Ever feel like no matter what choice you make, it’s the wrong one? The illusion of choice. Have you noticed that the harder you try to relax, the harder it actually is to relax? The paradox of consciousness.

This track aims to merge the infectious energy of Pop Rock with the edgy tones of Alternative and Indie Rock, while layering in the vibrant elements of Synthpop and Indie Pop to create a multi-dimensional and emotionally resonant sound.

The narrator experiences the frustration of repeated failures (“Yesterday was supposed to be the day for me / I faceplant on the ground”), capturing the struggle between effort and outcome. The song explores themes of persistence, disappointment, and the relentless passage of time.

Lyrics

Time stands still
In the middle of the night
Shapes unformed
Hidden from the light

I’ve been
Waiting so long
I’ve been
Waiting so long

It seems to me
The more I try not to fall on down
It seems to me
The more time I spend on the ground

Yesterday was supposed to be the day for me
I faceplant on the ground
Yesterday was supposed to be two for three
Instead I done struck out
I faceplant on the ground
I faceplant on the ground

Space decays
And everything is all
Where it starts
Is where the end will fall

I’ve been
Waiting so long
I’ve been
Waiting so long

I’ve been
Waiting so long
I’ve been
Waiting so long

It seems to me
The more I try not to fall on down
It seems to me
The more time I spend on the ground

Yesterday was supposed to be the day for me
I faceplant on the ground
Yesterday was supposed to be two for three
Instead I done struck out
I faceplant on the ground
I faceplant on the ground

It seems to me
The more I try not to fall on down
It seems to me
The more time I spend on the ground

Yesterday was supposed to be the day for me
I faceplant on the ground
Yesterday was supposed to be two for three
Instead I done struck out
I faceplant on the ground
I faceplant on the ground
