FAWM: "Stay Afloat (Help me/.... . .-.. .--.)"

Stay Afloat (Help me/.... . .-.. .--.)

1 week ago by @zu_blus

Liner Notes

I used the morse code for "help me" as the base rythym (.... . .-.. .--.) looped it and came up with this strumming pattern on my out of tune ukulele.
Then came the lyrics that I wrote in August which were waiting for a melody.

Lyrics

No other option if I wanted to stay alive
I self-diagnosed at 25

Life is brutal when it’s underlined with hope
And you’re only try ing to stay afloat

Stay afloat
Stay afloat

On top of that everything feels like a test
How I do on my way to a success (be successful)

For a while I threw on a disguise (No one noticed I put on disguise)
It was easier than trying to improvise

Everything is just a game
Which part you play, what face you pull, what move you make

It got so bad I lost my mind
Recovery looked better on paper than it does right now

Hi Zu, this is much better than my Morse code! Almost made me like ukulele... almost. ;) But I like your songs.

Nice take on the morse code challenge.
It's a bitter cry for help that hits me hard. You did great, a song to be proud of. It's certainly not easy to catch this emotion in a song.
