I Am Not A Joke

(Steven Soucy)

This lyric is both quite serious and also tongue in cheek simultaneously. If that makes sense. Do you get to a point where you are sick of people not taking you seriously? I think we all do. But I'll tell you simply, I Am Not A Joke

Verse

I tried so hard to be a man, 
Who stood up tall and could be admired
But no one seemed to get me
The way I thought, how I was wired
Even when I held a serious tone
And gave my best straight face
Everyone scoffed and sneered
Like I was the clown of this place

Chorus

But I've got news for all of you
Even if I'm not enlightened or woke
I'm a man with thoughts and feelings
And I am not a joke

Verse

The pretty girls never fell for me
They never even looked my way
That big promotion was never to be
I just watched my dreams slip away
It's almost to a point
I wonder can you see through me?
But there's still time
To show what I can be

Bridge

They say no man is an island 
But I feel alone on this shore
It's finally time for me to shine
Like I never have before

Chorus

But I've got news for all of you
Even if I'm not enlightened or woke
I'm a man with thoughts and feelings
And I am not a joke

This time I'll have the last laugh
When I unleash my Master stroke
Then you'll finally understand
That I am not a joke

Crazy Heartbeats

By Martina Ledermann

"Crazy Heartbeats" is a song about the overwhelming feeling of reuniting with a long-lost love. The song is characterized by its upbeat tempo and powerful lyrics, which express the singer's nervousness and excitement at seeing their former love once again. The chorus is particularly catchy, with its repetition of the phrase "Crazy Heartbeats," which perfectly captures the singer's racing pulse. The bridge provides a moment of reflection, as the singer acknowledges the long wait for this moment and the enduring nature of their love. The song ends with a strong affirmation of that love, with the singer declaring that they will always be in love with their former partner.
