A Little Invested

Описание: Notes:
And so ends a five song suite of relationship ballads. This was one that I had the melody and that random first line, A Little Invested, and it just seemed like there was no other title to give it. Sometimes that means the song doesn't work and other times, like this one I think, it means the title is just the jumping off point for the song, rather than the frame that the song hangs on. This one is definitely about the feeling of being in a one sided relationship where you know you're unhappy, but the person giving you the cold shoulder just makes you want to work harder to earn their affection. Well, maybe not you. But me, dear reader *sigh*. The guitars in this are very Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I think. Especially the "wrong" note very close to the end. Once I got into this one, the guitars seemed to be the focus and it felt really special.

The 53rd song recorded for the album

Lyrics:
I am, by the way, a little invested in things far away
When I'm feeling stressed I can't see straight
I am, so you know, a little upset when you talk at the show
Why can't you respect the theatre stage

Tell me why I can't let go of your lies
Tell me when I can see you again
Tell me who I have to kill to get to you
Tell me how, I'll kill 'em right now

I am, FYI, a little depressed so please step aside
I need some more rest, I've slept all day
I am, yeah get this, a little too restless and now I am pissed
You're now on my shit list, waste away

Tell me why I can't let go of your lies
Tell me when I can see you again
Tell me who I have to kill to get to you
Tell me how, I'll kill 'em right now
