The Doomed and Stoned Show - Big, Bad Best Of '22 (S9E1)

"I’m not proud of what I do to get to sleep."

Small Million's latest bop is not about your fun night out but about stumbling home afterwards relentlessly churning on everything you overshared.
The Overkill is for people who cringe back on everything they’ve said at a party to see if they were obnoxious, messy, hurt someone’s feelings, or disclosed too much of themselves. It’s about the ways we can seek connection through vulnerability (on a night out, posting online, or in song lyrics), and grappling with the regrets of confessing too much and losing control.

“This might be my favorite bridge we’ve ever written.” -Malachi

LYRICS:
You’ve been waitin on a someone and a situation, so you could finally be the perfect you.
But if they appeared, what would change, what would you do?
If you keep on waitin on that perfect little situation, you’ll be waitin’ till you’re in the tomb.
The time is right now and the right person is you.

Its eaten you before but now you’re swallowing that fear.
And that’s how I know this is your year.

You loved your family with such dedication, even when they turned their backs on you.
Your heart planted seeds those suckers grew.

You’ve been thru hell and now you have nothing left to fear.
And that's how I know this is your year.

The hottest fire’s the one with the most bullshit to burn.
Took so long to get your act together, now its finally your turn.
You got out the way, they followed the lead.
You watched from above that human stampede.
It broke your heart but got you here.

And that's how I know this is your year.

Life is Long
