「ENTER -Intermezzo-」 TRACK 2 TW: GUNSHOT SOUND hello again sgt!! im so excited to be competing again especially cs i made it all the way to the finals last time ^^ if you don't know me, im thea, im a singer, songwriter, rapper and producer! i want to make it clear this should be judged on the rap and production too since those are also talents im trying to show with this also, i drew the art in the thumbnail too but it's not one of the talents i want to be judged on this may be the most vulnerable song ive written to date, its about my experience in the spop community, how these moments we have together are going to slip by us faster than we realize, and how i worry i've already doomed myself to fail in the real music industry. as always, the inst is included for anyone who wants to cover this ^___^ LYRICS meaning explanation: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1388031944/ In time, I’ll face my old mistakes And blow this world away A long-lost night with a blank white wall And a long-gone guide saying “paint your world” Though I’d best think twice when I praise that girl Hey, at least she was making her mark Another late night, as the painting blinks And I think, what’s life past the scheme of things? Shall I eat my words till I’m bleeding ink? ‘Cause there’s more that’s never-ending than art I promise I can be anything you’re hoping and praying I’ll be While stressing ‘cause tomorrow’s what I’m relishing, jealous of me? Identity unweathered but is tethered to teenage dreams Time is of the essence, crying At what point do I drop the meaning of life and run? And I don’t know where, but to somewhere fun Where I can hide from the sun ‘cause I’m a free man who lives pretending As the space’ll narrow, for myself I’m fending I’ll be damned if my world is ending Falling ‘till I’m drawing a blank instead of art Where’s the reason why that the end won’t justify For these childish faults and crimes to my name No potential is worth amending Every lie and failure of mine (Ten elevenths gone) No one dares to stray off the track Right outta the gate, fated to finish last Ideas block the compass ‘till you’re saying less An empty shell’s a man of perfect success That ain’t a piece of art, girl, it’s just vanilla It ain’t sweet or tart, just smack in the middle Aesthetics get y’all your fifteen minutes But if you’re keeping the crown, that commitment’s vicious Should I put these fears to bed? While y’all waste away, I’ll be painting the town red Daring to color outside the lines And in due time, you’ll never turn your backs Feeling so ecstatic and applause just keeps it rolling Don’t you know I’m so iconic, baby, everyone is folding But at what point will I drop the part for a part-time job? If that’s what the script called for all along? To wrap it up with the songs, oh I'm a free man who lives pretending As the space’ll narrow, for myself I’m fending I’ll be damned if my world is ending Falling ‘till I’m drawing a blank instead of art Soon, I’ll be on my own, taking the less-traveled road Am I just naive for thinking I can, but I hope I’ll look back, and deep down know My efforts weren’t in vain if they failed “I’ve never seen a kid so hungry” Yeah, ain’t the wind tonight so lovely? Playing it safe, I’ll not try to set the scene That kid sure as hell ain’t me, I don’t dare Studios are where everyone, the pessimists and triers Sketch out their delusions, both the major and the minor There’s the reason why that the end won’t justify For the safety-blaming lies I regret Studios are where everyone forgets their second home I’m a hostage, I’m not pretending I walk around with signs that say “the world is ending” Under pressure but not breaking, bending I’ll sure cherish my last eleventh of blank wall Where’s the reason why that the end won’t justify For these childish faults and crimes to my name My mind ain’t made up, that’s in the future I could live in blissful ignorance Live in this cruel vigilance Give ‘till I’m legitimate too CREDITS ⬚ everything is by me >__< (voice, inst, thumb, mix) ⬚ credit to fine im fine by chonny jash, ebb & flow from splatoon 2 and red by mori calliope for inspiring this ⬚ key/bpm: E minor, 175
