Songwriter’s Struggle (feat. Einstein the Mastermind)
[Lyrics stolen from Ben Visini's Bandcamp]
Ben:
Time to sit and write the words that I'll sing
Fuck it all, I didn’t get one damn thing
Start a new song, maybe that's what I need
Thirty failed ideas later, this isn't for me
Need to make that one track that I know will blow up
But when live shows are back, you won’t be showing up
And I crave affirmation from those who din't give a shit
Which is why this one needs to be a hit
Running out of thing's to write
Rhyme supply is running t- w- l- light
Even if I filled the page
You won't like it anyways
Creativity's dead
Stopping while I'm ahead
And by that I mean not even close
I've never been so royally blocked
New ideas out of stock
How long ‘til I'm back?
Who knows
Einstein:
Hey what’s up bro, how you been
Ben:
Man I’ve been struggling
Trying to find the words to make this song begin
Einstein:
Shit bro, man we've all been there
Hell I’m in the same spot right now
Got this great beat, feeling so inspired
Tryna make the crowd go oh wow
Right when I open up my notepad to jot down a few ideas
My mind went blank, couldn't find the tempo, now I'm in tears
I started just to think for a second “What could do stop my fears”
Then a nice thought came across my mind
I should go down to Ikea
Find some weird furniture to get my mind pumping
So I started just to make my way
Realized I could use a drink and a bite to eat
So I stopped at Subway
Bought a footlong, then I went along
Oh shit, left my keys at the house
Turned around, found em next to my laptop still playing all these dope sounds
Then I thought “Ok maybe this is right”
Set up my mic just to see if maybe I could let it out
Then I realized that I got right to recording
When I don't know what the song’s about
I went to message you, but instead opened up Youtube
You wouldn't believe what is in the news
69's trying to overthrow the government
Wait, wait, wait
What the fuck are we talking about again?
Ben:
Running out of new ideas
Can I join you at Ikea?
As long as we're over there
Get some meatballs and a chair
Creativity's dead
I ain't making no bread
Speaking of which, I'm starting to crave
A footlong from Subway as well
But we both can tell
This song needs to be saved
Einstein:
Oh fuck
Theres a deadline
Gotta get this shit done in a week
While we're bullshit talking bout Subway
We should finish this as we speak
Ben:
Yeah
I've been so distracted talking bout inaction
Wanna write a song but I don't think I'm able
Need more options, more than Ikea's wide selection of chairs and tables
Einstein:
Yeah they're pretty stable, speaking of which
I just saw a video the other day
Of a guy breaking into his local store
Breaking all the tables then he ran away
Ben:
Yeah I saw that, he was running with an axe
Swung at furniture yelling “RACHEL TAKE ME BACK!!!”
Fuck it I don't wanna write this song anymore, let's just go to that store
Hey man, do you wanna go together? Do you want a ride?
Einstein:
Yeah man, as long as we stop by Subway
I mentioned it earlier, and for some reason I just can't get it out of my head
Ben:
Oh, totally! Me too. I hope we meet Axe Guy at Ikea today
