This is the 3rd original song that DeeP. and I worked on together. I really appreciate his experimental yet accessible dark and soulful production work. I like how his music allows me to touch on topics that I normally wouldn’t write about if I were leading the music production. I have been reflecting on how it is important to stretch and grow and try new things. DeeP.’s music really helps me to achieve this goal and his mixing and mastering really brings out the best in me.

I wanted this song to fit in thematically with the other 2 songs we worked on but I felt the music wanted me to expand the range of subject matter. Therefore, I went gothic and took my cues from gothic literature, such as The Castle of Otranto and Frankenstein, and tried to channel those literary elements into a pop song. For the subject matter I was also reflecting on how psychic connections and empathy can be draining unless one develops and maintains skills to remain grounded and whole.

It is so fun to make music with musicians one admires. SoundCloud is the best place to be a fan. Both Phil McWalter and Nathalie B20 are SoundCloud legends and incredibly talented and prolific musicians who I have listened to for years now. I feel super honored to have finally gotten the chance to make music with these giants. I hope they had fun as well!!!

lyrics

I’m loosing my self
You’re sucking me out
I was having my doubts
But you casted them out
Now I’m devout without will to walkout
Somehow you got me

Every time I think a you
I get linked up with you
And then I’m tangled up in your mind
Can’t go a week with you
Before I think were through
Because I’m going straight out of my mind
Try not to let it
Don’t let it
Get to me
Your consuming all my energy
Don’t call me gothic
Though I believe I got bit
You sucked all the life outta me

How naive was I to begin with
Thin skinned and an optimist
Going all in a romanticist
Fool hearted on destiny’s myth
Still in the grips of youthful bliss
You knew I could be possessed by just one kiss
Cupid’s potion’s in spit
Oh how I wished I could take just one more sip
One more hit
All the more craved by the way you withheld it
Blood from bit lips
Lust in wet drips
Pulsating of molded hips
Through the veil of lunar eclipse
There’s a pirate on one of those passing ships

Entangled in your clutches of guilt
Such is the life anguish built
Enchanted to hear the lilt of your final
Siren song once again
There’s a little death in your bite of venom
Pandora’s box in your denim
The sting of lies that become truths if you let ‘em
Any wrongdoings you sleuth
I can never forget ‘em
Bound to my faults
Wounds ’n deep salts
Trapped in this waltz
Every step out of time
You’re makin’ sure I regret ‘em
Through the veil of lunar eclipse
You cast your net and I got caught in ’em
