Doomsday Prepping

from Let The Good Things Happen by RABB

/

lyrics

Ooh I feel the big give up coming on
Things are picking up, I'm stretched too thin
It won't be long
Ambition creeps in, aspiration spreads like a mould
I tell myself that I can do this
But I'm waiting to fold

I'm terrified of failure
I hate being wrong
But worse is marching back
From a place I thought I belonged

But I should let the good things happen
I should let the good times roll
I'm so busy doomsday prepping
I forget what I'm surviving for

Told myself I didn't need anything to be happy
Higher I'd aim, the further I'd fall it made sense to me
And if I wasn't already good at it, it wasn't worth the time
If I had nothing to lose, I'd be just fine

I'm terrified of failure
I need to be right
My tendency to think ahead
Keeps me up at night

But I should let the good things happen
I should let the good times roll
I'm so busy doomsday prepping
I forget what I'm surviving for

So I'll cancel those plans
I won't buy those things
I'll resist any sense of opportunity

Cancel those plans
I won't buy those things
Self-care isn't in my vocabulary

I'm terrified of failure
I admit defeat
It wasn't meant to be
Situation got the best of me

But I should let the good things happen
I should let the good times roll
I'm so busy doomsday prepping
I forget what I'm surviving for

I am a singer-songwriter based in Hampshire attempting to challenge perceptions of what original ukulele music can be.

My approach to songwriting is simple. I write about things that have happened to me or are important to me, and the songs need to sound just as good with just me and my uke or fully arranged on a studio album. ... more
