Alone
“Alone” is all about my past, it’s about love, and it’s about growth. It is about all of the loneliness I had to go through as a young teen, and how I viewed that loneliness then, versus now. It also talks about the things that made that loneliness less difficult to deal with. There is always a good and bad side of the situation, and I have definitely grown a lot as an artist and as a person, so now I am able to look at my past less subjectively and really explain both sides through this song. Also this is a message to someone very important to me, that made those dark times a lot brighter.
I Know
I Know was created almost as a way to say, “HAHAHA, I told all of ya’ll that doubted me, or tried to tell me how I should live MY LIFE, I knew I was right,” but in an a completely artistic and more thought out manner… Kinda. It definitely is still immature in some ways, but that is exactly what I wanted people to understand when listening to this track. I am openly admitting that the point of “I Know” was to embrace that more ignorant and egotistical part of myself that just wants to show all the haters and naysayers their place, while also explaining the philosophy behind my methods of “everyone knows exactly what they need to do, because they are the only ones that could possibly know, as it is their life, and no one else’s.” If there is one thing I hate, it is people who set limitations. Whether it is on themselves, or on others, these types of people can never, and will never, be on the same level as people like me, and like minded to me, because we are the dreamers, and for people like that, limitations DO NOT exist.
“Gojo”
“Gojo” is all about potential. It’s about realizing your own greatness, and realizing that we all have infinity at our disposal. Infinity is my view of that “thing” that seems to make other things happen in a mysterious and often fortunate way. Some call it the work of the universe, the law of attraction, manifestation, energies, God, or even luck. “Infinity” is my version of all of the above. It is a philosophy that I have been pondering for years, but something finally clicked whenever watching “Jujutsu Kaisen" (A popular anime) and whenever I was introduced to Gojo (The character from “Jujutsu Kaisen” that this song is about) everything seemed to just.. click… in my understanding of what I call the infinity. I don’t mean infinity as in the physical and numerical anomaly, but rather the sort of “force” that seems to make all of us have a path, and put that path into motion. The reason I call this “Infinity” rather than those other names that I mentioned before, is for two main reasons. One, I feel as if infinity is much more than that, because it is my belief that it is rather the combination of all of those things. This is also related to the second reason, which is that it is limitless, thus “Infinity” seemed fitting. It is able to conduct the flow of your energy into a manifestation of your future, and this song is about how I am learning to truly realize how to access and utilize my own “Infinity.” “Infinity”, to me, is personal to everyone and their path in life, but can be used to create whatever reality they desire by understanding how to work in harmony with their own “Infinity.” No matter what you think this phenomenon may be, and no matter what you call it, the question remains, will you realize your own destiny, your own “Infinity,” or will you allow it to realize you?
“Kompy’s Return”
“Kompy’s Return” is only the beginning of my true potential. The true intent behind this song isn’t to just show off how much I love Adventure Time (even though I really do). The true intent was multiple reasons. Firstly I really wanted to take a step back and reimagine the entire way I was making music. I wanted to break down all the barriers that I had trapped myself in. Music should be a free and creative process, but through immaturity and a poor mindset I was not making music for that reason for a while (which is why I hadn’t released anything for a year). Secondly, I really wanted to show off that work that I had put in. What I mean by this, I had taken such a long time to get to the place mentally that I am in, and when I finally reached a version of me that I was proud of, I really wanted to put that out to my people to show them the growth and effort I have put into myself and my music. So finally that leads me to this song. What better way to show all of that progress and growth, into this new better version of weirdydayz, than by making a super fun yet, super introspective song that is also based on one of the cartoons that raised me. I made the best song sonically that I have ever made, and combined it with themes from myself internally and my favorite show, AND did that all as a way to show my true sound as an artist and the new sound that I have been developing (which is really just the sound I have been wanting to make). Overall I am very proud of this song, and the new me. I also hope you enjoy my new sound, but as I stated at the beginning. This is only the beginning of my true potential. This new me will have plenty of new music soon. Stay weird.
I Don’t Feel
This song was my second song after I had truly started to develop my sound, and is mostly about the changes I had been going through as a person and as an artist during this time. I leave the rest up to interpretation. Lyrics in the description…
No Hope/Options
No Hope? Or future options? It all depends on perspective. Do you want to live on to see your future and all that it holds, or do you wish to die in regret and agony for you did not look at life in its entirety. This song is my way of expressing that duality. Sometimes we feel up. Sometimes we feel down. Whatever I feel though, I will push on no matter what. This song is my way of saying that, when I do inevitably see my future in all of its beauty and all that it has in store for me, all of the people that had no faith in me or tried to put me down will get only and “I told you so.” In other words… I can’t lose. Because the only way one loses is when they give up. That being said, I have no hope, because all I have are options. As we all do.
“In Money We Trust”
Money makes the world go around. I only partake in this game in order to be free. This song is all about the irony of the system we are born into. We’re all crazy. All searching for love, happiness… Something genuine. Only to find shallow and empty fleeting moments of dopamine. A disconnected and lonely society where we are all fake on the outside to hide our faults on the inside. A robotic and lacking society that actively tries to kill its own people for profit. On the surface it might seem as if I am preaching to only trust in yourself, and your material gain… This state of being. That would be misrepresentation of my true intentions, and goals for the future. I want to see peace between people. Love and intelligent inclusivity throughout communities. I want to see true freedom for everyone to live as they see fit… but if that were the case, then I guess that would just be the current state of being we are already in. I play a character in this song. A character we all have in us that was drilled into us since the day we were born. The character that desires status, wealth, and most of all, separation from those who do not think the same, as in this character’s light, they will always be inferior. Internally, is where all of these characteristics lie, and thus not necessarily true externally. Only that we as a people have pushed these ideals through into our reality, and as it stands currently, are now the basis of our societies. No faith. No trust. No real love. But that has to change with us. I hope we can see a time when we all realize that we are all one. All humans with the same needs. But until then… Stay weird.
