フロクロ (Frog96) ft. 重音テト - ことばのおばけがまどからみている

Nothing more needs to be said. This was from my songwriting class.
The ultimate clickbait, until you realize it wasn't.

not a good song

Ever set out to do something, and then that thing leads to another thing, which leads to another thing, and then another, and then another...

until finally you realize you don't care enough to get back to what you set out to do?

Anyway now that the description probably doesn't show up on mobile anymore
Happy new year everyone (30 days late), I'm really happy with how 2022 went for me even though it had it's negatives as well, I feel like 
I've made a ton of musical progress this year and improved my understanding of it, still got a LONG way to go but, I'm very glad for the progress. Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout the year, I will keep trying my best for all the people who enjoy my music, and in the hope that I can meet even more cool producers and musicians like I did this year!!
If I had to mention any goals for 2023 it would probably be the fact I want to release a lot more music this year, since despite spending a lot of time working on music last year I still didn't release a lot, so I would like to show off what I learned more. I also would like to be stuck up in my own things less and pay attention to others more, especially when it comes to music.
Anyway enough emotional talk for probably the entire year.
The song, it's very heavily inspired by Tsynphonia, a lot of songs I've heard from him over the months, but mainly "Spiralling out of control" (thus why the title), So the goal was to make a similar song to that but with a slightly different theme, something that would still replicate the spirally feel, and that would still sound like a fever dream, like having it go round and round, and at the same time also expressing how i feel.
I don't tell him this often but I find a lot of the things that Tsynphonia makes super inspiring, like he just has this ability to express an idea in a very unique but straight forward, and I really do admire that, so I had to at least make one song that would be heavily inspired by his works, as a sort of homage.
I had a lot of fun making this overall, this was my first time finding out the pedal is a thing you can automate on piano libraries (shameful after 3 years of music i know), but once i did find out it felt really nice, like it added a whole new layer of expression to what could be done with the song, which also makes me wish I figured it out earlier but better late than never surely.
Had a lot of fun with 0:37 onwards especially, it has a very back and forth feeling to it, and also happens to be the part of the song that I really planned out super meticulously, unlike the rest of the track that was mostly trial and error, and trying absolutely random things that shouldn't really make a lot of sense, but that ended up working anyways? But the fact it's (somewhat) random adds to the spiral feel I believe, which works out in the end.
For the cover I thought this would fit quite well (for obvious reasons (she has spirals in her eyes(she is clearly lost in thought(but not in a fire emblem kind of way))), and as my friend said, "the most astolsko image".
And I chose the theme of non stopping racing thoughts to let you all on in my twisted dark mind, my deranged vision of reality, my absolutely hidden perspective (the thoughts won't stop(please help)).
Anyway
I hope everyone enjoys this song as much as I enjoyed working on it, and I promise I will release more music this year (so I can also get the opportunity to ramble in the song description once in a while)!!!!!!!

Spiralling Thoughts (Out Of Control)

Clock Tower Waltz

I regret making this. It's not what I intended my music to be used for.

This is a reminder for my future self, to never make this mistake ever again.

There he finds a letter, she is long gone. Yet now her dream shines more vibrant than ever before. This is the result, the result of her actions, and her last words:

Thank you for everything.

Lyrics:
Open the curtains
Lights on
Don’t miss a moment
Of this experiment
Oh, the book is strange
Like clockwork orange
Keep your eyes buttered till the end

Which “you” are you going to be?
Hmm
Inside the mirror do you see
Someone else in that body?

Dance for me
One
And two
And three
And turn around
Sit like a doggy
Till I finish my read

Cut it off, cut down your loss
All that stubborn loyalty is gonna get you killed
In a world built on convenient theories
For the puppets on TV
There is comfort in the strings
If you’re gonna control me
At least make it interesting theatrically

How does it feel to be free?
Hmm
Why don’t you try it yourself?
The gate opened on me
So I leaped

Down, down, and down I go
I tell myself I’m a tough girl
Down, down, and down I go
I could never, ever, ever touch the soil

My heart goes right
My head goes left
And end up on your bed
Huh

Sure I’ll be your marionette
Here, tug on my thread
Spread me open for dolly pink, snow white artificial beauty
Maybe we’re all cold machines
Stuffed in the human skin
With human sins
Sewed up by the gods of city

Cut it out, you’ve already lost
All that precious bravery is gonna get you hurt
In a world that feeds on the minority
May that self-centered belief lead you to peace
If you’re gonna replace me
At least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly

When does it end for me?
Hmm
I think I am done with everything
Now I’m ready to leave

Dragging out
One line
Two lines
Three lines
Connect our hands
When I no longer can live on knowledge alone

You gave me strength
Hopeful curiosity
Maybe there are still happy answers left for my discovery
What’s the colour of the electric sheep you see?
And if you love me
Can you love your everything too, for me?
