about
This is the main track I'm still proud of after all this time! I still think it's a little rough, but it helped figure out some of the things I wanted to focus on.
I am admittedly stupidly proud of the "Panel de Pon de Floor" line.
lyrics
Wake up, got a song in your head
A few simple notes, combination embeds
Go to work instead, ignore it through the day
Jerks tell you what to do, bring you down on the way.
Get tired, Get back feeling drained,
But the melody's catching, sticking in your brain
Distracting, swayed electronically
Oh hey, there's a meme of a kitty!
And it builds and it builds and it builds and it builds
You feel the will, pulling in for the kill,
Throw off the covers, run up the stairs
Stare at the screen til your eyes are red with air
This could be it, what you dream
But it's never as perfect as you're picturing
Picking at the surface, the magic never shows
More a Ninja Turtle than a Michelangelo.
You stand agape at the size of the Mountain
Surmounting columns seems to line in thousands
You'll never make it, measures lacking
You can feel the pressure piling, stacking,
Then it hits, that link in your chains
Breaking swiftly, you feel a sudden change
Patterns clicks, clear, luminescent
This is your chance, now make it all connect!
CHORUS
Treat life like a match three game
Fleeting with a purpose more than the fame
Invite your fear hear a newfound flow
Make your worries disappear straight to the back row!
No matter what just do your best
Time's falling too fast to wallow in distress
This is not a test, are you scared you'll flop?
Are you really waiting for that Magical Drop?
Stop! Jump, aim a little higher
Work into the Leagues, become a Puzzle Fighter!
Always working for that Clear Bonus
Don't despair in seemingly slowness!
Onus, don't be Bejeweled by their progress!
They did the same as you, gotta keep focus!
Keep bustling if you wanna Bust a Move
That groove is your heart, man, you know what to do!
Much in life seeems everyone is versus,
Bickering drama, leaving you wordless
Game link time sink, grab another quarter
Purses snatched, blame the other fodder
You Think life is some sort of free to play?
Recharges drained, social media fadeaway
Ignore the stress ,the strain on your day
It all means nothing if the homie won't play
Juggling candles, they can't handle
Setting fires, bridges and scandals
Product placement, community dangers
Rap so whack, Money Idol Exchangers,
In their flaunting, they squader
Left wondering, Panel de Pon de
Floor, so confused, these loons
Like a Game Gear theme made a Game Boy tune
As you stare on as the words fly,
You wonder why you even wanna try
Just Rise above and leave the hive
You can fly higher than they can thrive!
They don't understand, you can be you,
Construe your worth, just do what you want to do
It's a long way to the top of the spire
So get building before the combo expires
CHORUS REPEATS
Tetris Attack, addict, can't relax,
Fast the blocks rise, piling up in neat stacks
you have the knack to keep them tame.
Neo with a need, rearrange, color matching
If you do that, you'll escape these woods
Warios can do nothing you've bombed his goods
It's your avalanche, now make the screen roll
Show this world why you've worked and toiled!
Treat life like a match three game
Fleeting with a purpose more than the fame
Gotta take the stakes, make it electric
Show off your skills with a Hatris Trick
No matter your level, everything is frantic
Time is spinning too fast, plan it like Hexic.
This is not a test, just perfect your dream
Even when you're hit in the Mean Bean Machine
New routine! Jump, aim a little higher
Work into the Leagues, become a Puzzle Fighter!
Everyone's looking for that quick Clear Bonus
While the ones working despair, seemingly slowness!
Onus, don't be Bejeweled by their progress!
They did the same as you, gotta keep focus!
Keep bustling if you wanna Bust a Move
That groove is your heart, you know what to do!
