Listen to this song, and let it fill you. This is my song of summer 2016, when I had just been freed from the immense burden that is GCSE revision.
I don't like thinking about the future, and for most of my life I have got away with not having had to. Now I'm at a point where I have to plan, and that is the temporal magic of which I speak.
lyrics
Now that it's all over, now that it's all done
I fill my days with clover, tryna find a lucky one
Look up at the sky and make palaces out of clouds
I can turn all of my attention into time now
Half the time I'm feeling real fantastic, reaping thrills from this temporal magic
The other half of the time, I'm acting drastic; you know it's really kinda kinda tragic
(Oh-oh lost in a timeless space, vanished without a trace
Follow me when I disappear, it's kinda lonely here)
My palms are earthy, I'm barefoot to the core
Running through the woods as if I'm human no more
Decorate my skin with feathers and holograms
And the wind will finally whisper "who's a bad, bad man?"
Half the time I'm feeling real fantastic, reaping thrills from this temporal magic
The other half of the time, I'm acting drastic; you know it's really kinda kinda tragic
(Oh-oh lost in a timeless space, vanished without a trace
Follow me when I disappear, it's kinda lonely here)
Lonely here (x8)
I had a dream I was by the sea in a warehouse somewhere across the blue-green
There was no one apart from me and a girl with her curls a shade of rose-cream
Oh-oh lost in a timeless space, vanished without a trace
Follow me when I disappear, it's kinda lonely here
