A nostalgic pop punk single that glistens with gorgeous production saturated with layers of harmonies, "Blink" is a wistful escape back to the 90s and early 2000s alternative rock scene. Guided by Anji's siren song of a voice, and combined with gut wrenching lyrics that pack a powerful punch, “Blink” is a song you won’t be able to get out of your head once you’ve taken a dive into its colorful depths.
lyrics
I’ve been listening to Blink again and Coldplay
Trying to sing all my thoughts away
‘Cause I’ve been broken and wounded in a new way
And I don’t know how to tell you I’m not okay...
So I’ve been staying up late again
With all my friends
Not getting any sleep, only sleeping in
If I had some kind of substance, I would use it
But all I’ve got is 90s music.
And I was lost in my head again,
When we were talking.
This was some sick kind of violation,
To rob me of honesty in all my conversations…
Because I know what happened in the darkness
Now all this darkness is supermassive
It’s pulling me in
Every time I blink, it’s pulling me in
And I just blinked again
I just blinked again
So I’ve been laying on the floor again
Getting lost inside my head
Thinking about all the things I trusted
Why did I trust them?
Maybe, baby, I’m better off only believing in fiction
Cause in the blink of an eye, everything changed
I woke up and the world was strange
Now nothing around me feels the same
All I did was Blink and I was swept away
And I know what happened in the darkness
Now all this darkness is supermassive
It’s pulling me in
Every time I blink, it’s pulling me in
And I just blinked again
I just blinked again
But I won’t be a victim
I refuse it
I have a voice, and I’m gonna use it
Oh oh oh…
In the blink of an eye, everything changed
I woke up and the world was strange
Now nothing around me feels the same
All I did was Blink and I was swept away
Because I know what happened in the darkness
Now all this darkness is supermassive
It’s pulling me in
Every time I blink, it’s pulling me in
And I just blinked again
I just blinked again
I just Blinked again.
