“Venting to a Tape Recorder” is the sixth song and second single off Billy Cobb’s third full-length LP The Void.
The song is about the narrator going through emotional turmoil about the end of a relationship. Not being able to express his emotions, he is trying to relieve his pain by venting to a t...
[Verse 1]
I wake up with pains inside my chest
I'm up too late, I need some rest
I hope I'll hear from her
But dammit, dude
You've been through this before
She puts her legs on both of his
He rubs his hands against her skin
How could I not think of her
If all she ever thinks about is him?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, will she see me?
Or am I just another guy?
[Chorus]
I'm in the mood for something different
I'm in the mood for something new
Why did you have to be so distant?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
I'm in the mood for something better
Because the sadness has gone stale
Until then I'll send her letters
Until then I'll stay in pale
[Verse 2]
I wonder, did I ever cross her mind?
I might as well be guided by the blind
This is not her fault
This is not my fault
All I see is him
He's an awesome guy
I would be much worse
I'm not right for her
I'm not right for anyone at all
I can't do shit
For this predicament
All I'll do is make her hate me more
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, will she see me?
Or am I just another guy?
[Chorus]
I'm in the mood for something different
I'm in the mood for something new
Why did you have to be so distant?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
I'm in the mood for something better
Because the sadness has gone stale
Until then I'll send her letters
Until then I'll stay in pale
[Bridge]
Do you even want to talk to me anymore?
Or have I been forgotten?
Or am I just thinking too much?
I keep thinking I'll doing something soon
But I won't get my hopes up
[Chorus]
I'm in the mood for something different
I'm in the mood for something new
Why did you have to be so distant?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
I'm in the mood for something better
Because the sadness has gone stale
Until then I'll send her letters
Until then I'll stay in pale
I'm in the mood for something different
I'm in the mood for something new
Why did you have to be so distant?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
I'm in the mood for something better
Because the sadness has gone stale
Until then I'll send her letters
Until then I'll stay in pale
