about

Despite being a large person who takes up a lot of space I still have the ability to be utterly unnoticed at social gatherings. As a shy person, it can be a helpful talent but it can also make me feel bad about myself. So I wrote a song about it. I am most likely writing this blurb for nobody to read because nobody is going to notice this new song.

lyrics

I am pretty socially awkward
I will be the first to admit
I've never been good with people
In fact, I know I'm pretty shit
I try to be a part of things
Even though it makes me feel ill
What I have learned about myself
I have an involuntary skill
Sometimes I do sometimes I don't
Find this skill to be acceptable
When I'm at a social gathering
I'm completely imperceptible

It seems that I'm invisible
social situations I'm unseen
Sometimes that works in my favour
Yet Sometimes I just want to scream
I can walk right into a party
Be amazed at what I've achieved
I'm surrounded by all these people
Yet i'm completely unperceived

inconspicuous, unobserved
I can be pretty unobtrusive
The ability to be unseen
My experience is conclusive
I feel unwanted I feel ignored
I feel completely unwelcome
I'm not sure why I would even try
I feel oh um what's the word? Well dumb
I am the ghost that haunts your event
I am a big fat hairy spectre
I need armour against this feeling
I need a valiant protector

It seems that I'm invisible
social situations I'm unseen
Sometimes that works in my favour
Yet Sometimes I just want to scream
I can walk right into a party
Be amazed at what I've achieved
I'm surrounded by all these people
Yet I'm completely unperceived

Invited to a birthday party
I thought it would be nice to do
It was at this place I'd never been
And mostly people I hardly knew
It is hard to get to know people
When they are all loudly playing games
It would be nice to make some friends
But I only got to learn their names
I still tried to relax and have fun
My anxiety was overblown
I wasn't told they were all leaving
I was left at the party alone

It seems that I'm invisible
social situations I'm unseen
Sometimes that works in my favour
Yet Sometimes I just want to scream
I can walk right into a party
Be amazed at what I've achieved
I'm surrounded by all these people
Yet I'm completely unperceived

about

Blindedbylife Ottawa, Ontario

I guess this is the place where I tell you a bit about myself and my music. But I am not really good and explaining things. For a song writer I am not always good with my words, which is probably why I am rambling a bit right now. Oh crap I seem to be running out of characters and I haven't really told you anything yet. I still have a bit of space so I guess I should at least say that my music is ... more
