.✦ ݁˖ INTRO .✦ ݁˖ Hey y'all!! If you don't know me, my (nick)name is Elle!!! I'm just some random 14 year old girl you found online who likes to post original songs, albums/eps, and covers XD what are the chances?? you're the luckiest person alive rn!!! :D .✦ ݁˖ SONG BACKSTORY!!! .✦ ݁˖ this is about how life is going waaaaaaaay too FAST. Like, one second I'm 12 years old, and I blink and I'm already 14, and IM GOING TO HIGH SCHOOOOLLLLLL AHHHHHHHHH so yeah :D song .✦ ݁˖ THE DATE .✦ ݁˖ I wrote the song on ~MARCH 13, 2026~ and ~MARCH 14, 2026~ .✦ ݁˖ FUN FACT(S)!! .✦ ݁˖ 1. the first part of this song I wrote was the outro, which was mostly improvised (the last 2 lines weren't). And this song came from improvisation or whatever the word is for that. :D 2. for the bridge, imagine you're on a plane at the window seat, looking at the clouds on a nice day, going to someone super fun while it feels like life is slowing down, even the slightest bit. that's the scene i had in my mind while writing those lyrics XD 3. can anyone figure out what i mean in the lyrics of the intro, and outro?? (mainly the outro) .✦ ݁˖ LYRICS .✦ ݁˖ [intro] The way a song goes In to the intro is a slight crescendo and smth like "a tempo", and for this intro we'll keep it low and keep the volume a piano [v1] first thing you know is nothing then you know how to eat and sleep running on a meadow playfully you're laughing, carefree. the sun is golden, setting then you wind up in school there's homework, people not so cool rushing to class not so soon you're crying, burdened, and there's no moon [pc-1] how'd it happen? It's just like magic We from this, to that in a second [c1] and now there is a train i'm tryna catch and it's going too fast and i dunno if im ready yet, ive jumped from track to track against my will, i may be ill but now there is a plane that's zippin' by and I can't fly, cuz if i tried, then i would d!3, I dunno about life inside my head, there's many paths to tread [v2] then life speeds up a bit no time to catch your breath jobs, responsibilities fall on you you turn into someone you never knew [pc-2] How'd it happen? It's just so tragic We went from joy to sad in a second [c2] and now there is a train i'm tryna catch and it's going too fast and i dunno if im ready yet, ive jumped from track to track almost got caught, it happens a lot but now there is a plane that's zippin' by and I can't fly, cuz if i tried, then i would d!3, I dunno about life inside my heart, i dunno where to start [b] then life, it may slow down as you look down from the clouds for a moment you can appreciate the past might feel bittersweet as you look back [final c] and now there is a train i'm tryna catch and it's going too fast and i dunno if im ready yet, ive jumped from track to track against my will, i may be ill but now there is a plane that's zippin' by and I can't fly, cuz if i tried, then i would d!3, I dunno about life inside my head, there's many paths to tread i wanna go back to when things just weren't too FAST [post-c] too FAST, too FAST, it's going too FAST, too FAST [outro] the way a song goes out to the outro is a decrescendo, and a ritardando, and i suppose that's how life will go it'll be fast, and slow fast, and slow
