about

Sometimes, when I'm crushing on someone, I feel like that by doing good deeds and helping others I can curry the universe's favour; I can be 'owed' by Karma, and therefore have better luck with whoever I'm crushing on. Of course this is completely ridiculous, and doing good things should not be contingent on one's romantic quests; we should be kind and help one another regardless of anything else. Despite this, my brain still decides that doing good deeds can make me more attractive, and so this song stands as a testimony to the folly of thought and karma, the illogicalness of the mind and the heart. And love and stuff.

lyrics

The stars hold no secrets
The world doesn't care
As I try to play out
The saint
And though no one's watching
For the one I love
I'll wait

And I smile a little to the side
Today I'll be lucky
Lucky me
And I know I'll get you
Because Karma owes me a favour
You see

It's a strange place we live in
The poor feed the rich
And people fighting
Don't give an inch
But through all of this
No virtue and no sin

And now I'll never
Get you
Because it was me that owed the favour
Because I'm no saviour
Karma was never on my side
Now I see

The universe
In all its beauty
Is still imperfect
To me
It cannot know
What you mean to me

When I write a song
Some words and a tune
Do I write it for me
Or do I write it for you?
