Stayne Falls

Acoustic side project focused on growth, exploration and annoying the shit out of people.

Inspiration can hit at the strangest times. Lately I've been inspired by some pretty offbeat memories, experiences, readings and ideas. My hope is that I can blend them with the words in my heart and stake my claim of originality. That being said, this is overflow parking. Here, have a seat.

Story behind the song

It was just one of those spur of the moment rants that I eventually sat down and heavily revised. It's a very poppy song and has a cliched backstory, but it's one of the more solid songs I've written. I remember being so excited about it when I wrote it that I called my stepsister in Atlanta (I was living in Canada at the time) and reading off the lyrics proudly.

Lyrics

I wake up 
And my radio’s still playing
It’s the only thing I listen to 
I get up 
And again the world is saying
I got to be somebody who
Is presentable, pleasing and trainable
A demographic that can spend
I am only my possessions 
And I’d rather stay in bed

I feel so disconnected
An error in full view
It’s almost like I’m wrong to
Think my opinion matters too

Drives me nuts 
That I’m expected to give in
And let the world just pass me by
I give a fuck
And I’m not waiting to begin
There’s no such thing as a free ride
I’m standing up for my rights all the time
Every second of every day
I’m your freedom of expression
Ignore me and I’ll go away

I feel so disconnected
An error in full view
It’s almost like I’m wrong to 
Think my opinion matters too
