Liner Notes
Lyrics
People always talking bout
The way it used to be
Everybody stops and stares
No one except me
There is something happening
Infecting all their minds
Never needed anyone to tell me what is my mine
There is something wrong with them
They not know what they do
There is something happening
Don’t let it happen to you
Don’t let it happen
Don’t let them take your mind
Feeling so locked in
Don’t know where I’ve been
All these bright lights in my eyes
Toughening my grip
There is something happening
Something in the water
Comments
There is a feeling of some slight paranoia with the music and the understated vocal delivery which heightens the atmosphere. Like the chords sliding into the single notes towards the end too.
This is kinda like a drony nirvana type of thing, expect I can understand the words you are singing, which I appreciate. The message of "something happening" rings true to me. I definitely feel like there's something in the water or the air or something. Infecting minds.
I like this. Raw delivery. Unpretentious lyrics. Thank you.
Wow this is powerful. As someone else said, this is Nirvana-adjacent, and you do it so well. It's weary, but also like you haven't given up and are using the last dregs of energy you have for a desperate call for help. "There is something happening. Something in the water" is so chilling as a final line.
I could listen to a whole concept album like this. Society is crumbling and you're the prophet.
