The Convergence

Some explicit language here, but I feel it fits the spirit of the track.
THE CONVERGENCE
Welcome to another day
I really couldn’t wait to say
That someone is always standing
right in front of me
At the store when I try to pay
There are bodies in my way
Filthy bodies in my way
Filthy animals in my way
CHORUS
The convergence of humanity
Forming right in front of
Always where I’m trying to be
The Convergence is killing ME
Some asshole forgot his butter
I just wanna buy some eggs
He’s on the telephone with his mother
And she’s got so much to say
Anywhere else but here
In the supermarket line
Is the place I need to be
But I’m stuck here wasting time
“Look at this guy…
Where did he come from…
I swear to God…
Everywhere I go…
If I’da been five seconds earlier…
Unbelievable,...
What a shitshow”
The convergence of humanity
Forming right in front of
Always where I’m trying to be
The Convergence is killing ME
Frustrations deep and wide
Finally made it back to my ride
Imagine my fucking surprise
There’s a backup on the 95
Jacknife up ahead
Cars are burning but no one’s dead (too bad)
“My ice cream’s gonna melt”
It’s the only thought in my head
The convergence of humanity
Forming right in front of
Always where I’m trying to be
The Convergence is killing ME
Random or pre-ordained
Are the obstacles just our chains
Is someone pulling the strings
To keep themselves entertained
Do they laugh at our pain
Throwing things in our way
Stumbling through the days
Do we ever really have a say?

I can relate to the lyrics for sure. Musically I think this this would work well live. As a recording it actually comes over as a bit tame..it needs to sound a bit more angry to my ears. It has a punk element to it so it needs a bit more of a snarl if you know what I mean. The 'explicit language'..well I'm not sure that it's actually necessary to get the story over, but that's just me. I enjoyed this..I'll have another listen later tonight after a couple of beers!!😀

It certainly has attitude! A fed up, irate, frustrated attitude - so exactly what you were after!
I think that chorus is strong. And I like the outro. :)
You might try upping the drums in the mix. Could add some punch?

That's tame to Rap on shit -show
Probably better keep it light like you have , angry would be obvious
Nice job

Another cool rocker, Pete! Great production and guitar work. Amusing lyrics, too,, that many can relate to! Sometimes out there, I definitely wish I could go 'Star Trek', cloak my SUV, and launch quantum torpedos from stealth mode to all deserving targets. LOL!!! 🤣😂
Cheers,
Joseph
