Described by Bryce Bishop as “about defeat” Spite is Bryce Bishop’s first 2021 single, with a unique sound from his earlier records, with sounds of nostalgia and heartbreak.
Bryce paints a picture of a relationship that he is happy to be in, but ultimately comes out in defeat. Asking questions like...
[Intro]
The voice thing is, is cool
'Cause I guess, you-you know, you get everything out
You don't have to type forever
You hear your friends' voice
[Verse 1]
Well it's been a long time since you left
I've been thinking quite a lot about the things that you said
We were sitting on the beach talking 'bout all your regrets
I'll admit I was relieved when you didn't say this was one
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I'm much too restless
Reel in all my expectations
Work on building up my patience
Too much, it's too much, too much
[Chorus]
Is this progress? Are you happy?
Are you focusеd? I am pissed off
You said, "Why is that?" I hate that you asked
'Causе I haven't figured it out myself and I'm
Standing in a boiling shower
Tryna slow my racing pulse, I
Try to breathe but I can't seem to stop my trembling hands from shaking
[Verse 2]
And I know it's been a while since I broke
I've been thinking quite a lot about that time that we spoke
I was layin' in my bed face first in my phone
When you told me over text that you think you'd rather be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I'm much too invested
Reel in my extensive second-guessing
Forget my regrets and finally go to sleep
[Chorus]
But I am too fucking tired of getting in bed
So I am lying on the floor, on the carpet instead
And I am buried in my phone and the lives of my friends
I am marinating in nostalgia
There were twenty people, and smoke filled my room
And I was dodging conversations while I stared at you
And you were caught up with your friends
But then you turned your head
And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away
[Outro]
And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away
And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away (Is this progress?)
And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away (Ayy)
And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away
Okay
