Minor Keys Haunt Me in My Sleep but Sometimes, to Keep Your Time, You've Gotta Be Scared Awake, As the Best Feelings Are Often the Scariest
Awakening the Fear Within: Skreaming Skeletons' Haunting Journey
Lyrics
I don't really remember who I am
I have difficulty recalling my true identity.
I'm just pretty sure I'm not who I'm supposed to be
I believe I'm not living up to societal expectations.
I have this little group of somewhat fans
I have a small group of fans, but I distance them with each new release.
That I alienate with each new release
I push away my fans as I evolve my artistic style.
Just like the friends I've had since second grade
My long-term friendships have suffered due to my self-absorption and pain.
Degraded as my vanity and pain choked me
My ego and suffering have negatively impacted my relationships.
I feel like I died in third grade and I'm just haunting the people I know
I feel disconnected from my past, as if I died in childhood, and now I haunt those around me.
I don't fit in anywhere but people think I do
Despite appearances, I don't feel like I fit in anywhere.
It's harder now to compensate with a humor that's untrue
I use humor to mask my sense of not belonging, but it's not authentic.
I don't fit in anywhere so please don't think I do
I want others to know I don't fit in, and it's challenging to be true to oneself.
'Cause it's harder to be true than to just be you
Being genuine is harder than conforming to societal expectations.
I've gotten lost before I've even begun
I feel lost and overwhelmed before even starting a creative endeavor.
Sifting through sonic ideas for the one
I search for a unique and enjoyable musical idea.
That feels new, inventive and fun
I want my work to be innovative yet personally familiar.
But still sounds like something that I would've done
I strive for creativity that aligns with my artistic identity.
Like I like alliteration 'cause it's fun
I appreciate alliteration but struggle to make it sound natural.
But I can't seem to make it sound any less dumb
I find it challenging to use alliteration without sounding forced.
I've run out of lyrics to write
I feel creatively exhausted and unable to generate new lyrics.
And I'm losing more traction with each shallow line
My artistic output is becoming superficial, losing depth.
My quips are quickly creating qualms in my quixotic life
My attempts at wit are causing problems in my idealistic life.
Minor keys haunt me in my sleep but sometimes
Minor keys in music represent haunting thoughts in my subconscious during sleep.
The best feelings scare me
Intense emotions, although positive, can be frightening.
Minor keys haunt me in my sleep but sometimes
Reiteration of the idea that positive feelings can be scary.
To keep your time you've gotta be scared awake
To manage time effectively, one must confront and overcome fears.
Minor keys haunt me in my sleep but sometimes
Reiteration of the idea that positive feelings can be scary.
The best feelings scare me
Positive emotions can be intimidating but are essential for personal growth.
Minor keys haunt me in my sleep but sometimes
Reiteration of the idea that positive feelings can be scary.
To keep your time you've gotta be scared awake
To effectively use one's time, confronting and embracing fears is necessary.
