Drowning is about as close to emo as Sunset Sky has ever been. If you are in a bad place right now, please do not listen.
Drowning sat in limbo for quite a while. Didn’t know what to do with it. When lyrics came, i just couldn’t finish it. It felt dark. Real, but dark.
It’s an interesting place to be as someone who doesn’t make music for a living. Artists are expected to share emotions as raw as possible. Many do not have to consider how work acquaintances might view it. I’m constantly torn between my professional life and creating music. What can I say. I think about it and really wish I didn’t.
I’v had instances where folks assumed I was writing about them specifically. That’s never the case. Although artists all know we base our art on observations, it’s usually a composite of a lot of different feelings, events, visuals, etc., not just one thing. If that makes sense, great. You are an artist.
I hope you enjoy Drowning. I had a hard time making it, and again, if you are having a hard time right now, best to leave it alone.
Drowning Lyrics
edging towards the water
step by step begin to see
undercurrent always beckoning
does it never seem to leave
bleak secrets of night whisper
fill your pockets full of sand
as you feel cold arms around you
as the darkness holds your hand
oh god im drowning
oh god i’m hurting
so numb and hear the calling
been fighting demons for so long
there’s nothing here but desperation
why does sinking not feel wrong
oh god im drowning
oh god i’m hurting
do you hear the calling
from sea to darkened sea
does anything really matter
does it matter at all to me
wait
what about the times we’ve had
what about the things we’ve shared
summer nights in our backyard
how in hell we got to here
oh the things that you have seen
wont you share them all with me
running desert skies in sun
that’s another day to see
