Red (2002) by Dirk Diamond published on 2023-02-26T22:57:07Z If not feeling particularly terrific, maybe something like this may help you to feel a little less alone in those moments. It's really just about some of those thoughts we sometimes, or always, struggle to let go of. A reflection on self-fulfilling prophecies, in some respects, too much focus on the negative, and similar treasures! I wrote this when I was 22, 21 years ago. Adjusted the lyrics a little bit, but only a tiny bit (extra verse too), but was still quite surprised by them ahead of the tweak, and also sad to find myself relating to these lyrics nearly 22 years later. Production wise, regards mastering, I like this in my headphones, but don't like it so much played through my speakers. Needs a tweak at least. Lyrics You don’t know what it’s like for me Always trapped inside my head I'm not even old but I’m dead Don’t know how I survive going to bed Quick little fixes from time to time Mean nothing to my mind, my soul I’m not even old but I’m dead So far away in my head Can’t keep giving my life away Fallin’ to pieces day by day It’s in my blood It’s in my blood It’s in my blood Everything I’ve touched Everything I’ve Loved It all get’s dead It all get’s painted red Every time I try to hide, something Get’s me trapped inside my head Can’t seem to be heard like I’m dead I feel like I’m cold, inside my bed Everything I seem to like flips a Switch inside my mind love comes To take my breath, I feel dead The things I have hang by a thread Can’t keep giving my life away Falling to pieces day by day It’s in my blood It’s in my blood It’s in my blood Everything gets cursed Everything I love It all get’s red It’s in my blood It’s in my blood It’s in my blood Everything I’ve touched Everything I’ve Loved It all get’s dead It all get’s painted red Genre Pop Comment by StevieJ pretty dark man but the music compliments the lyric perfectly. 2023-04-25T15:27:08Z Comment by Richard John A strong melody and nicely performed - fine song writing! 2023-03-19T18:15:32Z Comment by Nadine de Macedo Wow, you're been in quite an emo phase! At least lyrically. The sparse arrangement sounds good. Listening to it with my monitor speakers and I don't hear any mixing mistakes. 2023-03-18T18:30:09Z Comment by Enogoo Very kindness song 2023-03-02T10:25:46Z Comment by MASTERING TRUE MUSIC PRODUCTIONS Nice song!Great quality! 2023-02-28T13:16:53Z Comment by Rob Terstall Excellent song Nathan, I think with a full band it 'd even be better... 2023-02-28T00:49:35Z Comment by JoeLiberty Beautiful :) 2023-02-27T20:58:02Z Comment by Chris Lane Sr. Here is when I hear some kettle drums building and providing power and low energy. And perhaps some cymbal crashes 2023-02-27T17:46:52Z Comment by Gabriel A very beautiful song this is! 2023-02-27T16:16:35Z Comment by folkpunk productions Very nice vocal build in the chorus! 2023-02-27T12:58:29Z Comment by PJ Project Great song 2023-02-27T10:47:47Z
