this song took a long time and a lot of effort to come to your ears today. it's a long story lol. basically: this song was recorded the last day that this lineup of boring played together in march 2020. then we disbanded bc of the pandemic. the songs on that day weren't even finished, but we knew it was probably our last chance to record them. the song was recorded in 2 parts. the second half of the song was recorded without really knowing what it was going to become: we new it was going to be an indulgent, massive ending, but we didn't really know what the structure was. so, we jammed on the two chords, building and just flowing--something we had never done before in a recording--and the first take had this special energy. we actually tried the second half a few more times with a little more deliberation and structure, but those takes didn't compare to the energy of this first take, so we kept it. then we spliced that take with a take of the first half of the song that we liked.
the solo was recorded by edek alone with his laptop a year after the full band recorded. there's a lot of emotions wrapped up in this song, and i am glad to finally be putting it out into the world.
i hope you enjoy :)

lyrics:
when did i start to get so sad?
or was i like this before the internet?
cue the music; cue the existential dread.
ever since I can remember
i've been lying to myself because
i am scared of what comes after
i am honest in my songs.
why am i so afraid of bein' wrong?
i might be wrong, so what that's fine
i can't go on, living like
i might be wrong, so what its fine
maybe it's okay to be wrong sometimes
ever since i can remember
i've been lying to myself because
it's easier than being honest
with the ones i love
why is it so hard to be in love?
i might be wrong, so what that's fine
i can't go on, living like
i might be wrong, so what it's fine
maybe it's okay, to be wrong some time
i might be wrong
this all is in my head
it's in my head
