“Capacity” is the debut single from Charly Bliss' highly anticipated follow-up to their debut album, 2017’s Guppy. Per the band’s Twitter account, the song is “about wanting to kill your inner people-pleaser, and the perils of getting swept up in other people’s bullshit.”

[Verse 1]
I used to think that
I should be good at everything
Now I know I was wrong
I used to think that
I should do right by everyone
Now I know I was wrong
A couple of things is enough
But now I know that
Every wave is just that - cresting and crashing
If it haunted you then
Now you don't remember it
[Refrain]
Sever every microscopic atom of connection to
"I can barely keep myself afloat when I'm not saving you"
[Chorus]
Resurrected from the basement
I'm at capacity, I'm spilling out of me
It's got nothing to do with me
[Verse 2]
I used to think one man could fill me up
But now I know that if I'm always stuck

Doing nothing's sacrilegious
Triple overtime ambitious
Sometimes nothing is delicious
[Chorus]
Resurrected from the basement
I'm at capacity, I'm spilling out of me
Desecrated and complacent
I'm at capacity, I'm spilling out of me
It's got nothing to do with me

I don’t know why it’s easiest for me to frame the darkest lyrics in the context of upbeat songs. It’s completely instinctual and not something I ever plan out.
