about

This song is about the modern struggles of trying to be taken seriously as an artist, in a time where everyone with a social media account thinks they are a talent worth watching and pursuing. And the people who spend thousands of hours developing a real talent and/or sets of skills being so overlooked... The mental anguish they are constantly facing watching such garbage gain massive popularity, further degrading the very fabric of society.

lyrics

We give up until we won't even try
We fall down until we can't even rise
It makes no sense
Settle down for the artists' display
They will play and they won't get paid
It makes no sense
They'll set fire until they're too damp to blaze
Make their way through the smoke and the haze
It makes no sense
You don't know it but

They make everything look perfect
Even if it's not worth it
Save me the time and beat yourself up
You'll make it out alive with any luck

We give up until we won't even try
We fall down until we can't even rise
It makes no sense
Settle down for the artists' display
They will play and they will get played
It makes no sense
They'll set fire until they're too damp to blaze
Make their way through the smoke and the haze
It makes no sense
You don't know it but

They make everything look perfect
Even if it's not worth it
Save me the time and beat yourself up
You'll make it out alive with any luck
You didn't know, but you owe me big
I got you out of the hole that you're about to dig

We give up until we won't even try
Live our lives until we can't even
