Lulutoons - I'd Rather Stare (Lyric Video)
Apr 21, 2025
Made this relatively short song relating to the struggles and comforts of a shy introvert. This time, I tried to imitate a Bossa Nova style, but in the end it sounded more like Taco's Tirade and the structure was like Halloween Night. I also got out of my comfort zone and recorded using a "Digital" guitar for the woodwinds, and that's why it feels delayed at times. Hopefully I can fix it with later song. I decided to make this for a passion project (I did album/song production), and yes, it was for the same class that made me rewrite Stuck In Place.
Key: F Minor
Tempo: 120 BPM

Lyrics:
Don't wanna go outside
I don't wanna run, I wanna hide
From the plague that's spreading far and wide
Lurking around the streets tonight
If I socialize
A major problem will likely arise
Will start a fight, but you don't realize
Felt like a joke from your own eyes
From the sight of the room
It may seem like your doom
My nerves are getting tense and I had enough
It would be better if the lights remained off
I'd rather stare
And watch the time go past, but the demons are there
Trying to make me watch the world
Go through the terror that occurred
[Instrumental Break]
From the sight of the room
It may seem like your doom
My nerves are getting tense and I had enough
It would be better if the lights remained off
I'd rather stare
And watch the time go past, but the demons are there
Trying to make me watch the world
Go through the terror that occurred
