about

We aren't exactly paragons

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Watching the sunset
Psychedelic sort of palette
We spend all our time connecting the dots
But we don’t know what the picture is going to turn out to be

Nostalgia glasses on
We aren’t exactly paragons
Carry the weight and see the results
Of mistakes that were made to protect society

CHORUS:
All those things I could’ve done but
Instead of reflecting I just tried to forget

All those things I should've done
I know I will always regret

VERSE 2:
Watching the clouds go by
Mankind has never learned to fly
The beginning of the year we are born anew
But we die in winter no matter what we do

Oh sweet maiden by the sea
Don’t drown in front of me
‘Cause the tide’s coming in and it’s too late to save you
And I feel so hopeless when you’re far away from me

CHORUS [x2]:
All those things I could’ve done but
Instead of reflecting I just tried to forget

All those things I should’ve done
I know I will always regret

about

Manoli Despines Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My name is Manoli and I use an OP-1, miniKORG-37, Ableton Live 9/Logic Pro X, and a guitar to make music. I haven't made music in a long time because of my lack of free time and how much I feel like I need to drastically improve as a musician, so I'm on a bit of hiatus, but I promise I'll be back sometime soon. Feel free to follow me on the accounts listed below, where I am much more active. ... more
