It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Happy New Year! Well, at least where I'm from this should release right on the dot.
I swear I'm not in my Teto era, but I maaay have 3 more originals featuring her on the way.. Not one after another! I've got plenty of other songs to work on, so I'll pace myself. But I mention it because I actually bought her voicebank FOR this song. I'd tested every other vb (lite or not) on the base melody, and none of them hit quite like Teto, so it gave me the push I needed. She's tricky, but I love her.
Onto the song itself! I'm not going to pretend I'm on a Genius interview and dissect my own song, plus most of it is fairly direct, though I'm not sure how many people can specifically relate to it. Regardless, I'm happy if it speaks to you in any way, at any point. It feels nice to put my feelings into words.
Finally, plans for 2025... There are 2 songs I haven't finished but hope to release in February.. Then there's Vocagathering in April, for which I've got a wide array of WIPs to choose from..... And I have no other fixed dates in mind! On the roster we've got Teto, SAROS (+cameos), Kevin and Mai, ASTERIAN as Astin again, SOLARIA, a Mai solo... and if I push through the slog that is the instrumental for my Frimo-chan song, that too! Thank you for being here, and I wish us all a good year. Cheers!

🍦LYRICS:

Feel your braincells wash off, squeaky clean
Clear-headed and compliant with the standards of living in the real
It's stupid
I could probably fight it but I don't see the appeal
Too dumb to get it, what's my deal?
Too smart for you to kill
Gotta help me out instead then
Wise men say "stress to impress," guess I don't deserve them.

We wink and we nod and we high-five,
We hug each other everyday and lie our way through this mundane life
I know that, but even these thoughts are secondhand, is that alright?

This is not a special time
It never crossed my mind
till you showed me my canon
Well, worry not, I learned to play the game before I get left behind

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

No, this is not a special time
Speeding past the days like a slip'n'slide
When I lose track, you train me so I do no wrong
And prevent my social suicide
No, I never really wanted
I never truly shouted out my love
I hope I had it..
Surrounded by templates of a mind and experiences that I'll never know

So if I'm cast aside, where do I go?

Who knows?

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah

I checked inside
No sight of me, naturally
I checked outside
Ha.. Let's just forget that
Now I must decide if I ever wanna be real to anyone
Or would I rather fight?
Sure as hell don't wanna live a lie.

♫

Time can go ahead and pass me by
They'll find out all about it just right outside of wrong or right, and
I'm very happy we're alive.
I'm very happy, really,
But don't you wax poetic when I die
'Cause this is not a special time
And fuck whoever said that it had to be to be worthwhile
I know I'll never find my light
Not till my last goodnight.
