Lyrics

If it was only down to a sense of timing,
I still believe I could see,
All the things the future might hold,
For the likes of you and me.

We've always been dreamers, romantics at heart,
You know I still love you, though we're lifetimes apart,
I miss you, I'd kiss you, I'd do anything,
To make my broken heart sing.

How many days, have passed since we met?
I only have good thoughts, I got rid of regret.
I'm laughing', I'm dancing', I'm playing' the fool,
And I strut as I try to act cool.

But it's all for show, as I take every blow,
You know I refuse to break down.
I'll have a go, and let everyone know,
I ain't nobody's clown.

How many days, have passed since we met?
I only have good thoughts, I got rid of regret.
I'm laughing', I'm dancing', I'm playing' the fool,
And I strut as I try to act cool.

The world keeps on spinning, the seasons still change,
But nothing quite feels right, it's all re-arranged.
I walk through the crowd with a smile on my face,
But deep in my chest, there's a hollowed-out space.

Still, I get up each morning and give it my best,
Put my faith in the rhythm and hope for the rest.
If love leaves a scar, then I wear it with pride,
You're the ghost in my song, and the fire inside.

Description
How Many Days is the brand new single from The DC Sound Project.
It's a dark, moody and emotionally charged track that questions time, resilience, and the struggle of carrying heavy thoughts day after day. With raw lyrics and an atmospheric indie rock sound, this song captures the feeling of searching for answers in a restless world.

HOW MANY DAYS

Lyrics

Tell all the voices, 
That are swimming in your head.
"They are not real' she cried,
They worked you till your fingers bled.
Go tell Aunt Polly,
What a good little boy you've been.
You want to be a rock star,
But you're somewhere in between. 

Yeah . . . Here comes a breakdown, 
Yeah . . . Another shakedown. 
Yeah . . . Who wears the fake crown?

Tell me when your ready,
I ain't got the time to spare. 
I am heading for the country, 
As I know somebody there.
Who will feed me, who will clothe me?
Who will tell me things are fine.
While that old green worm,
Eats its way into my mind. 

Yeah . . . Another breakdown, 
Yeah . . . Another shakedown, 
Yeah . . . Who wears the fake crown?

You lost your sense of humour, 
Somewhere back along the way.
You used to find it funny,
Till you fell into decay.
Go tell all the voices,
That are swimming in your head,
That the little green worm,
Has started turning red.

🪱 Little Green Worm – The DC Sound Project
A dark, surreal journey into the human mind — where ambition, madness, and decay all intertwine.
The voices whisper lies, the dreams corrode, and somewhere deep inside… the little green worm begins to feed.

This track walks the line between reality and delusion — a cautionary tale about the price of chasing greatness, told through haunting vocals, layered guitars, and shifting moods that echo the collapse within.

LITTLE GREEN WORM

From The DC Sound Project, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL is a fast-rock gut-punch, raw and uncompromising. Recorded live in one take, the track pulses with the frustration and fury of feeling "damned" by a love that demands constant "mental gymnastics." This is the moment of explosion where the singer realizes the only way out is to junk the whole thing: "The engine's blown, so I'm gonna junk it." Turn up this urgent, honest track and feel the rush of hitting the emergency brake.

Lyrics

Oh my, look at me try,
I swear that I'd rather die,
Than let you down,
Again and again . . .
You know I can't decide, 
If I'm blind,
To the feeling deep inside.
You've gone and thrown,
My plans in the air.

I thought that I could,
Just walk away.
Same old bullshit, 
Different day.
My . My My. My My My My.

So here I lie,
Head in hands,
Tryin' my best to understand,
I guess I fell asleep, 
At the wheel . . .
Yes I'm scared,
Time is fleeting, 
Can't you hear my heart's still beating, 
Lovin' you, makes me feel,
Like I'm damned . . .

I thought that I could,
Just walk away.
Same old bullshit, 
Different day.
My . My My. My My My My.

Hold on,
Wait a minute . . .
It's no good,
If you're heart's not in it.
Oh look, WOW!
Ain't that a surprise . . . ?
Well HELL,
Who would'a thunk it?
The engine's blown,
So I'm gonna junk it.
My mind's flipped out,
On the merry-go-round . . .

I thought that I could,
Just walk away.
Same old bullshit, 
Different day.
My . My My. My My My My.

Oh my, look at me try,
I swear that I'd rather die.
Than let you down,
Again and again . . .
Oh Well HELL!
How fantastic, 
You're performing mental gymnastics, 
And the price of freedom is,
Doin' in me in . . . 

I thought that I could,
Just walk away.
Same old bullshit, 
Different day.
My . My My. My My My My.


ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

Our latest album, 'SNAGGLETOOTH' is now available to purchase on vinyl @ https://elasticstage.com/soundcloud/releases/the-dc-sound-project-snaggletooth-album

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
