about

“Idle” is a hypnotic, reggae-rock ballad — big basslines, creative riffs, and a horn-driven finale that turns quiet isolation into a universal, cathartic moment. For Lonely souls seeking connection..

lyrics

Wooh ooh hoo ooh ooh woo,
Wooh ooh hoo ooh ooh woo,

Another tune, another song,
Just trying to write, I’m plodding along,
Not trying to write no, a top 100 stun,
Just a melody to sing, relate with everyone,
Not really sad, but I'm not really thrown,
Just trying to express that state, I feel when I’m alone,

Wooh ooh hoo ooh ooh woo,
Whoa ooh oooOOO ooh whoa,

Solitary, it’s just me, myself, and I,
Perhaps I'll spark a joint and float up high in the sky,
Not feeling down, but I’ve been a little shook,
Possibly, I’ll turn the page of another unfinished book,
Not even 3 and I feel another yawn,
My focus through the window, on the bugs upon the lawn,

Searching for a brighter day,
Will you be my friend today?
Just searching for a lighter day,
Won’t you help me find a way?

Wooh ooh hoo ooh ooh woo,
Whoa ooh oooOOO ooh whoa,

Pick up the clicker, I turn the fish tank on,
It tells me something about some deaths, and an automatic gun,
Open the paper, I should probably read some news,
It’s all repeating by page 4, I’ve already got the blues,
Might find some solace, with my dogs upon a walk,
Bump into some strangers, they may even wanna talk,

Searching for a brighter day,
Will you be my friend today?
Just searching for a lighter day,
Won’t you help me find a way?

I get in my door,
I'm lying in the dark,
Not a single fucking human,
Was at the goddamn park,
I feel vibrations,
Reach across my unmade bed,
The possibility I’m not alone,
Is running through my head,
I swipe it open,
Maybe it’ll be of use,
But it was just reminding me,
That it was out of juice…

Searching for a brighter day,
Will you be my friend today?
Just searching for a lighter day,
Won’t you help me find a way?

Searching for a brighter day,
Will you be my friend today?
Just searching for a lighter day,
Won’t you help me find a way?
