Thank you both for the kind words. Yes, this is one of my more “powerful” songs with a strong message. Hope you all had a great weekend!
Carrying on to the next song:
Song Name: Distractions (From the Darkness to the Light… And Vice Versa)
I’ve done my own “researching” through the soul, the mental state and such. “I been searching for an answer, always just out of reach”, but overtime, I came to decipher more and more about life. How the human being is deeply conditioned in Society. Anything you’ve taken upon to be your individual truth or ideology has been brought up by another human. I mean when you think deep down to the point of everything, “why” are we the way we are? Why do we do the things we do? Who chooses whats “hot and not” in society? Why must the human aim to be popular, when their own self-love should be suffice to them? One must learn to accept the flaws of oneself, we are all perfect in our own unique way, but must learn to love our flaws, as they make us who we are.
“Distractions” being a song that questions what we do, and how its an illusion of happiness, how pain pushed us to the point of working to reach that happiness. Almost everything in life is temporary and it must be enjoyed. This being one of my favorites off of my last mixtape. But I’ll cease the talk and let you guys listen!

Lyrics:
Mindless distractions
Take our time in overwhelming fractions
Like a sweet tooth, it’s a temporary satisfaction
Happiness in gloom
Which one would assume
Was the direct gift of leaving the womb
It’s like we try to cover
The wounds, but then discover
That we are bound to be the deepest lover
Of misery and captivity
That the flourishing negativity
Pushes us towards productivity
That this placebo
Is our very own gazebo
Until it collapses because of the ego
Are we ever really meant
To be content?
To what extent
Do we push to accomplish our wishes?
Only to find out that we’re doing dirty dishes
And at one point we’ll be sleeping with the fishes
Each and every smile
Only last for a while
It has been so, even before we were juvenile
We always have to do something to soothe the pain
But that something is temporary, a short gain
Whether it be a needle to the vein
Indulging yourself with work
The very idea of love is a perk
Putting all your time and energy on your artwork
Striving for your dream
How about scoring that winning goal for your team?
Or binge eating ice cream?
Yeah, choose your theme
But like steam
It’s temporary and goes away
Come one, come all, and let’s be part of this play!
Let’s keep at it, without further delay
They’re just mindless distractions
That takes our time in overwhelming fractions
Like a sweet tooth, it’s a temporary satisfaction
