“Paradox of Feelings” is the sixteenth and final track off of Hayden Forbes' debut album A Musician’s Nature.
Closing out the album, this song is about the complex emotions when writing music, especially a whole album. Hayden struggled for years to get to this moment, and it brought many feelings a...
[Intro]
It's like
There’s that one project you put so much heart into
But like so much struggle
And you just don't know what to do when it's over
[Chorus]
Everyone’s different and I'm wantin' to be me
While I'm out chasing dreams and it's a paradox of feelings
Goin' down this album's road, with nowhere to go, oh
I've got clashin’ emotions, you know how it goes bro
I’ve got clashin' emotions, you know how it goes bro
Goin’ down this album's road, with nowhere to go, oh
While I'm out chasing dreams and it's a paradox of feelings
Everyone’s different and I'm wantin' to be me
[Interlude 1]
You see B?
[Verse 1]
Alarm goes off, get up, work, school, work, school, and repeats (Uh)
These days, I need somethin' more than food to feed me (Mmm)
If need be, I gotta get money to live freely
My interest is high, at this altitude it's breezy
My plane of existence, man what is this? (Huh)
A place I'm told possibilities are endless
I hope I could put my goals on some sort of wishlist
And come up with somethin' that fully expresses my interests (Uh)
A project created by my mind
With no deadlines for my lines or my rhymes
March of '17, it's my time, I've got words
If I keep goin', I can truly say I'm superb
But I can do better, this cringe hurts, I see flaws (Uh)
Look around and there seems to be no deep thoughts (Why?)
Don't know what I should do now because
[Chorus]
Everyone's different and I'm wantin' to be me
While I'm out chasing dreams and it's a paradox of feelings
Goin' down this album's road, with nowhere to go, oh
I've got clashin' emotions, you know how it goes bro
I've got clashin' emotions, you know how it goes bro
Goin' down this album's road, with nowhere to go, oh
While I'm out chasing dreams and it's a paradox of feelings
Everyone's different and I'm wantin' to be me
[Interlude 2]
It's not easy
[Verse 2]
Should I release this? (Nope)
To be honest it's not somethin' Grade A
Can't fund this with lame pay, when they ain't on the same page (Oh!)
After 4 songs it's gone before long (Why?)
I gave up, but rewrote, what could go wrong?
Just one tune for the people to see me (Yeah)
Then got ahead of myself with a complete EP
Now an LP to work on, back where I began
18 tracks to write on demand for each man (Damn)
Then I scrapped that, 2 albums are now shelved
A personal hell completely composed by myself (Mmm)
But this one's workin', dropped six hits, my wishlist (Yes)
It's like Christmas every time I present this
Not gonna lie it was stressful (Nope)
So much occurred
From 16-19, three whole years of lessons learned
This was A Musician's Nature and I live by every word
[Chorus]
Everyone's different and I'm wantin' to be me
While I'm out chasing dreams and it's a paradox of feelings
Goin' down this album's road, with nowhere to go, oh
I've got clashin' emotions, you know how it goes bro
I've got clashin' emotions, you know how it goes bro
Goin' down this album's road, with nowhere to go, oh
While I'm out chasing dreams and it's a paradox of feelings
Everyone's different and I'm wantin' to be me
[Outro]
