Common Days

Feeling like my life isn't my own. Kept under one minute for submission to a competition. Lyrics I am living life Through someone else's eyes This story's not my own Never was my own The paths that I can take Have all been preordained The choice was not my own Never was my own I am sick of what the world has thrown at me I am breaking out, there are no rules

I got burnt out last year. Never really recovered from it. Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Left%20Behind/ Lyrics Left behind Oh my god I'm struggling I'm left behind No one here to help me I'm a failure and I am just left to die Left behind I missed my train, I've lost my way I'm left to find My own way to paradise The gates to a good world are hard to find Why can't you just do...

These are my feelings on recently coming out as non-binary. Also this is my first time using Ableton Live instead of GarageBand Lyrics When you look at the world through a mirror Do you look the same You're too big, you're too square, you're too manly It drives me insane I've been finding A new word, a new phrase, to describe who I am I am something Not a sir, not a ma'am, but the middle When you...

A cover of Fang's song 12 o'clock from the game Goodbye Volcano High https://dabuaudio.bandcamp.com/track/12-oclock-ft-lachlan-watson

I was inspired by a conversation with Reed in the game Goodbye Volcano High, about what the point of everything is if the world is gonna end. Why do we still care when we know life is temporary, a flash in a pan? Well, I don't know, but I have a song. Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/We%20Are%20Here/ Lyrics And so what if it's all just a dream We still did the best we could And s...

Some call and response

The original version of the main melody

Yes it's about Blåhaj in case you're wondering - Lyrics - It's a cozy night and I'm snuggling my thoughts away Twas a stressful day and I need a way to drift away Suddenly, I'm struggling to keep my fears at bay After all, you cannot talk, you're just a children's toy You've got blue skin body of polymer and sewn on eyes Brings me back to the innocence of simpler times Hold you softly in my arms,...

This is a song from early transition. I wasn't very sure of myself, and I felt very insecure confronting my gender. Written 2018, only completed in 2023. - Lyrics - [Verse] Another day, another morning The same old hat and same old coat Deep down, I still get the feeling I’m missing something I can’t find By the sink, up at the mirror I see a shadow of myself From my face, down to my body There's...

All together now!

I took Kip's lyrics from the webcomic Duncan and Eddie and put them into song, adding my own to fill the blanks. Recorded in Audacity for authenticity - Lyrics - Quiet with you is warmer than a bonfire Monochrome fur made my heart rate run high[1] I am blushing now Your calm presence is what I prefer I can't stop thinking bout your black and white fur[2] and your ponytail Every day I look at you i...

I was quite lonely and depressed, but then this melody came into my head and I felt calmer. Same melody as Blue, but piano only. Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Snow/

I've always wanted to make a bossa-nova sounding song

this isn't about a person, but a place - Lyrics - So long, the sun is falling, down Slow down, and watch the fire, drown In a little bit Watch the sky go burning, burning Cast a yellow glow As the waves they churning churning Sneak a little kiss As our hands they holding holding Sunlight in your eyes [Instrumental] Drive down, the winding coastal, road Hair flying as the cool breeze, blows Snap a...

A personal song about wanting to grow up again - Lyrics - If I could be small again Be in mama's arms again Nothing to do but play If I could be a kid again Make new friends again Every day's a brand new day Learning to live Learning to laugh Learning to be myself If I could grow up again Make new memories again Replacing all the thorns If I could be born again Be born a little girl Like I should...

A Christmas song from someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas - Lyrics - On this foggy winter morning I was riding on my bike I don't believe in magic But the world's a pretty sight I hear cheerful people singing I hear rustling in the trees I see ferries on the water Hiding in the gentle mist Though I ain't got turkey dinners Ain't got presents nor a tree I still wish you a merry Christmas Eve [u...

I am so tired of being an adult... Basically this picture as a song: https://twitter.com/PandorasArtbox/status/1249357515457990656 - Lyrics - When I was a young girl I wished on magic Nothing in the world is Too far for me The growing stack Of school and work and obligations Am I ever good enough I looked into the night sky I saw the constellations The hunter, vase, and fishes Told me their storie...

- Lyrics - 7 am the sun is shining through my bedroom window Beckoning me to take a look Why is it suddenly that there's a song inside my heart The little bird singing 'bout hope It's a good day And I feel like I'm myself again It's a new day I can start over again

My friend Alpha send me a recording of him playing the keyboard. I had to make it into a full song - Lyrics - Sulphur rain Pouring down Without grace Meteors Broken land What a shame

As a trans girl, the road to become my true self is long and winding, and without much help from family. - Lyrics - In a forest, lost alone Wandering through nowhere alone Give a little light guide me Another lonesome night cried me All these social norms tied me To my older self hide me To my mom and dad lied me For a better time bide me Showing who I am pride me The boy inside of me died here

This song is a short interlude for a larger song that I’m working on. The song is about my experience being trans, hence the colours. I’m waiting. Waiting for the waiting list for a psychologist, waiting for bureaucracy, waiting to get a diagnosis, waiting to get on hormones, etc. But also, waiting for people to accept me.
