Lyrics:
Truth is
No one in their 20’s falls in love 
It’s a shit show
Well says my neighbor 
(He’s in Death From Above) 
We all know
That I am too busy
I don’t need the kissy kissy
So I say 
Hell no

Please listen to me
Cause I got more to say than Grammarly

Life sucks and I want to flee
Don’t know what I want to do really
But I
Got to get to work on time
Or I’ll get fired
And I hate it
It’s a crime

Life sucks
Life sucks

Marriage
Is just a fake-ass bogus trap
It’s really sad
Cause people change
(It’s a load of crap)
And you’re to blame
Their stink isn’t rosy
Like the first time y’all met in Boise
It’s just not the same

Please listen to me
Cause I got more to say than Grammarly
(Like duh) 

Life sucks and I want to flee
Don’t know what I want to do really
But I
Got to get to work on time
Or I’ll get fired
And I hate it
It’s a crime

Life sucks
Life sucks

You weren’t
There when I needed you the most
Called you my best friend
(What a mother fucking joke)
I’m sick of how
You treat me 
Want you gone
Could you leave by the end of this song
By the end of this song

Please listen to me
Cause I got more to say then Grammarly

Life sucks and I want to flee
Don’t know what I want to do really
But I
Got to get to work on time
Or I’ll get fired
And I hate it
It’s a crime

Life sucks
(Oh it really does)
Life sucks
(Oh baby, it really does)

Lyrics:
Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away 
Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck

You never took me to Chucky Cheese
You never said that you loved me
Without a price 
You only ever hung up the phone
And left me confused 
Crying and all alone

Should have known
I’d seen this before
But I swear this time was different
For sure

I regret making sauce with you
So I threw it out
Thats when I knew
That we were through

Just stop calling
Just stop calling
I can’t block you number but please
Just get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from me

Badly wanted to believe in you
But like they said it was too good to be true
A toast to us I’ll go grab the champagne
And drink alone out in the rain

Just stop calling
Just stop calling
I can’t block you number but please
Just get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from me

Get the F*ck Away From Me

Get The F*ck Away From Me

Lyrics:
Let me please
Hold you hand
Touch your face
Be your man

At St. Pete
I missed my chance
Will I get 
Another circumstance 

But you 
Never
Ever
Will 

Want to drown 
Into Yoo-Hoo
The rivers dry
And I’m blue

How can I 
Change your mind
Wrench me out
Make me blind 

But you
Never
Ever
Will 

Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me kiss me

At least you still
Text me late at night
Icicle slide
Then turn out the light
Sweet Dreams
and Strawberry Wine
Maybe you’ll love me
In time 

But you
Never
Ever
Will 

Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me kiss me

Am I not good enough
Am I not hot enough
Am I not tough enough
Am I not girl enough

Am I not good enough
Am I not hot enough
Am I not tough enough
I thought I was your Orange Crush

Kiss me kiss me
(Why won't you kiss me)
Kiss me kiss me
(Why won't you kiss me)
Kiss me kiss me
(Why won't you kiss me)
Kiss me kiss me
Kiss me

Kiss Me

Lyrics:
Get you home
On time time time time 
Time time time time
Get you home
On time time time time
Time time time time 

Some people say 
I’m too prude
(Who me?)
I don’t know where the line is
(Uh yeah)
But I wanna getcha home on time
And ask first if you wanna kiss
(Cause we absolutely don’t have to)
I want to respect you
And later we can have long nights
Break into pools
Skippin’ school
Let’s just talk right now
It’s not a sacrifice 

I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
Get you baby all alone
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
Get you baby all alone

Get you home
On time time time time 
Time time time time
Get you home
On time time time time
Time time time time 

Want you to see
The real me
(the real me)
I got a closet full of ripped blue jeans
Share with you all my crystals
Cast a spell on you if you know what I mean
(Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo)
I sold my record player
But I can still spin from my Spotify
(so many good playlists)
I’m definitely not a player
I like monogamy
I’m boring
I don’t know why
(oh well)

I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
Get you baby all alone
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
Get you baby all alone

Get you home
On time time time time 
Time time time time
Get you home
On time time time time
Time time time time 

Take you home
(it’s Klypi, bitch)
Take you home
(yeah - like the paper clip)
On time

I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
Get you baby all alone
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
I wanna take you home
Get you baby all alone

Get you home
On time time time time 
Time time time time
Get you home
On time time time time
Time time time time

Take You Home (On Time)

Woah woah

It’s hard to hang with the boys
They can’t handle me
They don’t understand

Lyrics:
When I go out at night
I regret I grab a pint
Take it down feel like I might
(He's looking right at you just go for it)

It's with you I'd rather be
Show you off at a party
But we're just friends
Will I ever be? 
(YOLO Screw him)

I'm more then just some funny guy
Let me show you show you why

O iii want 2 bbbb the 111 4 u
O iii want 2 bbbb the 111 4 u

I hide how I feel
Don't want to make you reel
Win big find out or it's no deal

Know you want to be alone
Talk about the other girls on the phone
As if we never kissed and you know you liked it
Really this is bogus

I want to have a home in you
Why don't you want them from me too

O iii want 2 bbbb the 111 4 u
O iii want 2 bbbb the 111 4 u

These numbers can't predict
You're the 1 that I miss 
Angels please hear my wish 
Align the stars for just 1 kiss

Just 1 kiss
Just 1 kiss
Just 1 kiss
Just 1 kiss
Just 1 kiss

Why can't you believe
What lies in Astrology 

I want to have a home in you
Why don't you want that from me too

O iii want 2 bbbb the 111 4 u
O iii want 2 bbbb the 111 4 u

These numbers can't predict
You're the 1 that I miss 
Angels please hear my wish 
Align the stars for just 1 kiss

