*It had been a hard few months for me, all these songs have helped me in some way, I was jobless for a while and couldn’t afford to leave the house and that wasn’t doing wonders for my mental state, all I had was a ukulele and a guitar and a bed even our internet was cut off. That’s when I wrote this, was so down on myself and felt like the world was against me, until I put everything in perspective. I realised I was incredibly lucky with what I had and the people I have around and that there are incredibly unfortunate people out there and here I am complaining about something that they probably don’t know exists.*
Lyrics:
I’ve been throwing all my thoughts from my bed to my floor from my floor to my bed to the wall
and I don’t think about that much so when I do it feels like a lot and I’m too broke to even step outside. So I’ll stay home and write sad songs or go out and blow all my cash, either way I will end up depressed, cause I don’t want to be a part of the great Australian dream, the moment that we’re born we’ve had a set regime.
I don’t wanna work and then buy, consume and then we all die, doesn’t seem like an ideal dream of mine
If extremists keep on killing ignorant fucks will keep on spreading racial hate to those with the same colour skin, millions dying from poverty and not to mention the HIV but I just lost my high speed broadband connection
