Selfish

(Howard Aronson)

This lyric is about the disease of addiction and how you become so selfish because of it. I know people that would rather sleep in the woods in a tent and get high all the time and try to get themselves help. They don't care about their family or their friends or their wife or husband girlfriend boyfriend, all they care about is themselves and getting high one more day. They'll go to any lengths to do this, by lying, stealing, or selling things that are worth money to a pawn shop. I've done all these things, and I only have one yet, and that's sleeping in a tent in the woods. I've been homeless sort of, when I was thrown out of my apartment, but I got to stay on people's couches. All of this because I was selfish and didn't care about anyone but myself.

It's 7:30 p.m., again
I'm in for the night, time to zip up my house
Got me a spot down by the river
It's breezy, and helps keep the bugs out

I'm here by choice
Cuz I gave up everything
I gave it away freely
For my love of just one thing

I Got a disease
It's a lack of ease
I need some help
To keep me from myself

I came to in the morning
I noticed I have a neighbor
I should go ask him
If you can get party favors

He says first we got to do some boosting
Cuz I got no cash
Or find something to trade
In someone's trash

I Got a disease
It's a lack of ease
I need some help
To keep me from myself
I got a disease
It doesn't get any worse than this
I got a disease
That's so fucking selfish

I zip open my house
After a hard luck day
And say what I always say
There's got to be a better way

I Got a disease
It's a lack of ease
I need some help
To keep me from myself
I got a disease
It doesn't get any worse than this
I got a disease
That's so fucking selfish

She

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a woman who's all about herself. She doesn't care about you or your feelings she doesn't know how to cry, she just knows how to lie. She'll do this to anyone that she comes in contact with whether they're just a friend or a physical relationship. That's all it really is to her anyway, she doesn't know about true love. She knows how to disguise herself well and it's easy for her to fool people. She's a coward too, and only strikes when you're most vulnerable. She doesn't know how to be direct and honest. That just make sure someone with no heart and soul.

Reason

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about life in today's world as compared to when I grew up. So much negativity and degradation in our world today money talks and bullshit walks. No one in Washington can get honest, and everything is political. There's never any bipartisanship anymore. I feel like if you got enough money you can buy anything or anyone. I just know that is no excuse for this. But if someone could give me a reason, I'll listen. But I don't think you can.

Rearranged

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the dysfunction, and disorganization of my life. Even though I'm OCD, I have a really hard time focusing because of my ADHD. To someone standing outside of me, it looks like I have a very organized life. But that's so far from the truth. Most of the time there are so many thoughts in my head, I'm so jumbled, and I don't know what to do first, and end up doing things twice at times. I need to rearrange my life that it becomes organized. Some people say you should learn to meditate, but that's just not me. I try medications, and they only work for so long or only do so much. I try AA meetings, I tried talking to my sponsor, I go hiking, and any of this rearrangement of my thoughts I'm trying to get them organized is very temporary. It's a real frustrating way to live a life. I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

Open the door

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about being a slave to my addiction. When I was using most of the time I was locked inside my apartment, not literally, just figuratively I could have opened that door anytime I wanted to walked outside, but I couldn't do it. I need help from someone, and that's the basis of this lyric. I'm reaching out, crying for help and hopes that someone hears me.

Wake

By Karianne Gabaldon

A depressing song about self-harm and an eating disorder. Talking about being used and how people mistreat you. But you’re dead inside, so you’re welcoming people to your wake.

Summer Dream

By Isaac Wragg

This is a stab at the a classic summer song with an interpretive twist. I ignored the usual feel good and relational themes for one that hopefully leaves the listener guessing. What it meant to me while writing it will likely be completely different from what it means to you. However, the lyrics are simultaneously not super complex and allow for a celebratory, triumphant feeling to also shine through. Additionally, the rhyme scheme is intentionally a little odd to give the song a more memorable and unique sound.
