Nothing by myself
Nothing nothing else
Nothing I can hide
Cruising story tell
Bike lane up and down
Lofty flower cry
Okay, I heard this song a while back but for the past few months, the lyrics in it slapped me in the face. So beautiful. Kuma Overdose studied jazz, as evident in this chune. This song sounds like a perfect Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Hypemachine, Blog cocktail. One of the songs you find digging through articles and your crush's playlists. This song is off the album, Lofty, which has a lot of Asian influences blended in with modern day hip hop. One to add to your collection for sure, but this song takes the cake for me. It is *chefs kiss*
You help me lose my mind
And you bring me something I can't define
Help me lose my mind, make me wonder
What I felt before
Keep biding my time
How much longer?
Who've I been waiting for?
How much longer?
This is easily one of the best songs I ever heard.
Teachers taught us money was the motive (Money was the motive)
I said, "Fuck that bitch," I’m floatin' (Floatin')
Off a tab, rah, I’m Coastin' (Coastin')
And I didn’t take half, I took the whole thing
Escaping
The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
Took their minds, so they don’t dare to dream
(They don’t dare to dream)
Took their voice, so they don’t dare to scream
(They don’t dare to scream)
Don’t think they know what it really means
(Don’t know what it means)
Busy filling buckets that are bottomless it seems
The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
This is PERFECT indie, and it's NEW. When was the last time you heard a track that made you feel like this?! Been a while for me. This easily transported me to the Lo Pub, or Ozzy's/The Zoo. I heard this song while I was writing and dropped everything to have a solo dancing party in my room. Devastated by 2020, letting all of it go with a good ol' indie dance jump off. The lyrics are ridiculously well done, the beat is phenomenal, what's there not to love?! Play this at full volume, and enjoy the dancing. Absolute BEAUTY!
BTW, when I say indie dance jump off, I mean this, don't let me down:
I know you've been here so long you're really starting to get down
So much you wanted to hide yourself from being found
Crouch down on the desert floor if you're as plastered to the ground
You're used to being all by yourself and safe and sound
I know you've heard it before but soon the sun is gonna rise
You thought you were gonna die before blood orange skies
So sick of moving your body to a well polished life
Well, I got something to move ya
Holding on, to what's gone
Glance at the horizon, you're in your
Vermillion, vermillion, vermillion, vermillion
Bathe on your back, the scarlet washes away scars
And lets your darkness disappear beneath the stars
Follow the hollow inside you, deciding who you are
The sky is nearing vermillion, with nod to fire
Holding on, to what's gone
Glance at the horizon
You're in your
Vermillion, vermillion, vermillion, vermillion
Holding on, to what's gone
Glance at the horizon, you're in your
Vermillion, vermillion, vermillion, vermillion
Why is it so hard to accept the party is over?
You came with your new friends
And her mom jeans and her new Vans
And she's perfect and I hate it, oh so glad you made it
I'm so glad you could come by
Somebody get the tacos, somebody spark the blunt
Let's start the Narcos off at episode one
Bring the gin, got the juice, bring the sin, got that too
Whoa, just shut up know you're my favorite
Right, my little pooh bear, wanna take a chance?
Wanna sip this smooth air, kick it in the sand
I'd say I told you so but you just gonna cry
You just wanna know those peanut butter vibes
My, my simple sir, this ain't gonna work
Mind my wicked words and tipsy topsy slurs
I can't take this place,no I can't take this place
I just wanna go where I can get some space
Another lonely little trophy
If only I could walk a straight line, I'd make it home free
And everybody in this bar thinks they know me
And my story like "poor me" (yea, pour me another homie)
I can count the days 'til you come back
Or I can follow them sunrays down to the traintracks
I can stumble drunk over hope and love
Or I could keep drinking until I sober up
We live in a generation of not being in love, and not being together
But we sure make it feel like we're together
Because we're scared to see each other with somebody else
I am adding this song to my personal, "When you should be sleeping but can't stop exploring music" playlist. Fuckin' vibes, man.
Don't fuck with me, don't fuck with me
Since you shipped my ass off to sea
I never knew where I was goin'
I went where the water was flowin'
I know I've been gone a long time, but
I'm back and I want what is mine
I know i've been gone a long time, but
I'm back and I want what is mine
The ship was the love of my life
We went down together one night
I surfaced in every shadow
For years I just kissed her goodnight
But I'm gone
Gone to a place you never been
.. Let's fuck around and sin
All my life, where have you been?
It's really you who I want but I'm fucking your friend
Babe, I'mma tell you again
You are the one that I need inside of me
Baby come ride with me
You the only one that can vibe with me
