becomes a trend. When suffering gets gamified, the people who need real support get doubted, dismissed, or talked over.

Verse 1 calls out the impulse to “borrow storms” for social credibility: claiming shadows you’ve never known, wearing a label to fit in, making heaviness look aesthetic. But the truth is heavier than it seems. Real struggle doesn’t show up as content; it shows up as endurance—quiet, daily, costly.

The pre-chorus is the anchor statement:
“I carry the weight every day—trust me, it’s not a game I play.”

The chorus is simple on purpose, built to cut through noise:
“It ain’t fun, it ain’t cool. Every day’s a battle I didn’t choose.”
That line is not about shaming people who are honest about mental health. It’s about protecting the truth: that this fight is not a gimmick, not a vibe, not a personality trait. For many, it is survival.

Verse 2 shifts from commentary to lived experience—breath-by-breath reality. It describes the lifelong nature of the shadow, the way it hijacks mornings and poisons nights, how it turns ordinary moments into endless fights. There’s no glamor in it. The goal is not attention; the goal is staying alive, staying present, and finding help that actually works.

The bridge explains why performative claiming does damage:
When people claim what they haven’t got, it makes the truth look like a plot. It creates cynicism. It trains others to doubt. And it can shut out the very people who are trying to reach for support. The message is not “don’t talk.” The message is “don’t cosplay suffering.”

Production and sound design are part of the meaning. “It Ain’t Fun” sits in Belle Mourne’s Swamp Glitch Gospel lane: whispered, close-mic vocals; reversed piano loops; detuned pads; glitch percussion; static bursts; and swamp field recordings (crickets, water drips, distant thunder). The instrumentation is designed to feel unstable—like breath catching, footing slipping, and then the chorus “caving in” with reverb swells and glitch drops. It’s a sonic representation of overwhelm, not a thrill ride.

If you’re listening and this hits too close: you’re not weak for needing help, and you’re not alone for carrying it. The outro includes a direct message because safety matters more than aesthetics:
“If you’re carrying this weight for real, dial 988. There’s help. There’s hope. You’re not alone.”

In the U.S., 988 connects you to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text). If you’re outside the U.S., local crisis services exist too—please reach out to someone in your area or talk to a trusted person immediately. This song is art, but you are a person with a future, and your life matters.
