Lyrics

[Intro]

[Sound of a vinyl record crackling. A warm, jazzy Rhodes piano melody. A smooth lo-fi hip hop beat and a groovy baseline enter. Ethereal female "oohs" float in the background with reverb throughout the song.]

[Verse 1]

Kinda a shame, that I don’t really care

Not even a friendship, after all those years.

Being with you, for the brief time we shared

Was a total mind trip, and a waste of my air.

I knew early on, I had to break free.

Can’t believe I gave grace, instead of saving me.

[Pre-Chorus]

[The groove gets deeper.The vocals more assertive, deeper and soulful.]

Little red flags, little white lies,

Your real representative, I honestly despise.

[Chorus]

[Even more soulful and powerful with reverb and 808-heavy]

Should’ve kept my peace, where I was content.

Instead, I gave you the chance, that was never heaven-sent.

I’m not even mad, never even sad,

I’m just glad to be totally free.

I’m so relieved I dodged a bullet

That was never meant to be.

[Verse 2]

Tried to ignore it, ‘til I realized

This would be MY life. That was my sign.

At that point, I didn’t even like you.

But I still tried to be kind.

You played in my face, with your lies and your games.

Two minutes with you felt like a hundred long days.

[Bridge- THE GLITCH]

[Reverb. The lofi beat stutters, slows down, and dies. A deep, distorted 808 bass hums ominously. The Rhodes piano becomes detuned and dissonant. Baltasar's voice is now a raw, pitched-down, almost rude sarcastic whispher]

Should’ve seen it coming, yeah

Your behavior so unappealing, gave me reason to leave.

All that time I wasted, I’ll never repeat.

Now I know my peace is something to protect and keep.

[Pre-Chorus]

[The groove gets deeper.The vocals more assertive, deeper, more powerful and soulful. Ad-libs.]

Little red flags (yeah-yeah)

Little white lies (mmm)

Your real representative, I honestly despise.

[Chorus]

[The groove more deep. The vocals become more passionate, soulful, climatic and taunting.]

Should’ve kept my peace, where I was content.

Instead I gave you a chance, that was never heaven-sent.

I’m not even mad (no)

Never even sad (no tears)

I’m just glad to be totally free (so free).

I’m so relieved I dodged a bullet

that was never meant to be.

[Outro]

[The original lofi beat and bassline crash back in, but faster, more desperate. Baltasar's voice is now raw, powerful, bluesy, climatic cry. The female echos are more chaotic. Reverb.]

Dodged a bullet… yeah, I did

Kept my peace… now I live

No regrets… no lookin’ back

I’m too blessed… for that.
