Sea of Mistakes

Sea of Mistakes

 

This is a song about a girl who's made many, many, many mistakes in her life; it's a rap song that features banjo and cat.

The lyrics are:

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

A bird on her shoulder told her about the stupid things she's done

She's fumbled, and stumbled, and bumbled, and tumbled

Down and down and down and down to the bottom of the sea of mistakes

Her mind's burning and churning: It's a stern thing, now that she's learning

She should have turned left, but she turned right

She feels stupid now that she's seen the light

She's beating up on herself with all her might

No matter what she does, she can't make it right

Her life is the bones from the shipwreck; she feels all alone; no hands are on deck

There's nothing that she can do but say, "oh, heck"

And the bird on her shoulder gives her a peck

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

She moved when she should have stayed put

She tripped over her own stupid foot

She went to the wrong damn school

And now she feels like an old old fool

The bottom of the sea of mistakes

Is littered with bones of men she's dated

People might say it is just fate

But she knows that she picks the wrong mates

Her life is a Choose Your Own Adventure book, I must say

And it is clear that she is always going the wrong way

Turn to page 300 for the wrong turn that you just took

It's happened way too many times for it to be a fluke

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

And you may wonder if there is buried treasure underneath

The shipwreck, but it is just a stupid, dumb funeral wreath

For a life that never was what she wanted - that's because

She keeps on making mistakes, and she'll die until she breaks

Do not go fishing in this land

You might end up with something not grand

You might reel in the bones of mistakes and

You should have left them buried in the sand

If they get on your fishing hook

Just throw them away, and never look...

...Back - it is the bones of wrong turns that she took 

Her bad decisions were earthquakes that shook

I'm drowning

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

Through My Parents' Eyes

Through My Parents' Eyes

This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. There's nothing like seeing the fucked upness of your own life through someone else's eyes (in this case, it's through the narrator's parents' eyes). When you see someone else seeing how fucked up your life is, it's harder to stay in denial about the fucked upness of said life. 

The lyrics are:

I saw him through my parents' eyes

There was something freaky - sinister and creepy

I saw him through my parents' eyes

Something's wrong with this man - he no longer looks grand

I don't think he's right in the head

I have new perspective - I should be selective

In my childhood bedroom, I got extra headroom

I used to be happy - now I'm feeling crappy

Why did I grow up to being ever stuck to

A man who's not right in the head?

See, being at the house where I grew up

Gave me perspective - I almost threw up

This man is so scary, and he does not care for me

And I cannot marry him out of some charity

I used to be a happy, carefree kid

Now I am sad, and I have to get rid

Of the man who makes me so unhappy

Being here makes me realize how much he is crappy

I saw him through my parents' eyes - yes I did, yes I did

It's hard to be in denial with a smile

When I'm seeing this guy, looking through my parents' eyes

It's a Miracle

It's a Miracle

It's a Miracle beefed up

 

This is a song about how I caught covid and stuff. It's my first time ever. There's a play on words cuz I'm playing around with "corona" virus and the sun's "corona" and all that. I'll insert the other little player thing maybe tomorrow or something. Yeah. Yeah, try to imagine it with a low pitched voiced man's voice singing it, cuz that's how I imagine it and stuff. The beefed up mix is a little more punchy, vocals-wise.

Okay I added the little player thingy:

I Wanna Get Stoned

 

I Wanna Get Stoned Until I'm Silly

 This is a song about wanting to get stoned. I think that's what I might just do.

Just Plain Stealing

 This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. Apparently, the girl breaks up with the guy. But, stay tuned...it ain't over yet!

The lyrics are:

It's still beating, it's still beating
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing

I wish I could keep you, dude-man
But things are not looking too grand
And my heart tells me now

I wish we could have made it work
Because you are not a big jerk
But it don't work somehow

It's still beating, it's still beating
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing

You are a good guy, and I wish I could stay
But my heart sez this won't fly - I have to go away
I hope you don't think that this is personal
It's just that this relationship's cursed and all

I wish that I could stay, but I have to go
Cuz my heart says no way, the answer is, "no"
My heart's breaking, and it's aching, I don't know why, and I cry
But I have to go to somewhere, where you're not
This ain't the twist I wanted in this plot

You're not too bad
But my heart's telling me
And it is sad
But this ain't meant to be

It's still beating, it's still beating
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing
I want to keep your heart, but it's just plain stealing

Sand Got Into My Eyes

Sand Got Into My Eyes

 Here's a little ditty I cranked out after I got done working on the weekend. I'm never gonna work on the weekend again for as long as I live, so Help Me God and Jesus and all that. That song was supposed to be a cool thing and all metaphorical and stuff, where sand getting in one's eyes and makin' them water was a metaphor for emotional problems and stuff that make you cry and sometimes blind you to reality as it really is. But, alas, I was too tired time crunched to make this song into something that cool. Bleh.

