  • I made this song in like 5 hours for my college songwriting class but people liked it so I’m posting it on here.
    The assignment was to find a track and top-line over it (write melody and lyrics) so I found a guitar track by ‪@unfinishedsongs‬ on UA-cam and added the vocals and other instruments (link to the original, no.40: • Upbeat acoustic guitar... )
    Enjoy! (or don't lol)

    " 'Cause despite all my potential, it might never be kinetic..."
    My nerdy STEM ass: "Bars."
    If I may take this concept on a side tangent: the vibration of atoms is a form of kinetic energy, and this vibration is measured as temperature. So technically we convert potential energy to kinetic energy just by being alive and generating body heat. Eating food, making our atoms jiggle. So in this specific, profoundly metaphorical sense, even science tells us that our worth is not dependent on our productivity; our potential is already kinetic just because we're alive. (Gotta love it when science has poetic meaning.)

    I'm the same
    That I was
    When I was
    Seventeen
    I assumed
    I would grow
    But I'm still
    Green
    Still a sprout
    Running out
    of time to change
    into more
    I can't claim
    That I wasn't in charge
    of my growth
    Was it pride or just weakness?
    Or both?
    Was it fair
    Nothing's fair
    I don't care-
    Just ignore
    If I wanted to be better
    You'd think by now
    I would be
    But I am endlessly excusing
    what my poor decisions
    make me
    Though it's not the path
    I'm choosing,
    I'm allowing it to take me
    And it feels like a crime to act like who I'm already,
    who I should I be
    Though I keep it confidential
    I'm essentially
    Synthetic
    'cause despite all my
    potential.
    It might never be kinetic
    When is it too late?
    Where's the deadline
    the red line, to cross?
    The Golden Opportunity's, gone
    but is there dross
    left behind
    I can find
    and use to rise off the floor
    What is fate?
    but the end of the road
    that we're on?
    Can I choose to be
    king?
    And not pawn?
    Still as weak
    Still can't move
    but an improvement
    from before
    If I wanted to be better. You would think, by now
    I would be
    And even when I follow every guideline to the letter.
    I'm afraid it's always
    hollow
    And I'm never getting
    better
    And it feels a crime to act
    like I'm already
    who I should be
    But if I'm less ashamed
    of my disguise than what's
    inside it?
    Can my inner self be blamed
    For all the times it's tried
    to hide it?
    (Ooh)
    (Ooh)

      I had a hard time finding the lyrics (besides the video obviously) so if anyone later finds these and creates a copy online just know who created this first. And also I did this for my girlfriend who I thought this was perfect for me to try and sing to her. So here's the lyrics for anyone

    I don't think I could find another songwriter that could more aptly put all the thoughts that race through my mind into words. These songs have been part of a larger catalyst for change in my life. I don't think I'm ready, but I'm starting to realise that I'll never be ready. Life happens whether you want it to or not, and trying to stop it is about as effective as trying to stop a faucet with your hands. I'm finally starting to take back control over my life, and you are one of the people I have to thank for inspiring such change.
