Eyce - Late One Lyrics

It's weird that a certain set of notes placed on beat and repeated
To create a pattern isn't recognized as a pattern by our minds
Even if certain parts begin to, it fades, and we are aware instantly
"Something is slightly off"
You can look at the pattern on paper and it looks fine
But we can't escape the "off putting" feel
There is no difference
Using quarter and half notes
That's all this beat is doing
One hour of repetition
Still weird
Let's go back
As a matter of fact, pause quick
Let's reset
Okay better
I spent 5 hours trying to create an intro to a song, and this all I got
A single note with the simplest drum pattern ever
And it still didn't sound right
It wasn't what I imagined when I thought of all the amazing music I've heard
But as I listened over and over though
I started to hear what the music was saying
This was right
This made me think
This simple tune was opening doors in my mind with no effort
I kept thinking, came back the next day, started writing down what it was telling me
3 hours on this beat
The pattern is actually beginning to make some sense
Cool
Will I master it?
My intuition tells me yea
If I intentionally created a chaotic complex pattern, could I keep up?
Would it one day sound like music?
Is this music?
What is music?
Something we listen to?
I don't think anyone is gonna find this catchy
I don't know if I've listened to "music" like this before
At first, I didn't like it
Why would I?
It's bland, blank, uneventful, empty, random, unskilled, no sign of talent
A child's attempt at being Bach
I must be deaf to think this is worthy of being called music
I hear you
Don't listen to them
We are friend's now
I'm learning more about you and myself every time we are together
If they don't want you, I do
Thank you
