demotape, pt.1

made this in march when the days were getting hotter. 

this song is about getting lost in a relationship, second-guessing, doubting, and ultimately losing the meaning of the relationship, of love itself.

i especially love that bridge and last drop. tell me what you think about this one?

here are the lyrics:

verse 1:
I felt it in the silence,
A longing that I could not deny,
We spoke in broken moments,
I knew we couldn’t fly.
Caught between shadows,
I held onto what I deeply knew,
even then we have lost sight
of what happened in the night

Find love
Had I let you
Pull myself to you
Why did I let you
Lose myself in you
Had I let it
Be what it should be
I wouldn’t be torn away
 
The mirror shows a stranger
A version I could not escape
I felt my touch like a warning
but i dove way too fleeting deep
now the pieces are not together
what was real is hard to see
the love we almost had 
is a ghost haunting me
tried to drown all the echoes
but they find me in the mourning dark
i still feel you in the quiet, oh
like a ghost inside my heart
traced your name into the window
watched it fade into the morning light
and every roads still leads nowhere, yeah

Find love
Had I let you
Pull myself to you
Why did I let you
Lose myself in you
Had I let it
Be what it should be
I wouldn’t be torn away

We barely knew we could rise,
 aching from a jet that won’t fly.
We lost and lost the momentum,
Trying to build on what we once had.
Got caught up in the weight of it all,
 self-esteem doesn’t grow straight.
Love is something you fight for,
With endless battles just to hold on

we barely knew
we could rise
aching from a jet
that won't fly
we lost and lost
the momentum
tryna build
on what we once had
got caught up 
in the weight of it all
self-esteem doesn't grow straight
love is something you fight for
with endless battles just to hold on
if we had met in a different time
would it still be so different?
no answers left to light the way
nights are always for questions
i still reach out for what we lost
even though it fades away...

Simon Cutsem - Find Love (Demo)

ladies and gents, here's "lies"!

the "most done" demo i have

how are you feeling abt this one?

lyrics:
I could have run 
but with all of your lies
and all of your ties
I would have burned
Lost in your word
caught in your world

I saw the way you move
shadows in the night, whisperin'
my name like you meant this time
felt your touch and but it faded too fast
slipping through my hands, so fast
traced your steps, but you left no signs
those signs?
no signs  

I could have run 
but with all of your lies
and all of your ties
I would have burned
Lost in your word
caught in your world

You kept coming back
Blind to wounds that were still bleeding
Hoping for a comeback
And I'm here cancelling our wedding plan 
wondering where i should go
wondering whether i'm losing my time
i probably am but i'm always so
Drawned to save you from drowning
You always stall me from glowing 
Time and time again
Feeding me with your pain 
Darling
You always stall from glowing
It's know time all in

I could have run 
but with all of your lies
and all of your ties
I would have burned
Lost in your word
caught in your world

Simon Cutsem - Lies (Demo)

WHERE DID I GO WRONG

had a WHOOLE lot of fun of singing this one :)))

Simon Cutsem - How To Save A Life (Demo)

most recent demo. vibes are niiice just not something i would release officially.

it talks about my brain getting foggy from adrenaline any time it gets feminine attention

lyrics:

you liked my song
fell off my chair 
I hear your voice
And i keep my poise 
I hide a hole I thought you'd fill 
But every word puts me down the hill 
Care with no strings, a fantasy 
tell young me

I mistake every spark in eyes for home
like a smile could be the end of alone
give me your attention and i'll wrote you a poem
in my head you'll save me, and you don't even know

dreamed of love i didn't have to earn
feels like i'm chasing it,  it'll never return
one soft word and i'll crash and burn
playing it cool, but i'll never learn
