Obvious (Original song)

https://www.mixcloud.com/mr_octopus/obvious


Lyrics:

I've been thinking about you

When are you gonna leave me too?

Or should that be obvious?

I've got nothing to run to

When are you gonna leave me too?

Or should that be obvious?


I'm floating in a fishbowl

Floundering weak and lazily

Plastic castle turning green

And every day I'm wishful that I'll escape

And find the sea

That you swim in so bravely


Needing to believe

Finding out I'm on my own

Pouring out of me

All these tears of mine


I don't know who to talk to

All of it starts to sound the same

A little too obvious

I keep trying to push through

Scrubbing and scrubbing at the stain

But still it's so obvious


I'm floating in a fishbowl

Hurtling through the galaxy

With the dust and space debris

You're shrinking in the background

Getting too small for me to see

Moving on and feeling free


Needing to believe

Finding out I'm on my own

Pouring out of me

All these tears of mine


Needing to believe

Finding out I'm on my own

Pouring out of me

All these tears of mine


Needing to believe

Finding out I'm on my own

Pouring out of me

All these tears of mine

  • Good track! Wonderful voice, there's places where it feels a bit overridden by the accompaniment which is a shame.

    I like how you use Obvious more subtly in the lyric.

    I've edited your link, as it was going to the Mixcloud main page before.

    Cool track! Catchy blend of strong vocals, music, lyrics, mix, and a modern sound. Nice work.

    Cheers,

    Really good, comes together well. Love your voice. [Plastic castle turning green] I really like that line, even though I'm not sure what it means ?

    [I'm floating in a fishbowl, hurtling through the galaxy

    With the dust and space debris ] liked that.

    Well produced

  • First impression..what a great voice. Some really nice lyrics too which have already been mentioned. Yeah, a modern production and really well done. I'm no expert on the genre so I can't say too much, but it sounds great to me. I'd say it's very commercial.

    I like your voice. I really like the song's various metaphors. Esp. the Plastic castle turning green!

    A couple of vocal rhythm things were the only distraction for me.

    I really like your style. This was a great way share something obviously personal in an accessible way.
