As Good As It Gets (Imposter Syndrome Anonymous) [bonus]

about

All creatives know the struggle. Though this is more.. specifically targeted at my fellow music producers...
good luck out there everyone

lyrics

they said go out and chase your dreams
despite being eighteen
just like that it's done
you're done
well
that ship is gone

but here we all are
still hoping in our weakness
that maybe we're better than we thought

there's a place on a playlist
or some Vegas DJ's guestlist
or any other lie that we have bought

they'll listen if I keep it up
all it takes is simple luck
but now you're gonna learn
what we weren't taught

this is as good as it gets
so save up all of your tips
getting too wasted
so we don't have to face it

this is as good as it gets
yeah, we all should admit it
no one's even listening
my parents are the cheer team

and your dreams have gone bad
ringing hollow again and again
while you chase the latest fads
we'll have nothing in the end

so the years have past
like a personal attack
now you fight the trends
but lay awake at night

pushing on at any cost
waiting to become the boss
and though it's self defeating
the message bears repeating:

there's no place on a playlist
no record deals to miss
that crate of CDs no one else
has bought

if all it takes is simple luck
you're out of time to get unstuck
the trap has sprung
but maybe that's what you want

this is as good as it gets
so save up all of your tips
getting too wasted
so we don't have to face it

this is as good as it gets
yeah, we all should admit it
ideas no one will miss
probably should delete this

and your dreams have gone bad
ringing hollow again and again
while you chase the latest fads
we'll have nothing in the end

flipping through the presets
(yoiiiii)
trying to write the big hits
releases coming too slow
you're gone before you even know

that no one ever breaks through
this song will never find you
sitting on a big stage
sun's setting on another day
