about

A sultry, piano driven song about feeling bored and misdirected. Although the lyrics sound like they’re about quarantine, Erika wrote the song about feeling lost after graduating college in 2019.

lyrics

I’m going nowhere growing uninspired, unrealistic
Expectations of how life should probably have gone thus far
I’m done with reading and arithmetic-tick-tick
Cause time is ticking worried sick about the future and the fact that art is hard

Woo hoo,
There’s a divot in my bed where I have laid in daze for days and days
So unamazed and lazy am I

Woo hoo
You’re so motivated oh I hate it
Made it up the corporate ladder on-and-on-and-on

But here I sit
This useless shit to pass the time
Another day
I waste away and don’t know why

I took up Minesweeper and reading graphic novels
I clean the house the kitchen counter 'til it sparkles
And though I think that there are some who can relate
There still are others up at 8 who brush their teeth and lift their weights

But here I sit
This useless shit to pass the time
Another day
I waste away and don’t know why

Woo Hoo
This hiatus was the greatest mistake I have ever made
I live in fear that it could all fall apart

Woo hoo
Common company that probably thought I died is still alive
And thriving on-and-on-and-on

But here I sit
This useless shit to pass the time
Another day
I waste away and don’t know why
