Lockdown by Kaelin Halcrow Lyrics
The date is Tuesday 24 March, 2020. The United Kingdom has just been placed in Quarantine, along with India, China, France, Italy, New Zealand, Poland
Suddenly a whole lot of Brits are going to have an unprecedented surplus of time on their hands
This song is my commentary on that fact
I spent my first 6 hours of quarantine creating this song
Now I can safely listen to it on repeat for the weeks we are in a state of lockdown
Lyrics
This instrumental was produced by Lethal Needle
It is a good instrumental
So we can't go outside now
And if we do, we get fined now
Cos the best way to prevent
A disease being spread
Is to profit off of autonomy
So here we are
Trying to pass the time
In this unprecedented
Paradigm
It's gonna get boring real fast
I predict that
We're gonna get
More desperate
With our clicks
For example
Here you are
Listening to me
Jesus
Look out the window and just know that it's dangerous
Even though it doesn't seem it is, the media says it is
And you can always trust the media
This is the best opportunity
You'll get to reflect on yourself
And truly deduce who is you?
Like, you could truly put this time to good use
Or
Watch the TV series
Till it's done. Then move on
To the next TV Series
Till it's done
Then umm
Oooh!
You could buy stuff
You don't need stuff
But you could lie to yourself
The package comes in through the door
Then you're bored of it and want more
All we ever wanted was to stay at home
Now all we want is to go outside
Never before had we wanted to roam
But the grass is always greener on the other side
What will you do now you're locked indoors
Maybe escapism will fill the time
We forget what we have and we want what we don't
Cuz the grass is always greener on the other side
I'm writing this song on day one of the lockdown
Gives me something to do, and keeps you from feeling bogged down
For now, but what about next week?
Your technique will need to be oblique to escape your feelings for a week
Or maybe you could face them
Instead of trying to erase them
If you try to hide from your nature
Instead of analysing your behaviour
I'm afraid that you will lose. It's a sour bit of news
Nature is bigger and more powerful than you
A lot of self-discovery is gonna occur
Cos up until the quarantine your life's been a blur
You've always been busy
Your times always been filled
It's been nursery and then school
Then college, university and then a job
But NOOOWWW that's gone
You've got nothing going on
For 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour FOUR
10 hours 20 hours 50 hours MORE
Oh lord I wish you luck
I hope your lockdown doesn't suck
But, that's up to you
What will you choose to do
All we ever wanted was to stay at home
Now all we want is to go outside
Never before had we wanted to roam
But the grass is always greener on the other side
What will you do now you're locked indoors
Maybe escapism will fill the time
We forget what we have and we want what we don't
Cuz the grass is always greener on the other side
Aww man
Let me know
How it go
On your end
Aw man
I got content
Just leave a comment
Lemme know if it alleviates your torment
What will you do now you're locked indoors
Maybe escapism will fill the time
We forget what we have and we want what we don't
Cuz the grass is always greener on the other side
Woo
I made it through day one
Then day two is gonna come
And then three
And then four..
Five.. Six… Seven…
Suddenly a whole lot of Brits are going to have an unprecedented surplus of time on their hands
This song is my commentary on that fact
I spent my first 6 hours of quarantine creating this song
Now I can safely listen to it on repeat for the weeks we are in a state of lockdown
