about

most artists have released a song or an album about the pandemic, so i guess now it's my turn.

i started writing this in april 2020, abandoned it, then picked it up again + turned it into a duet for an assignment back in october 2020, then decided i wanted to do a solo version...so here's that :p

these times are scary-- wear a mask, keep your distance, wash your hands, and take care of yourself. we're still all in this together. and if you're trapped with your thoughts too, know that i'm with you. <3

lyrics

i'm gettin' real bored
of cryin' on my floor
i'm stuck inside with my thoughts
and i don't want 'em anymore

don't know what to do, there's nowhere i can go
and i can't see anyone i know
there's only one feeling in my brain
and it won't go away

[chorus:]
oh my god, i'm so alone
can't do anything, i'm stuck at home
i'm trapped with my thoughts again
all thanks to isolation
every day feels the same
don't know how long i can live this way
i'm trapped with my thoughts again
all thanks to isolation

just wanna be free, just wanna breathe
all the earth surrounding me
but i gotta stay indoors
without knowing how long for

i don't feel safe inside my mind
i wish that i could go outside
everyday's a waiting game
until real life is safe

but i'm lonely
i wish someone were with me
isolated in the city
i don't wanna be lonely
i wish someone were with me
isolated in the city
alone, i'm alone

[chorus]

but it's best to stay inside
wait this out to save some lives
someday life will be safe again
for now i'll stay isolated.
