From the recording THE ROOM
This track is really just a reaction to 2020 as a year. The feeling of being confined to one “room”, as many people were during lockdown /quarantining, is a difficult one and the lack of human contact has made life feel a bit hazy. This track also touches on the increased sense of division between people this year, with violence becoming more and more prevalent, symbolized by the horrific murders of George Floyd, Breanna Taylor and so many more, and the fact that equal rights for all has become a political issue rather than a necessity of life. 2020 has been a strange year, one that I’m sure we wish we could all forget.
Lyrics
In the room
Got me feeling like I’m someone new
In the room
Losing my tuition for the zoom
Room
Where you know I’m gonna be my screen times up so bright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I would say I’m lost but I’ve heard there’s much to do
In the room
Got me feeling like I’m someone new
In the room
Losing my tuition for the zoom
Zoom
18th cane celebrations gone but there’s always next year
Hit me up when I’m feeling down
The whole worlds on the news
In the room
Got me feeling like I’m someone new
In the room
Losing my tuition for the zoom
Ooh ooh
I don’t know if I can take more honey
Ooh ooh
Panic buying with my furlough money
Ooh ooh
I’m breaking down because
This year seemed so promising
It’s been a write off
More hate and less love
It seems we’re going backwards
In the room
Got me feeling like I’m someone new
In the room
Losing my tuition for the zoom
