about

Written in the peak of lock down after a very necessary break-up, this was one of those songs that kind of "magically" flew out of me. The dichotomy of being locked in my home while also feeling a resounding new freedom was interesting to say the least. It was the first time in a long time that I felt like I could give my whole being into caring about others and prioritizing self-care in a way I hadn't been able to because I wasn't caught up in my own afflictions. Musically it became a challenge of how many melodies I could stack on each other without it turning into chaos to really emphasize the feeling of "I can give my energy to whatever I want to." Any time I play it I try and remind myself to not lose that energy and I hope it does the same for you.

lyrics

with nothing in my way I'm gonna sleep alone tonight
no pants, water to my right
in time I'll find what gets me there

pardon me, I'm barefoot in the city street
new lips, dirty hotel sink
will I manage to wash my hair

I don't give a damn but I'll give two shits
it's time I burden myself with something bigger than this
I don't give a damn but I'll curse for kicks
it's time I burden myself or I'll be remiss

with nothing in my way I'll take on to the streets tonight
eyes well at stories that aren't mine
this heartbreak that should be prolonged
pardon me, been playing in this game for free
once again relearning what it means
will anybody hear this song

I don't give a damn but I'll give two shits
it's time I burden myself with something bigger than this
I don't give a damn but I'll curse for kicks
it's time I burden myself or I'll be remiss

I don't remember breaking up
I'm learning a new way to love
don't matter what it feels like
if the foundation wasn't built right
