Jet Lag

Liner Notes

THE FIRST VERSE IS QUITE LOUD VOCALLY IM SORRY LOL

This is linearly the first song in the album, the idea is that at the end of the album it can loop back to the first song and restart the "journey" of the album

This album is about "addictions" and i refer to the "highs" literally so the title "Jet Lag" is about me lagging while i was high... this song specifically is talking about my inabilty to do the things i need to to better myself and me realising why people around me are fading away (because of my habits) but i dont want to specifically make it about "drugs/addictions" so its about my trip down to queenstown (which is what made me to jump the gun on being sober)

This albums storyline isnt all sad (hopefully lol we will see) but rather my journey to soberness ( 4 Days sober so far!!!!) so hopefully as the album progresses we see some lighter motifs and ideas being thrown around other than me being a failure because of my addictions

Lyrics

I woke up late today
I tell my self "no, Its okay'
its not like im tempting fate
debating if its even worth the stay
an i have a million things to do
but i rather stay dreaming of you
and i dont know quite what id say
but i know when i see you ill change my ways

I'm Jet lagged, Jet lagged wouldnt you say

i did die on that fatal day
im a reflection thats taken his place
and though we share the same face
my soul is locked up in outer space

im jet lagged, jet lagged wouldnt you say

i plan to leave in a couple days
have no tickets but i have my ways
sell my belongings to get down the straight
i guess thats my way?

do i go left where theres nothing right
or do i go right where theres nothing left
everytime i send one of my texts
i feel like im inching closer to my death

jet lagged jet lagged wouldnt you say

Very cool song! Without the back story I wouldn't have had a clue what the song is about, but it makes so much sense once you know. Love the mellow mood and the bass line is particularly cool! I think there's room for additional production, but as FAWM is about songwriting you can already label this a success.
I wish you all the best and all the strength for your recovery! Hold tight, you got this!
