From my upcoming debut EP, where thoughts go to die.
Fun fact, this is actually two tracks on the EP, ‘ennui’ and ‘overstimulated’, but since I wanted one to transition into the other, they share a project file, and therefore also stems. For simplicity’s sake I’ve uploaded the seamless version, but to be clear, ‘ennui’ is around 0:00-1:17, and the rest is ‘overstimulated’.
Labelled NSFW because I gave a single “fuck” (…I’ll let myself out).
Note regarding the BPM: There is a tempo change! Well, kind of. For the most part, this is consistently 128 BPM throughout, but at roughly 2:16-ish (in other words, the climax/outro to ‘overstimulated’), per my personal notes, “tempo climbs steadily up to 160 BPM, then drops like a cliff-jump to 70 BPM right at the end.”
I used 7-Zip to create the .zip files. It should be fine but let me know if you encounter any issues nonetheless!
Written, produced, recorded, mixed and “mastered” by me entirely in my bedroom.
Lyrics (overstimulated)
I won’t lie, I’m not fine
My sweat is too slick
Everybody talks too quick
And these lights are too bright, and you’re standing too close
And I can’t fucking breathe, I’m about to explode
And the scratching in my brain is making me insane
It’s prohibitively loud, and I’m going to shut down
If I were to break my skin when I drag my nails along
Or pull out every hair, tear it straight from the root
Do you think that I’d be spared?
Do you think I’d get relief?
I’d do anything to try
But you just sit and laugh at me
Or make a face like you think I’m a disgrace
I’m not trying to embarrass you, I just want to leave
