Lyrics:
If I could have a dream
It’d be one without boundaries
Time, place, reality, unbounded by means of suffering
If I could have a day
It’d be one where I focused on hustling and bustling
Game on, game on, it’s always game on
Game on, game on, it’s always game on
Day by day it’s a back to back battle
The current path laid out sometimes feels a bit shallow
So, game on. What’s there to lose I say
I’m finding things out day by day
And hey, it’s all about the experience
If we focus on ourselves in the future, we paralyze ourselves in the present
And that’d feel like a meaningless existence
So, game on, game on, it’s always game on
Game on, game on, it’s always game on
If I could have a dream
It’d be one without boundaries
Time, place, reality, unbounded by means of suffering
If I could have a day
It’d be one where I focused on hustling and bustling
Game on, game on, it’s always game on
What were you trying to think about in your song?
I was thinking about how a lot of the time, we tend to focus on the future and the past and have it define ourselves rather than just focusing on the present moment before us. While the past should be acknowledged, it shouldn’t be something that we hold onto and define us. The future is an accumulation of multiple “nows” of our everyday lives, so why not focus on that?
What was your process for writing your song?
There really was no flat out specific structure that I wanted to go for with the lyrics. I simply set myself upon a theme and went with it. Everything else came through as stream of consciousness.
Was it easy? Hard What you expected? Surprising?
Having taken time to write my own song, I have so much more appreciation for songwriters and people who do this full time. It takes a lot of mental energy to get phrasing right, themes, and tones that you want to be able to convey to a vast audience. It’s pretty difficult and nothing like I initially expected at all.
How successful do you think your song is?
Considering that I was able to amass this piece in less than two hours. I would say not that great. I feel like it has a more spoken word type of feel than a rhythmic pop song.
Do you think you will ever write another song?
I don’t see myself writing another song in the future, but who knows that might just change.
If you did write another song, what do you think it might be about?
If I did write another song, it’d probably be about coffee considering the amount that I drink on a weekly basis.
