Sometimes life feels really deficient. Where you can feel trapped. I think this is highlighted when growing pains are kicking your butt. I don't mean physical growing pains, I mean the growing of self and being aware that you might have over stayed your welcome in a place, or relationship, etc. This deficiency that you feel with life, work, and people doesn't always allow you to make the best decisions. It doesn't always allow you to just become unstuck. Most of the time you have to sit in whatever you are feeling and hope that you come out a little stronger because of the process.
The second track of the album is a song I wrote after a really bad week at work. I wrote it because I absolutely felt crazy. I was not feeling successful or accomplished in my work, my music, my personal life. Every aspect of me was not in an ideal place, my future was looking pretty 'Blurry'. I think that I became fed up with where I was going and the direction that seemed like the next step. In the song I wanted to describe what it might feel like if I just let go of everything and basically get so wrecked that everything wrong just becomes a big blur or cloud of smoke. You don't think about it anymore, you know the way a person would abuse a substance (drink or smoke ,insert various items) I wanted to write a song that took me out of the state of my mind and my reality and put me in a higher kind of outer body state of mind. To have a look at what I had become. On the surface I was "doing just fine" but deep inside I was a big blurry mess.
Blurry by: Ebony Nicole
Verse:
static on the screen
I've been hearing voices calling out to me
Chemical delay, something happening deep inside my brain
chorus:
Here's a glimpse of it
Take it all in , you know i'm doing just fine
Want another hit, I'll pass if you need it, you know i'm doing just fine
Verse2:
The fog has settled in (fog has settled in)
Friends keep asking me if i'll go out again
Feel the weight inside
nothing ’s happening this might take awhile
chorus:
Here's a glimpse of it
Take it all in , you know i'm doing just fine
Take another hit, I'll pass if you need it, you know i'm doing just fine
Bridge:
Higher than I've ever been
Take me higher, higher than i've ever been
chorus:
Here's a glimpse of it
Take it all in , you know i'm doing just fine
Take another hit, I'll pass if you need it, you know i'm doing just fine

This was me 2023 in NYC at a recording studio living my dream and feeling so over work, music, and myself.
