---------------- 🎭NOTE🎭 ---------------- I love it when a song just grows away from your original idea, especially when you don't even know when and how it happened. But hey, that's how a stripped back piano cabaret song turned into.. this. Eh, I think this one feels more emotionally vulnerable anyway, weirdly enough. I did come up with that blurry image of a shabby entertainer fairly early on, and wrote the lyrics around that. Had no idea what to do with the video until recently, though, and a few Kling credits went down the drain, but oh well, I think the final version is about as haunting as I'm willing to invest in. Hope y'all get something out of it in any case <3 Oh, and I just added a new playlist on my profile with all my remixable tracks, if you want to go nuts with some of my older songs. <3 ----------------- 🎩LYRICS🎩 ----------------- ladies and gentlemen, look away... every time i exhale, feels like a performance to me, a world-wide audience, spotting confidence, that doesn't come to me naturally, every time, I, (look around me), all I see, are future frowns, if I don't keep the performance up, i'll let all of you down. look away, look away, from what i do and what i say, it's just the limelight, I hope to step out of, someday. everytime i take a bow, i dread having to do it again, your applause is a saw blade, and my ears are the main event, the light in my eyes, and the creaking of the boards, yeah after the sight of my lies, why haven't you applauded me before? i miss myself, (i miss myself) i think i miss myself, so much, look away, look away, from what i do and what i say, it's just the limelight, I hope to step out of, someday! every time i tell a joke, i feel like the punchline, is, me, my wack-job style, the tacked on smile, beneath it all i just long to be free, i miss myself! (i miss myself!) i might miss myself, the most! i miss myself! (i miss myself!) i might miss myself, the most! i dream of running alone in the dark, stomping around in an infinite puddle by myself, with none of your faces blending and morphing, just me listening to the stories I'm telling, all alone to see, my rise and fall, only my applause at the curtain call, look away, look away!! from what i do and what i say!! it's just the limelight!! I hope to step out of, some, day!!!! i miss myself! (i miss myself!) i might miss myself, the most! look away, look away!! from what i do and what i say!! it's just the limelight!! I hope to step out of, some, day!!!!
