Making of My Music: Inside Out

Another song I wrote a few years ago while I was completing my masters degree. I was feeling a bit edgy and frustrated with things. I feel it reflects the inner battle I have, believing in my self-worth and wanting better for myself.

However, I can get trapped in anxiety and envious thoughts. It is a repetitive cycle that happens in mind, and I know it isn’t healthy. I think this comes through musically with the repetitive loop that starts in the beginning.

The chorus acknowledges that I need to let the pattern go. This feel likes another battle at times, but maybe just resting and resetting will bring some changes. I can really get in tune with myself to listen to my true inner voice. I can trust that voice and help it flow from inward to outward to bring about change. I liked how the bridge turned out with the change in percussion, a change in the rhythm.

Making a mountain out of a mole hill

Is not the way to get my pay

It’s all in my head what’s been said

Back and forth about what I am worth

It’s too much work

To see in the mirror what I fear Worry lines that say I’m fine

Feeling empty from feeling envy

Can’t appreciate with talk of hate

Oh where did it come from?

Where can I let it go?

I can’t carry it anymore

Taking a swing at all of the shit that

Breaks me down into the ground

Maybe I should rest there at the root

Just stay still and regain my will

Oh where does it come from?

Where does it go?

I only know what I know

Bridge

I know a voice tells me I’m wrong

I know a song tells me I’m strong

I know my voice can’t be calm

I know my song is the balm

I know I know I know

Where it comes from…

And where it flows

Inside out and everywhere
