The Retrospective

(Ken Latulippe)

Feelings about your ex can get pretty complicated. Sometimes, it boils down to the fact that you miss love or the way they loved you, not necessarily that person. Sometimes you have to remind yourself of that.

I really really wanna hate you- No, I got that wrong I think i really did hate you But I just want to get along It's not like I want you back, My feelings are gone It's just, you were my friend But a friend wouldn’t treat me like that They wouldn’t use me for my body And then leave me for dead After a whole year together, Funny how butterflies turn to dread They wouldn’t keep me strung along And then push me away They wouldn’t make me wonder Every single day If they loved me, or wanted me dead Whatever you wanted, you got it, You got in my head They wouldn’t leave me alone When I needed them most, they wouldn’t Pretend they don’t hear the ring of the phone They wouldn’t avoid me and say That everything’s fine They wouldn’t make me start The whole breakup that time, They wouldn’t take my virginity And everything left of me It's not just a breakup, It's a breakdown Cause even now I see your face all over town It's not just a breakdown, It's a restart I'm fucking XXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX XXXXXX XXX X XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX X XXX XXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXXXXXX X XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XXX XXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXX XX XX XXX X XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXXX XXX XXX XXXX X XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXX XXXX XX XXXXX XXXXX X XXXX X XXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXXX XXX XXXXXX X XXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX

My Stranger

By Ken Latulippe


It's tough seeing someone again when you're not over them yet. It's even more tough when they keep popping into your life, ghosting you, rinse and repeat. It's toughest when throughout all of it, they're still that exact same person you knew, unchanged, but now a stranger nonetheless.

Take a Walk

By Ken Latulippe


You know when there's so mich left to say, but the person you want to say it to has chosen to leave already? That's kind of what this is. Hopelessly spilling your guts, knowing there won't be a reply. What do you do with all of that heaviness, then?

CO2

By Ken Latulippe


I like a lot of alone time, especially when I don't particularly care for the people around me. When I wrote this, I was on SSRIs and couldn't feel much of anything. That sort of emptiness and "everyone leave me alone" mindset is what brought this song about.

No One, Really

By Ken Latulippe


When you move away from home, it can get really, really lonely, especially when the people you cared about have long since left you behind. It makes everything feel pointless- it even makes being sad over that pointless feeling feel pointless. Regardless, something had to be done with the feeling, so that's what brought this song about.

Misunderstood

By Howard Aronson


This lyric is about my struggles with ADHD. It's something I've had since I was diagnosed at 3 years old. I've been on and off medication for it both legally and with cocaine if you want to call that medication, illegally. ADHD is very challenging to live with. It affects your everyday life, you're interpersonal relationships, and your ability to focus, and think before you act. But there's so many good things about being ADHD. Most people with ADHD are very creative and can be very successful, such as Einstein. If you have the ability to hyperfocus on positive things instead of negative things you could turn your ADHD into an asset. For me it's been bittersweet, as I've used my ADHD to be successful, but also to have it play a part in my downfall. I hope you like this lyric.
