Volts | The first song from my upcoming EP: "What Happens If I Let It Out."
This is a song about my lifelong experience of getting a big buildup of restless electricity that overtakes me until I find a way to let it out, or else face the possibility of exploding. Know what I mean? No? Cool, cool.
After writing this song about my own experience of that high voltage energy, I heard a fun story about a tribe of headhunters from the Philippines who also experience that feeling, only they deal with it by cutting off some heads. Thankfully, my method is a gentler one, and usually involves some light screaming.
lyrics
I had a sense it was coming
Just like it always does
The colors are shifting in the heat, and picking up speed
Electricity tears through me, like lightening on the sea
I can fight until I am nothing but a shell, no story to tell
But what happens if I let it out?
Can I give it some space without,
Giving up everything
For a moment just let it sing?
Hair standing on end
The static builds and then suspends
If I wail from the bottom of my soul,
Will it leave me in pieces, or make me whole?
But what happens if I let it out?
Can I give it some space without,
Giving up everything
For a moment just let it sing?
