about
After a short but passionate romance with a girl who I had treated poorly in the past, had come to a sudden and ugly end, I needed her to forget me entirely.
I have a tendency to try and bare as much weight on myself in any scenario, and this was no exception. Although her problem with me was, in hindsight, stupid and uncalled for, I felt to blame for everything that went wrong.
I was lying in bed after this happened, and I heard the words "please forget me" being sung in a quiet, lulling voice in my head. I knew I wouldn't be able to go to bed until the idea was out in some musical form, so I took to my DAW, recorded a sample of myself singing this lyrical phrase, and built an instrumental around it.
The song is a blend of my old style of atmospheric, dreamy hip-hop with drawn-out melodic rapping, and some new styles of cadence I was trying on at the time. The lyrics witfully discuss my contempt with a life that I had tried hard to leave behind, yet kept creeping back in through old faces and stories that relapsed on themselves over time.
lyrics
Yeah
Just take me out of your memories
I didn't make the cut
But I've been sippin' on some potion
It helps me not care so much
Found some good vibrations when you came around
But it's hopeless 'cause I always have to deaden the sound, now
I need you to forget me
Forget me, yeah (forget me)
I need you to erase me
Please forget me
Guess I'm the bad guy, who always points the blame
Never had a problem, now I don't wanna know your name 'cause
You called me every one under the sun
No wonder all the guys in your life want to run
Imma run away
This shit keeps happenin' to me
It's my mistake
I just really wanna ride the wave, but always fall ass over face
No drama, babe
See what karma say
Even though you dragged me down
I'm still gon' get my name spread out like marmalade
I conquered the beat (aye)
808 bow at my feet (yuh)
"Time for the venomous rhythm to come in and kill em"
Man, you put me to sleep
I was chosen to own it, like a bitch on a leash
My only opponenet - the man in the mirror
Askin' "what do you see?"
What do you see?
Just take me out of your memories
I didn't make the cut
But I've been sippin' on some potion
It helps me not care so much
Found some good vibrations when you came around
But it's hopeless 'cause I always have to deaden the sound, now
I need you to forget me
Forget me, yeah (forget me)
I need you to erase me
Please forget me
Lately my mental's been more break than bend
No hoping when coping's a means to an end
I just stay me, maybe that will get me top 10s
Or somebody to post up with me and a new Benz truck
Still punk boy, never give a fuck
Reppin' 403 and it's no love
We'll be singin' loud
Got dead friends, but it's all good
We'll make 'em proud
Represent like a brother would
Threw out a life full of regret, just to pick back up again
Same story, new atmosphere
Mind rotting like the stratosphere
Always felt displaced here
No option but to face fears
So wait here, hold my beer, and you can watch me
Disappear
Just take me out of your memories
I didn't make the cut
But I've been sippin' on some potion
It helps me not care so much
Found some good vibrations when you came around
But it's hopeless 'cause I always have to deaden the sound, now
I need you to forget me
Forget me, yeah (forget me)
I need you to erase me
Please forget me
