Headfirst

Headfirst you hit the wall
It’s always been so easy
When time’s up, you stop stalling
When time’s up, grease the wheels
The sight makes my skin crawl
Everyone else is dizzy
When time’s up, you start rolling
Keep your end of the deal

All the people gathered round to see your downfall
Figuring you will never be seen anymore

Head-on you hit new lows
There’s always room for progress
When time flies, you are frozen
When time flies, just press pause
This is the way it goes
It’s all part of your process
When time drags, you’re the chosen
The one, the underdog

All the people gathered round to see your downfall
‘Cause they thought you would never be seen anymore

All the people gathered round to see your downfall
‘Cause they figured you’d never be seen anymore

It goes on and on
On and on it goes for you
It goes on and on
On and on it goes for you
It goes on and on
On and on it goes for you
It goes on and on
On and on it goes for you

Artist Statement

"Headfirst" is a song created between April and September 2024 as an end-of-the-year project for the lesson Introduction to Music Technology taught by George Aidinis at Musical Praxis Conservatory. It's about feeling most at home when you undermine yourself in a vicious circle of sentimental dead ends.
