Oliver New - Critical by Oliver New published on 2020-11-06T13:57:47Z 'Critical' is a written representation of my anxiety which I've been struggling with lately. The lyrics switch between my inner voice and critical voice which makes me feel like I'm not enough. Although the topic of the song is quite dark, the music is uplifting and positive, creating an experience for the listener of overcoming darkness through a positive medium. The outro singalong is remedial, based on the realisation that all I do is desecrate my time rather than enjoy my purpose - living. Lyrics: I sow my seeds in a garden Blinded by the field of green, landed in another dream Try to make great things happen Try to make a passion gleam, all that I'm imagining I'm not sure if I'll see the harvest Is it for a greater good, the best stories were the ones that could so Let my passion burn through I'll have another navigating journey in my peace Maybe I need to see another place in the world What of all the stories of the diamonds and pearls Lest they say forever, we won't utter a word I am on a mission leave my soul undeterred Suddenly sat in a dark room Bound by the hands and feet Something standing next to me You're not where you said you'd be Fantasising and flying too free, on a tangent Your realitys a mystery And targets so unforgiving If you wanna take a short breath Why wouldn't you take more of what's left So defeated Let me try another take, it's where the best stories are made Suddenly sat on my own Dissecting every piece of my whole As I fall away Reintroduce it, everyday How've I let it make a home Placating every part of my soul Always try to ward fear away The worst enemy was myself after all If I wanna get by, gotta find purpose in my life No more desecrating my time Need a memorable life If I wanna get by, gotta find purpose in my life No more desecrating my time Need a memorable life If I wanna get by, gotta find purpose in my life No more desecrating my time Need a memorable life If I wanna get by, gotta find purpose in my life No more desecrating my time Genre Pop
