During the lockdown, I wrote a Conscious/Alt Hip-Hop album on which I rap about personal struggles...
Finding the right time for me to share these songs has not been easy, but I feel that now is the time.
These new tracks present a very different side of my personality.
I am very proud of them and that is why I am sharing them with you' all now. 🦘 🤩
"West Goes the sun" is the first single of the Album. 🌅
lyrics
“WEST GOES THE SUN”
(Music &Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
CHORUS
Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.
Memories seem to be the same, again I’m lost in the game.
West goes the sun, wo___oh, I’m picking you up, let’s go!
VERSE 1
Obnubilated by the rise and falls,
Only a fool can pretend he knows it all.
Magnified by the gratitude, I have for living a life fully consumed.
I fell many times but rose back up again.
Again and again and again and again.
I’m living for those moments of steady rise and
Dread the times when I fall from the skies.
Got myself a seatbelt and a safety net.
For those dramatic falls, I can cope with it.
It happens less than it use to be,
I guess I’m copying better than ever with the mechanism.
I venture now on these new avenues,
Avoiding those that left me there and played the goons.
I developed a defence mechanism.
Protecting myself from those criticism.
CHORUS
Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.
Memories seem to be the same, again I’m lost in the game.
West goes the sun, wo___oh, I’m picking you up, let’s go!
VERSE 2
I guess I am more the wiser, elevated by desire.
I stop wasting like a loser, trapped in my imagination.
Need to find a motivation, draw the line, set boundaries
Between reality and dreams.
Looking forward to the moments, took for granted if you ask,
Mistakes are written in the past, feeling like a new beginning.
Hearts broken in the way, it wasn’t fair to run astray.
Wasn’t something to be proud of, now I look at it from above.
Young, fearless, careless, free. With addictive personality.
Today I look at life from a totally different angle.
I’ve grown into someone new, respectable that is true.
Respect myself first, then others around me second.
CHORUS
Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.
Memories seem to be the same, again I’m lost in the game.
West goes the sun, wo___oh, I’m picking you up, let’s go!
