about

"A peek at the thought spiral that turned into this song: sometimes it feels like things are terrible but actually they’re pretty good at least in comparison to past centuries depending on what piece of society you’re looking at but obviously we still need to make a lot of progress to get somewhere decent because so much is terrible the news fuels my depression what can we do about it how hard do we fight how do I help I don’t know but right now I feel like I’m just waiting around and I feel like we need to listen to each other more but some people just don’t deserve a platform to be listened to especially when they’re doing nothing to return the favor and thoughts and prayers and hopes and wishes aren’t enough in fact nothing seems to be enough and it’s really confusing and problems aren’t just phenomenons they come from concrete and traceable influences but it still all seems so ridiculous at times but it’s not going to make any sense until stuff starts to actually change and knowing what I want the world to look like doesn’t do as much to move us toward that world as I want it to and this sucks do we need to take it a step at a time or do we need immediate radical change I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know….” -@MiaStegner on Instagram, 2/9/19

lyrics

When I look around, I can see the signs
We are better now than ever
And yet our hearts they drown, as we wait in lines
Feeling hopeful almost never

I hope things will start to make a little more sense
I can’t keep hoping things will start to make some sense
Without some change

When I read the news, oh I get the blues
When will it get better? This is so frustrating
But while there may be rules, and we can’t be fools
This is not a game of waiting

I hope things will start to make a little more sense
I can’t keep hoping things will start to make some sense
Without some change

Do we need to take steps forward?
Or should we just stand tall and still?
Should we all take a few steps back and just listen?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I hope things will start to make a little more sense
I can’t keep hoping things will start to make some sense
Without some change

I hope things will start to make a little more sense
(We are better now than ever)
I can’t keep hoping things will start to make some sense
(And yet our hearts they drown, as we wait in lines
Feeling hopeful almost never)
Without some change
