Lyrics:
Trying to find the snarky snarky come back
Long after the wicked wicked moment has passed
Stop overthinking now

What would it be like if the world were to end
No point wondering I should be resting instead
But brain's whipping up a plan, we'll save the planet
And I let it slide, who needs to sleep anyway 
No, i'm gonna close my eyes
Wait, We're all gonna DIIIIIE

Chorus
Dear brain I love your quirks and that you're cunning and quick
But I don't think you can be quiet just for a bit
You drive me crazy when you work overtime
Please quit spinning around


You should really do meditation they said
So here I am trying to focus on my exhales
But suddenly I can't seem to breathe properly
The only thought in my mind is "What is wrong with me"
Be here and now and stay
Will I scare them away

Chorus

Sometimes I wonder if I have memories
Or just pure knowledge of what happened to me
I often imagine what i'll tell a friend
About  moments I end up living in my head
Intellectualize everything
Why don't you let me feel

So far I have been too afraid to let go
Coping mechanism, I fantasize tomorrow
But I am ready to finally lose control
Free my emotions, brain you don't have the main role
I won't live in my mind no more
Brain you're not in charge anymore

Lyrics further down

***
In 2020, I spent New Year's Eve in quarantine, all alone. It may sound sad but this is a happy song. It's a song about struggling with staying home alone when I know people are partying, even though I actually need and want a night in, about getting over my FOMO (Fear of missing out), learning to enjoy my own company, and having a hell of a good time doing whatever I wanted last year on the one night where people all gather and party til after midnight cause that's what you do. It's a song about self love and self care.

If you have FOMO, had FOMO in the past, or know someone who struggle with these feelings, share the love!

And a Happy New Year!

***** LYRICS*****

Tonight I'm taking myself on a date
But no firework this time I'm just staying home
I'll make sure to keep my FOMO at bay
Have a good time on my own

Nobody will judge if I go to bed
By 11 because that is just who I am
Tomorrow I don't need the hangover
When I wish happy new year

--Interlude--
I'm wearing my best pyjamas tonight
And I will kiss the dog at midnight

--Chorus--
It's New Year's Eve and I'm spending it alone
No more parties spent surfing on my phone
Staying in getting out of my comfort zone
Oh oh oh first New Year's Eve alone

On the menu only my favorite food
Then I'll move on to reading if I'm in the mood
Or I could just watch Harry Potter 5
For the millionth time

I am going to spend the whole evening
Having a real blast doing my favorite things
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching
Sing like no one's hearing

Nobody's watching
No one 's hearing

--Interlude--
I'm wearing my best pyjamas tonight
And I will kiss the dog at midnight

--Chorus--
It's New Year's Eve and I'm spending it alone
No more parties spent surfing on my phone
Staying in getting out of my comfort zone
Oh oh oh first New Year's Eve alone

2020 was a hell of a ride
When life out there was still so much happened with mine
I gave a chance to old dreams that I thought
I wasn't good enough for

This year I learnt to be heard to be seen
Not care for those who hate what they hear what they see
The one thing you should ever rely on
Is self validation

Who cares who's watching
Who cares who's hearing

--Interlude--
I'm wearing my best pyjamas tonight
And I will kiss the dog at midnight

--Chorus--
It's New Year's Eve and I'm spending it alone
No more parties spent surfing on my phone
Staying in getting out of my comfort zone
Oh oh oh first New Year's Eve alone
New Year's Eve alone

Emmanuelle D. - New Year's Eve Alone (video version)

Mix by Zenkrey

Lyrics:

A brother who teases as they do
No, it hurts not
A mother who fear the pain in you
Kid you feel lots
A child afraid to hear the words
I love you not
Who learns that feeling’s wrong
Tones down so she belongs

Chorus 1
I thought emotions were flaws (don’t let them see)
I locked them behind walls (and lost the key)
Does that make me the girl who cannot love
Am I that girl who cannot love

Every time a guy enters her life
She screws it up
She really wants it to work out
But it’s not enough
It’s like the child in her is dead
The shield is up
She can’t let no one in
Not with estranged feelings

Chorus 2
I thought emotions were flaws (don’t let them see)
I locked them behind walls (and lost the key)
Bits of soul trapped inside, do they just die
Does that make me the girl who cannot love
Am I that girl who cannot love
(That girl
Who cannot love)

She’s learned to talk about scars
From the past
She’s let a few friends see her cry
They got her back
She’s getting used to hear the words
You’re not alone
The inner child’s come home
Now she can lose control

Chorus 3
I thought emotions were flaws
Now I let them see
I locked them behind walls
But I’ll find the key
Bits of soul trapped inside, Do they just die
Does that make me the girl who cannot love
I hope I’m not the girl
I hope I’m not the girl who cannot love
I am the girl who wanna love

emmanue!le - Be Like Hermione

It's a song about being comfortable with one's own company, including when everyone else is celebrating, and a little bit about daring to sing in public this year and to release my first ever recorded song.
