Black Jeans, Brown Booze
[promo single]
Released 1/27/23
Lyrics
Deifying I may be
But good gods, she's heavenly
Her blonde almost as dirty
As we are in my daydream
I never thought so high only to come so down
With her ascent so high, it made me go so down
And the most that I knew
She liked her booze brown and her jeans black
She downplayed her body
Just as slyly as her vibrati
So many leagues away from me, I thought
Now I swim in her sea
I never thought so high only to come so down
Her pedestal grew higher as my own sank down
Not for tryin' to be cool
She liked her booze brown and her jeans...
She cocked the gun so high only to shoot me down
I raised her up so high, but she just wanted down
And as far as I know
She keeps her booze brown and her jeans black

Listen: (coming soon!)
Watch: (coming soon!)
About the song
This song is about the inevitable disappointment that comes with having unrealistic expectations of someone by immediately placing them on a pedestal at first sight, idealizing them as a concept rather than a person with both strengths and flaws, etc. It's not healthy for either you or them.
This song is also about cunnilingus.
*cough*
PHUN PHACT: The opening hits spell out "SOS" in morse code, and the final ones spell out something similar in regard to the end of the song's story...
