Another up-tempo single (132 bpm), which was created around a jam. Lyrically, the focus is on quarantine - and the diminishing marginal utility of hedonic pleasures. Written in 2021 and released as a single in April 2023.
lyrics
INNER SWEETS
The world is empty.
I’m gaining weight and drinking wine.
It’s all about distance now,
quarantine on valentine
The kids will grow up like this
and we fail to maintain our youth.
What was it that we’re waiting for
while we get lost so short of truth?
I’m tired of hedonic pleasure.
Gimme something new and special!
Happiness is an empty goal,
Happiness is Netflix for the soul.
I’m here for the inner sweets!
I’m here for the inner sweets!
I’m here for the higher deeds!
Oh come on, it’s all I need to get along!
It’s Tuesday or Monday,
we don’t care what is true.
We’re so tired of waiting
and still that’s all we do…
I’m here for the inner sweets!
I’m here for the inner sweets!
I’m here for intellectual tweets!
Ah come on let’s dance away our social needs!
---
I’m here for the inner sweets!
Just here for the bitter seeds!
I’m here for the thinner beats!
Oh come on, it’s all I need to get along!