How can I change your mind
I'm running out of time
I guess you'll never see
How much you meant to me

Lyrics:
I get so bored these days 
(I probably shouldn’t have spent the night over)
Driving down Sunset I’m dazed
(F-bleep- it I liked it, it was my birthday anyway)
Would someone please impress me
(They have a Corvette)
Someone take me to Applebee’s
Applebee’s Applebee’s Applebee's
(We matched)

Oh oh oh oh oh
I think I like you 
Like you
Cause I 
Think there is
Something to lose

Something to lose
Something to lose
Something to lose 
Something to lose

(Vroom Vroom
Beep Beep
Vroom Vroom
Weeeee)

We met on the internet
Oh so unromantic
But then we hung out IRL
And I was put under your smell
Now I don’t know how I feel
I’m just having fun with what’s real 
(Uh ha Uh ha yeah)

Oh oh oh oh oh
I think I like you 
Like you
Cause I 
Think there is
Something to lose

Something to lose
Something to lose
Something to lose 
Something to lose

Can I call it this quick
Is it unrealistic
What is love in our virtual age
I feel lost
I feel deranged 
But for one day 
One day
I feel okay
Is that okay
(Is that okay)

Oh oh oh oh oh
I think I like you 
Like you
Cause I 
Think there is
Something to lose

Something to lose
Something to lose
Something to lose 
Something to lose

Lyrics:
Hey
I gotta dumb crush on you
I gotta dumb crush on you

I just moved to town
Went out for a night
Didn’t want anything
Then you caught my eye
I couldn’t say a word
My feelings felt absurd
So I tried to ignore you
(Did you too)

I gotta dumb crush on you
And I don’t know what to do
Are these feelings even true
I gotta dumb crush on you

I gotta dumb crush on you
And I don’t know what to do
Are these feelings even true
I gotta dumb crush on you

Can I be your friend
So I can see you again
Maybe then I could ask you out
We could bond over more then No Doubt

In the crowd when we locked eyes
So stupid I was paralyzed
Now you are far away
Regret not saying 
(Hey)

I gotta dumb crush on you
And I don’t know what to do
Are these feelings even true
I gotta dumb crush on you

I gotta dumb crush on you
And I don’t know what to do
Are these feelings even true
I gotta dumb crush on you

Sometimes I think less of me
Don’t deserve someone lovely
I anticipate they’ll hurt me
It’s been my history

Now you are far away

I gotta dumb crush on you
And I don’t know what to do
Are these feelings even true
I gotta dumb crush on you

I gotta dumb crush on you
And I don’t know what to do
Are these feelings even true
I gotta dumb crush on you

Lyrics:
When I met you I didn’t think
Straight from my dreams sparkling 
But in a flash of light you changed
It took time to feel the same

Watching you not loving me
I felt sick with agony
Only kind when you find I’m leaving
But that’s not what I’m hinting

I need you to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye 
Goodbye
Oh oh how I’ve tried
To say goodbye
Goodbye

A cold night when you gave me hell
Silent stoic nature fell
For once I stood for myself
I don’t regret hitting you

But now I’m the one to blame
Even though I carry the shame
Sad to say we are the same
God I was a fool for you

I need you to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye 
Goodbye
Oh oh how I’ve tried
To say goodbye
Goodbye

What’s the point
Of celebrating
When it’s always a party of one
I’m tired of
Being alone
This shits no fun

But now I’d rather be
Oh oh so lonely
Would you please tell me

I need you to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye 
Goodbye
Oh oh how I’ve tried
To say goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye

Today, unfortunately, American citizens against their better judgment, voted to elect Trump as our president. Further, this event, insultingly, took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day—a day meant to honor a man who championed equality and justice for black Americans. To see the rise of Trump, flanked by his band of crony tech-bros—Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk—on such a day feels like a cruel mockery of the progress Dr. King fought for. 

Together, this American oligarchy promotes a reality where hate speech masquerades as "free speech" and the myth of meritocracy props up cis-straight-white-males and affluent individuals (including women indoctrinated to uphold this narrative) above everyone else. Have you watched Star Wars? Have you read “A Handmaids Tail”? They parade this so-called "golden age" while leading our democracy into decay. 

In this unsettling time, I felt compelled to revisit the song "Everything Counts" by Depeche Mode. This pop song is a critique of global capitalism and highlights the terrors of a system that prioritizes profit and power over humanity.

“Confidence taken in / By a suntan and a grin.”

When Depeche Mode wrote this lyric, they were describing a businessman on vacation—a man who, let’s be real, doesn’t truly have to work. He can travel the world — relax on the beach. Today, this image eerily mirrors the embodiment of Trump and his ilk.

“The grabbing hands grab all they can / All for themselves, after all.

It’s a competitive world”

(but only for those without the wealth to pay their way to the top).

“Everything counts in large amounts.”

These "large amounts" could represent our social capital or the hard-earned money drained from everyday Americans by the billionaire class—an illness in our democracy. These financially privilieged individuals should pay the same taxes as everyone else, yet they hoard wealth at the expense of society.

As Klypi, a persona I embody, I want to channel the hypocrisy I witness and confront the evils plaguing our reality. Through this character, I hope to amplify a voice of resistance and rally those who dream of a more egalitarian, open-minded, and accepting world.

Through fiction, through play, and through my love of art, I plan to do this.
