FAWM: "Run"

Run

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

How often personality masks are noticed that bring about revelation.

I envision this lyric sung with an underplayed, chasing tune alongside a haunting cadence of confidant lyrical expression and music. Upon writing it, I heard a female singer triumphing through a velvety-like delivery among placed drum beat, keys, bass, and synth. If you hear this write of mine differently in any way, go for it, collab! I'm interested to see what another fawmer can come up with here!

Lyrics

[V]
Big on emotions
And short on care
How you get your share
Of love

[Ch]
Frosty two-time
Snake pit divine
The one in their place
Such a sorrowful race, you run

[V]
Tail like a rattler
Teeth like a wolf
Wooly and soft charm
Like in a children's book

[Br]
False smile
A deaf ear
Hoity-toity, insincere

[V]
Back in force
Behind the cloud you shine
Your phony prime
Keeping before the line, of me

[Ch]
Frosty two-time
Snake pit divine
The one in their place
Such a sorrowful race, you run

[O]
Over and over
Your history repeats
Self defeat, complete

Chris, I so enjoyed working on this lyric and felt (to my ear) that’s it’s depth was so cleverly placed within a beautiful sound of simplicity. I feel very honoured and pleased that you asked this of me and it really made me want to rise to the challenge. This has been a fantastic and special experience for my FAWM this year. Thank you

Hey, planning to work on this over this weekend and hopefully come up with something!

@sycophant 2w

Some really great lyrical work here. Especially like the chorus.. “frosty two-time. Snake pit devine” is a great rhyming couplet… agree this would be very cool with a female-sounding voice. Keep up the great work!

Hey @chris_buono this is great! Really sharp lyrics and can definitely hear a cheeky, jazzy treatment to this! If you’re happy for me to give it a go I can see what I can come up with? Let me know and thanks so much for the lovely comments on my song.
