🎵 The Self // by Sloth (UK)

1 ContributorThe Self Lyrics [Verse 1] Uh, I guess it's too complex to simplify But, I really hope you liked to see me try Trying to encapsulate everything on the fly Trying to discover the self before I die That's just life, uh A journey to find yourself and it takes time, uh But, still I'm trying to speedrun this shit with vibes But is a sound the same as knowing who you are? Is being unique enough to see yourself as a star? I've gone too far, fuck Is the media I consume a part of me, I don't fucking know Cause I can't fucking separate it apart from me, yeah, I can't let go I grew up consuming content but I'm still not fully content To think about my future so I'm augmenting the torment How we deal with pain is nonsensical Cause emotions aren't all logical But, they're all still facts when we've lost it all When the whole world goes to shit Still these fucked up brains won't quit Everyone's got something wrong in there And we need to focus in, yeah [Verse 2] Yeah, maybe the scope too large, uh Maybe I shouldn't take charge of Finding myself alone but, still, everything is from the heart Showed some scars, shit that always sticks around That eternal self doubt that make me wanna kick and shout Bitch, I'm out, uh I'm done trying to make shit solely to get it out I don't want recognition or clout I just need to find my own fucking sound Give myself something to be proud of Shit, I can always turn it louder Hope my opinion doesn't sour Can't hide music like a coward And I know after exams I had some plans, music that bangs Constant free time but thoughts in the back Were trying to keep my life going off track Get through my list of music, one discography at a time I should finally 100% Tears of the Kingdom, maybe, then, I'll feel fine I could watch whole filmographies Try to teach myself to learn the keys Or chase all my most far-fetched ideas Possibilities are endless But, of course life isn't just restless But I still wanna make every single occasion momentous [Verse 3] I think I've covered every aspect Just depends who you ask next What elements define the self Too many so I fucking simplify to help You got emotions, I told you stories of my most vulnerable I cry very little so I just need to find something real The soul is something I don't know how to control Is it real and if so, when we die, where does it go? There's knowledge, I wanna keep it growing But there's only so much that one person can stomach You got money, wealth and your possessions But time's the only currency that really teach you lessons and it lessens every second Uh, finally, gotta keep care of your body Time waits no for no body, so keep track before you're shoddy You got family, friends and relations The last thing you want is to disappoint your foundations every occasion
