about

Beats' is all of my self-doubt and self-confidence living together in a poppy little package. It's all the voices in my head speaking at once. I get so worked up sometimes it can be hard to see things for what they really are. I think this song is basically saying that you can be deeply vulnerable and completely strong at the same time. It can seem confusing but sometimes you just have to feel all your feelings and then step back, take a deep breath and keep on going.

lyrics

- Lyrics:
Oh I think it’s courageous of you
Your thoughts are contagious
When you don’t really know what to do
But you keep going through the stages
anyway, anyday (I wish I was ooo)
Anyone else instead of myself
I keep feeling

The beats beats
You’re gonna hurt yourself, it’s not your birthday baby
The beats beats
If there is nothing wrong, why am I down so long

If I could ever be honest
There is not enough space or time
I could row down the river of our secrets
For miles and miles and miles
said there is no virtue with no drawn lines
said that no one could hurt you
But I do it all the time

The beats beats
You’re gonna hurt yourself, it’s not your birthday baby
The beats beats
If there is nothing wrong, why am I down so long

And anyway, anyday (I wish I was oo)
Anyone else instead of myself (I wish I was oo)
Anyway, anyday (I wish I was oo)
Anyone else instead of myself (I wish I was oo)
But I keep feeling

The beats beats
You’re gonna hurt yourself, it’s not your birthday baby
The beats beats
If there is nothing wrong, why am I down so long
