High Tides

 b l e h

trying to decide whether this is darker than 'beauty is pain'. i mean, it's about the same thing, but different perspectives. this one is mine. i have the literal prequel written back in april 2021, in which 'beauty is pain' references to. ofcourse, the prequel shall remain private forever. 1) songwriting isn't as advanced 2) no. just no.

writing this and the previous song tamed me down. i feel so safe writing songs, even if they're dark like this one </3

1ST VERSE:

high tides have come and swept me off again

this time around, is it finally the end?

high tides only chamber me to hell

this time around, will i drown?

PRE-CHORUS:

at a price so cheap

and a risk so real

do i dive right into the deal

and sign a contract with hell?

CHORUS:

i've been there before

but do i want to live it again?

maybe i'm just afraid

too poor in judgement to pay

well, whatever's the case

either way i'm drowning right into temporary misery

and tied down to the high tides

POST-CHORUS:

it's a valid choice to make

is that sunken someone fake?

just like last time, will my potential dollop into a waste

will there be another chance waiting at the top??

2ND VERSE:

i tried and died at least twenty times

do you really want to know why?

they said i wasn't in a right state of mind

they said i wouldn't make it out alive

if i didn't dare pick up the phone and call for help

but how could i? i'd hang right up anyways

they said buying a ticket to hell was wrong

they said that it wouldn't end well

i know, i know, ofcourse i do

left on voicemail and i never hit send

am i dead yet?

PRE-CHORUS:

at a price so cheap

and a risk so real

do i dive right into the deal

and sign a contract with hell?

CHORUS:

i've been there before

but do i want to live it again?

maybe i'm just afraid

too poor in judgement to pay

well, whatever's the case

either way i'm drowning right into temporary misery

and tied down to the high tides

POST-CHORUS:

it's a valid choice to make

is that sunken someone fake?

just like last time, will my potential dollop into a waste

will there be another chance waiting at the top??

3RD VERSE:

another gasp for air, yes i'm here

but only to live in fear

it's not real, it's not real

why did i decide to seal the fucking deal?

i want out, i said I WANT OUT

fuck off and leave me alone

BRIDGE:

i think i've entered the wrong tsunami

too close, i overflowed

it all swirls, watch it wash and flush

they warned me to watch my step

yet i fell right into the depths

ain't that funny?

i mean, i'm not even laughing

is it okay not to be okay?

i don't want to be controlled by someone else

i should've never sold myself out that day

guess i'll meet you in hell

as my bones break and my state of mind fully rotates

i see no blood stains, what about you?

what a day, what a day

one way or the other i'm dead

aren't i?

OUTRO:

these high tides aren't the life

these high tides aren't my life

oh, no no, not at all
