So you know… This song is on repeat right now getting me through my shift

Tabloid by ILENE. Out 10.24.23 on all platforms.

Lyrics:

Never in life felt more unwanted -
As your eyes scan the bar above my head…

Never in life felt more one sided
And so - I’m hanging by your thread 

Playing possum, left me for dead 
Tabloid gossip I never read

Let it blossom
Or leave
Instead
My eyes
Open
I’m not 
Impressed

Know the routine 
Waste my beauty 
Let you make a mess

Know the routine 
Film a movie
That I can’t direct 

(…)

Take out a loan and don’t touch my savings -
Always doing what don’t make sense !

I’m all alone and I’m no one’s baby -
I guess, that’s the price you pay for this !

Stupid,
Naieve
He don’t
Love me
And if 
He does
He won’t 
Tell me 
Take off -
Because,
It’s comforting 

Playing possum
Left me 
for dead !
Tabloid gossip
I never read


Let it blossom
Or leave
Instead!

I was dating a guy who was really into himself a few months ago and while we were at the bar, he was so focused on looking at everyone else there that I felt invisible. It made my skin crawl. That night, feeling a little disgusted and unimpressed, and realizing I was wasting my youth on a guy in his 40s who just wanted me for my beauty and the looks he’d get when he was out in public with me, I went home, turned my mic on and recorded this at home in one session. 

Stay tuned for more autobiographical songs. Haha!