Just Plain Stealin' Introduction

 

Just Plain Stealing Intro

Here's the introduction to the next song in the fucked up relationship album. 

They Are Not Happy For Us

They Are Not Happy For Us

 This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. Me and the boyfriend-from-Hell announce to my parents we're engaged. They're not particularly happy about it.

The lyrics are:

They are not happy for us

It was not a note of congratulations they looked real spooked
And I could tell my parents weren't thrilled that I'm marrying this kook
And I guess I shouldn't be too surprised becaue he got mean right
In front of them, you see, he yelled at me and caused a big scene; why.....

Did he do that? Did he do that?

My parents aren't happy; my parents aren't happy

I think they saw me being afraid
Of this guy I thought was my soul mate
And they saw him being a little mean
To me; maybe, they think he is a fiend
My boyfriend is a little scary
My parents think he doesn't care for me
They might be right about that because he
Is not nice to me - they can plainly see

They are not happy for us 

All Day Long Panic Attack

 

All Day Long Panic Attack

 That was the kind of day I had - a day of all day long panic and all that. It was a day on the tail end of a week of not sleeping, so my voice is crap, and I had to pretend to be a male country western singer to squeak out the vocals. This song might have potential...I might re-record it one day, when my voice is better. 

The lyrics are:

I'm having an all day long panic attack
I cannot think of words; my thoughts fly off like birds
I'm having an all day long panic attack
My head's flying away; calmness is what I crave

I don't know if I'll get through this thing
My ears buzz like bees and they sting

Wildness is what I crave
Every single Goddamn day

And I'm ever losing my grip on reality
I'm taking a trip into Nightmare Yucky Bad City

I'm having an all day long panic attack
I think, I must confess, I am feeling stressed
By the way, I'm a mess - today's not the best
I'm having an all day long panic attack
I think I am concerned, and my feelings burn
My day took a bad turn, and my stomach churns

I don't think I'll get through this thing
My thoughts stab like needles that sting

Wildness is what I crave 

Every single blessed day

And I'm ever losing my grip on reality
And I'm ever losing my grip on reality

We Are Telling Them

We Are Telling Them We're Engaged

 Here's the next song in the fucked up relationship album. Me and the mean boyfriend are fixin' to tell my parents we're engaged.

The lyrics are:

And we will tell them we're engaged

We are telling them
We are telling them
We are telling them
We are telling them

We're engaged and
We are telling that we are very much engaged, yes we are

For us
For us

For us

For us

I have a bad feeling
That they will be reeling
When we tell them the news
It will give them the blues
I see it already; they look real spooked
They think my boyfriend is a real kook
They might be right about that, maybe
Cuz he is frightening; he might have rabies
I don't know what I was thinking
I'm on a ship that is sinking

And we will tell them we're engaged

In the Light of the Moon

 

In the Light of the Moon

 This song is about how I have the weird belief that everything in nature has a song - every tree has a song, every stone has a song, every animal has a song, everything has a song. And if we listen carefully, we might just hear those songs. And if I do, indeed, hear the songs of the trees, and I sing and play what I hear, I'll be like the moon reflecting the light of the sun (the songs of the trees are the sunlight).

The lyrics are:

Spirits are sending me music from all around
They're in the air, and I am singing on the ground
And I think I will hoot like a big, hairy owl
Music will make me toot, and I will start to howl

In the light of the moon
The light light light of the moon

Spirits of nature sing, but we are unaware
Yes, we've forgotten them, cuz we don't seem to care
If you listen, the music will come in dreams
Alighting like a feather on singing moon beams
I was listening at night, and I heard the trees
Their music, flying like kites, brought me to my knees
If I listen closely, their messages will abound

Their music, Heavenly, is rooted in the ground

In the light of the moon
The light light light of the moon

If I get a chance to hear the tree songs, I gotta be the moon
Reflecting back the light of their music, the light of the trees will be here soon

Spirits of the trees sing like they're the sun
And I am the moon, singing just for fun

In the light of the moon
The light light light of the moon

 The other one stopped working. This is noise you can use to tune out the sound of screaming kids (especially if you use noise cancelling earbuds with it).
