"Overthinking" // Song exploring depression, loss, love, and life

in hiphop •  6 years ago 

This is a song I wrote the other night while I couldn't sleep. It's just about all those times we overthink things and then cause more worry, depression, sadness, etc. then we even had in the first place.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Lyrics

I'm making sparks but I need a fire
I'm spitting bars but they seek a choir
I'm up so far, but I'm climbing higher
Man, it's so damn hard walking on this wire
I see the signs, but they keep me lost (yea)
I change my mind with every single thought (yea)
There's so much time but I'm at a loss (yea)
Now I've designed my own fucking cross (yea)
And now the light's no longer burdensome
But this thing called life, I'm in search of some
Will I keep my heart until this circus done?
Or will I bow in darkness when the curtains come?

I hear the secrets coming from my cage
The walls speak it in the bleakest way
My eyes cry when I see the day
I want to see it, but I see decay
I wanna lead but I wanna hide
I wanna leave when I just arrived
I wanna see life beyond my eyes
I wanna become someone alive
I want belief but there's only pride
I don't believe who is by my side
Cuz some deceive, they only lie
Now that leaves me to wonder why?

How you manged to keep the bars rhyming and colliding so nicely is really the most creative part of the song. The chorus is lit as well, amazing instrumentals too, an awesome one here James

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

@jamesgetsit wow !!!! very good lyrics.

Nice! 😀 Did you also made the instrumentals of the song?

No no, just the lyrics
