about

A song about nothing and was created in a time where there was no inspiration, nothing to do, and almost not enough of Zelda to keep oneself occupied - written amidst the lockdown of 2021.
Content for the sake of content and meta AF, 3:30 is the length of the song. Written in about 3hours and 30 minutes and then handed over to the boys for the finishing touches.
Bada bing bada boom!

LYRICS


And I
guess it’s what I want
But I got nothing to say
But I’m feeling the pressure
To get it there
And say it anyway

The song just makes it sound
better than it is
Coz I’m writing
‘bout nothing
And it’s really giving me
the shits
Oh yeah it is

Cop my banal content
Brain fried, at its best
Void but happy, content,
Destroy my brain
You’re just the same
Let’s go insane
We’re on a plain.

There’s nothing here
You haven’t heard before
Oooooh
Hyrule’s calling and
I’m almost getting bored
Oooooh
Erratic, desperate
Give me a new thought
Oooooh
It’s going somewhere!
It’s a..

Challenge
I’ll prove
I’ll win
Not lose
Ascend
The summit
I’ll hate it
You’ll love it
‘These walls’
Metaphoric?
That good?
I’ve got it!
I’m on a fucken roll!

Wake up
Fuck up
In my head
We’re all fucked
That’s made up
I’m stuck
I don’t got shit
Can’t. write. Blocked.

I fooled ya
Schooled ya
A loaf,
A fish?
A ‘school’ yard?
I’m ‘blah’
I suck
I don’t got shit
Can’t. write. Blocked.

No commitments
Not a record deal
But its stressing me
And pressing me
And asking ‘How just do I feel’?

And I’m
all dressed up
I got nowhere to go
And if we know
How far just will we push this show?
No one knows

Cop my banal content
Brain fried, at its best
Void but happy, content,
Destroy my brain
You’re just the same
We’re all insane
I wanna be on a plane

Wake up
Fuck up
In my head
We’re all fucked
That’s made up
I’m stuck
I don’t got shit
Can’t. write. Blocked.
That something?
Nothing?
3:30’s aren’t wasted
I’m ‘blah’
I suck
I don’t got shit
Can’t. write. Blocked.
