One Big Letdown
10
Artist:Dave
Duration:3:28
Tags:Slow-burn alt-pop ballad with male vocals; intimate piano and soft pads in the verses,then drums and warm bass blooming in the chorus. Subtle distorted guitars color the edges on the hook,with airy background harmonies lifting key lines. Final chorus pulls instruments back for a fragile,near-a cappella moment before a gentle full-band swell on the last tagline.
[Verse 1] Wake up Same ceiling crack Coffee tastes like cardboard All these plans pinned on the fridge Curl at the corners Told myself "this year's mine" Like every tired December But the mirror just shrugs Like it can't remember [Chorus] Life is just one big letdown Dress it up It still falls through Every high feels halfway hollow Every win still tastes like "you should've done more too" If this is what they called a dream somehow Life is just one big letdown [Verse 2] Mom calls Asks how I've been I say "fine " change the subject Scroll through strangers buying houses From a basement budget Birthday candles Same old wish Blow them out The smoke just hangs Room goes back to normal Nothing really changed [Chorus] Life is just one big letdown Dress it up It still falls through Every high feels halfway hollow Every win still tastes like "you should've done more too" If this is what they called a dream somehow Life is just one big letdown [Bridge] Maybe it's me Maybe it's the script Lines were written I just never fit But I'll show up again To this rusty merry-go-round Pay my ticket Take my turn For another letdown [Chorus] Life is just one big letdown Say it soft It still rings true Every high feels halfway hollow Every laugh has quiet shaking underneath the room If this is what they called a dream somehow Guess I'm wide awake here Watching it crash down Life is just one big letdown
