Ethan's Descent Feat. Chris Carrigan
Song about a troubled young person named Ethan and his 'descent;' features one of my old band member's singing vocals-- Chris Carrigan. He also helped me make this original beat.
Alternative White Pianist-Rapper
Hey. My name is Peter "Po" Smeallie. I used to perform in a band known as "Chameleon" back in middle school and high school. After that, I started making some tunes that incorporate rap lyrics, rock, and some jazz/pop. For the most part, much of my songs are either renditions of older songs or stream-of-consciousness raps.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song after realizing I that shared the same frustrations that Ethan has (whoever this Ethan guy is). Realistically, I was motivated by a particular rotten night I had sometime in the past.
Lyrics
CHRIS CARRIGAN (Singing)
For you...my love, I'd do anything
But it won't come to that...no it won't come to that.
His eyes are false, see. His eyes are changing.
MASTER PO/P4 (RAP VERSE)
They called him Ethan...he was the king!
A good guy who had everything.
He had friends and family who supported him.
Intelligence, good health, and hope there for him
when he felt down or split from reality
and felt the world was just a great fallacy
and the only cure to his own malady
was to spit game, score, and ditch all morality.
Feign every grin, drink every gin.
Strain to give everyday a great spin
when ultimately his game would backfire
and burn him out like dead flesh on a pyre...
GOD!!!
He was so frustrated
So self-hating, jaded, berated
So far out left field from the bases
he'd sprint over the mound to the home plate
just to win, then grin again.
But what did he care
he was so indifferent and so pissed off
he couldn't even give in,
even if he fell apart in the end.
Cause he had nothing to lose
And when you hit rock bottom...why the battle, dude?
why even avoid such a bad attitude
when tricks and no treats
treat you like a Halloween with no sweets
so Ethan broke down, and blew out steam,
and every hope, goal, and dream...
till he ripped apart, right from the seam,
and then came clean, and realized
that his grass was really green
Greener than it's EVER been!!
MASTER PO/P4 (Speaking)
I'd like to thank Chris Carrigan for featuring on this track. And while I'm at that, I should probably let you know there is no Ethan. I made him up. I thought I'd come clean on that one. Who Ethan really was shall remain a mystery. Anyway, enjoy yourselves, everyone, and good night.
CHORUS
("His eyes are false, see...his eyes are changing")
