"so let's pretend this whole thing isn't going down." HELLO!!! it has been quite a while since i've released a full song!! i've had this song up my sleeve for around 4 months and i've been itching to get it out :') i've had quite a few negative experiences on the internet lately, especially with all the hate that i see every single day. so i thought. huh. why not spew my thoughts into one not very cohesive song? wordy's kind of like the lovechild of cyberpunk dead boy and shuuen touhikou since i was HOOKED onto both of those songs while i was making this. but yeah!! i had a lot of fun compsing & arranging this, and working with ami for this was also an amazing experience :] once again HEAVILY thanking azali for the mastering, the song wouldn't be complete without it it's also been a dream of mine to have a typography-styled mv like this and mamsenpai really made it come true!!! and now a note from ami herself: "whats your favourite word ill start mine is marshmallow ᗜ⩊ᗜ" ============== 【CREDITS】 → Music : stickii B → Vocals : amiaryllis ​⁠@amiaryllis https://x.com/amiaryllis_ → Mastering : AZALI ​⁠@AZALI00013 https://x.com/AZALI00013 ​⁠ → MV : mamsenpai ​⁠@mamsenpai https://x.com/mamsenpai ================ off vocal: https://youtu.be/I88DQ5Rneao?si=797Cqxz6D6CPDGT1 streaming: https://open.spotify.com/album/44XzTnkZgyrCmPzfSr2yk2?si=uGYbNDoGRDic1VgPZvWw5A ================ ~Lyrics~ (intro) so let’s awake see all that shines in this fragile mind of a modern city if this is true, why can’t I say that? is that a lie now? just stop. (verse 1) do you really care at all if you lose or win in a fight with lies spread all around you? is there a point to it all? what’s the endgame? how can one repeat the same thing again? (pre-chorus) mix some letters here and there punctuation without care, hey will this violent puzzle ever satiate their mouths? just cause’ you’re anonymous doesn’t mean you’re free from judgement I can’t help but wonder when it’ll drop can’t you stop? (chorus) the message cannot be sent because it has a meaning a purpose a point to make please try again later or if you have a sewn mouth a need for clout so let’s pretend this whole thing isn’t going- (verse 2) I’m feeling intoxicated driven by your pure intent watching your every move so I can get some views on this short this how the shit’s gonna end now? burning it down while we all bow?
