My Nights With My Nights

Skirmish: my nights with ___ (@fairplay)

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

well it is really night for me writing this

Lyrics

My nights with my nights with only myself
Are what keep me awake as I lose all else
I’ll be here till I wake, till I drift away
If you wish you’d be here you would not wish to stay

My nights with my nights filled with complaining
It’s quite restraining, though I blame myself
If I weren’t dreaming I’d be someone else
And I’d have to rethink the things that made sense

My nights with my nights that I keep in a list
Each more surprising than I could wish
If we party all night then what fills the day?
If the nap was alright will the rest be okay?

Cool title and hook. I like the line "if I weren't dreaming I'd be someone else." Good skirmish.

The lyric feels like it stacks on itself. Like late night anxiety.

Lots of interesting lines that evoke a feeling of insomnia born out of a lot of emotion welling up from the days. Interesting concept.

I like that nights with my nights cadence as the start of each stanza … it is really effective. And I agree with Val on the power of that line she notes. Wonderful skirmish response.

"If you wish you’d be here you would not wish to stay" That is such a striking line. It has a lot of weight. There's really lots to unpack in this lyric. It's quite intriguing.

...yep - we've just passed midnight and with the day ending this Skirmish also ends...

...this works as a poem too - hope you'll find the time to put a melody under or over it - i'd be curious - nicely done...
