I've never really paid much attention to the lyrics in your songs, cause I tend to not check out lyrics but some of these lines are really touching.

This is SO good. Love the Bass VI ... need more of this.

As a fellow Bass VI player, hella approve of this!

From Strangers To Something

A song I wrote about dealing with themes of social anxiety and just superficial social doubt. Its taken me a while to get this track done as each year i did the vocals I was never pleased. Finally on the 3rd year, I'm happy enough with them.

July 2021 Update
i reworked the drums from scratch and remastered the entire song as well as developed a rhythm guitar that i think really helps push the track further.


This song explores shoegaze, dreampop, postpunk, and progressive tapping. I'm quite fond of it.

Lyrically, the song explores social anxiety, the simultaneous severity and fictitious aspect of it and explores the superficial process one can experience while trying to make friends.

The song paints me in a much more socially meek or jaded individual than i truly am. It was written during a time where it tried to "just be social" in order to make more relationships/connections with people and alot of the small talk or barriers felt very shallow. So those experiences laid the base of the lyrical concept.

Personnel: All me
Mixing and such: Also all me

Lyrics:

Hi There we’ve met
what do I possibly do next?
there’s this protocol to apparently give you control
over my mind

Hi there again
Do you even remember me?
Do I do the same? Forget your name and play this game.
In order to… go from strangers to something

I don’t know what it, is I need to do
I know what I am never supposed to
But I don’t know any other way
If I ask you, you would run away
Are you afraid of me? Like I’m afraid of you

(From strangers to something) x4

Hi there my friend
Have I said enough to call you that?
Do we move past that or go right back cease what we've got?
Where was my fault?

hi there good bye
I guess I tried

I don’t know what it, is I need to do
I know what I am never supposed to
But I don’t know any other way
If I ask you, you would run away
Are you afraid of me? Like I’m afraid of you

I’m afraid of you
Are you scared of me?
I’m afraid of everything but it’s nothing to you

But its petrifying me
and its all in my head
How can I get it out
And not blow this all away

But its everything to me
And its nothing to you

I’m afraid of you, are you scared of me
Im afraid of everything but its all in my head

I’m afraid of you, im scared for you
Im afraid of everything but its all in my head
