about

Little tune to get into the swing of things! Told a friend of mine to give me a BPM and a key, then started with the bass and vocal melodies and went from there. Turned into sort of a 2010s Panic! at the Disco type party song ala "Victorious", so I tried to make the "self destruction" something that did seem dangerous but also fun, like a reckless lifestyle based around short term thrills leading to long term consequences. Kept it on the lighter side though.

lyrics

Chorus:
Crashing my sports cars
Smashing my guitars
Gotta slow down
Before I self destruct

Turning the lights out
Burning my house down
Bad news for sure
But I can't get enough

Verse 1:
Stumbling home, I tripped on my stilettos
Sprained my ankle dancing with the devil
Hour 23, running on no sleep
I'm only gonna crash after the party

Chorus:
Crashing my sports cars
Smashing my guitars
Gotta slow down
Before I self destruct

Turning the lights out
Burning my house down
Bad news for sure
But I can't get enough

Verse 2:
Living fast might not be worth it in the long run
When the consequences face you like a shotgun
But I got my kicks and I know where I'm headed
So if you tie me to the tracks, then I'll accept it

Chorus:
Crashing my sports cars
Smashing my guitars
Gotta slow down
Before I self destruct

Turning the lights out
Burning my house down
Bad news for sure
But I can't get enough
