Backstory -
"Good Intentions" dates back to nearly three years ago. It was the third song started for this entire project. (The first being "Just About Done" from my previous album Breaking Through The Glass and the second one has yet to be released).
Lyrically, "Good Intentions" is one of my more bitter numbers, and I wrote it during a rather frustrating time in my life. Musically, the song was a bit of a writing challenge for me. I wanted to write a song that was deliberately out of my comfort zone in terms of musical style. Using drum samples, authentically gritty vocals, and, unusually for me, a shorter and to-the-point song length, I'd like to say I've met this goal.
Lyrics -
I've watched you turn this society into a disaster.
When it comes to screwing up, you're a seasoned master.
No matter how much I've tried to rise above you it's no good.
Cause you've sunken lower than anyone should.
Chorus: I regret that I've wasted all my years in here.
Cause good intentions don't count when all the good's disappeared.
I wish you all the worst in life, may you never find success.
Cause you've turned my paradise into one infernal mess.
One day you're gonna find yourself all out of luck.
So if there's one last thing to say to you, I think you suck!
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
