WIP

Wow... entry number 52... I made it... neutral

This song is a perfect example of the ridiculousness of my cursed overthinking. I absolutely thought I would have this done much earlier in the year when I first had the basics sorted. But no, I am who I am so I kept pushing it back because it wasn't quite right and the ideas I was hearing my head sounded like more effort than I usually commit to my usual Sunday evening Weekly Beats entries.

But here we are, the final week, although my procrastination is strong, sometimes my stubbornness wins out and I was determined to not end WB2024 without getting this one out of the way. I wouldn't say it's all that I hoped it could be, there are still a few bits that I feel picky about, but at least it's out of my head.



I made a habit of dissing myself everyday,
the pain never went away cause it was never the answer,
never the answer

I think it's high time I redefine the way of my mind
Focusing on my positive characteristics,
and be realistic

Perfection is the perfect scam, all I am...

...is a work in progress, but I'm a better me than anyone
If I keep my focus, my legacy could be a better one
I'm a little broken, but I can make it if I carry on
I'm a work in progress (progress),
I gotta keep my focus

Sick of giving up before I even give it a try,
Justified with an end-a-less string of excuses
It's me that-a loses

I could turn my hurt into motivation
I could use it against my procrastination
It's taken me longer than I want to admit,
but this is it, it is time to commit

Perfection is the perfect scam, all I am...

...is a work in progress, but I'm a better me than anyone
If I keep my focus, my legacy could be a better one
I'm a little broken, but I can make it if I carry on
I'm a work in progress (progress),
I gotta keep my focus

We're a work in progress, so come on let's do this!



To wrap up WB2024, I would like to say a big thank you to those that commented on my tracks this year and apologise for my lack of interaction. I struggle with discussion around my music (crippling self-doubt, woohoo!), usually not knowing what to say, or I think I'll come back to it later but get sidetracked (yay, neurospicy (ASD/ADHD)) hmm. Aaaanyhoo, just wanted to say that it is appreciated and sorry I suck at showing it neutral

Awesome that you smashed it out! Not really a genre that I listen to much, but it sounds super pro. The lyrics are great smile

Damn this is really well done!!! Super catchy. I don't listen to much hard rock either but this got me feeling really good! You have a great voice, and the lyrics are nicely written. Would love to hear more about your process of writing lyrics! Great way to close out the year!

I do listen to some decently heavy stuff and you knocked this one out of the park - excellent vocal work, great lyrics, and the instrumentation is heavy but clean. Luvvit!!

I'm dieing g for the bass line!
