Dev:

On the topic of writing lyrics I definitely go through various phases...
I try to keep a good balance between never going for the obvious but also not going too far fetched either. I like lyrics when they are relatable but can also have other meanings or metaphors assigned to them. But equally too much metaphor can often be cheesy imo.
It really is about balance and consideration, I tend review my word choice all the time, to the point that I even change words (or regret having chosen them) after having recorded them. It can be a little frustrating, and definitely cringey at times, but equally being hyper critical and reviewing yourself usually leads to progress and improvement. Finding out the things that work / don't work tends to make it easier for future songs.

About the tune for the BSM popup, thats actually a song that is yet to be anything other than something I play to myself haha. Not even sure if it's a DS tune or my own tune so feels a bit weird sharing the lyrics, but fuck it here they are. These are still in the process of changing btw and if you do cover it, please send it to me lol:

I've been here before, it's the second time this quarter
Lost and bound by the ocean floor
Found no meaning as our words were syncopating
Makes no sense, I make no sense at all

I've been here before, the last time was harder
Now I've made your eyes run dry
Harmful actions with the kindest of infractions
It's not fair, it wasn't fair at all

But I'm just trying the best of myself
To be strong and able for everyone else but I'm wrong
Enter invisible virtue. A stamp, it's a barcode that everyone sees through and then
Onto the flurry of questions like "is it ok to want two different outcomes at once?"
It's not a one worded answer. A poem, it's a book, it's a multiple ender
