about

Don't Know Me at All is inspired by Breaking Bad. I finally finished the show and felt inspired to write something that not only captured the monotony of the show and Southwestern desert landscape but the zeitgeist of the Corona lockdown period.

lyrics

Sometimes I lose my mind with all the time I have on my hands
It isn't easy living life especially without a plan
I'm pacing back and forth inside the cage that is in my head

The work is easy but the hours are long and I'm bored to death
I'm on the third season of breaking bad and I'm bored to death
If the apocalypse is here then maybe this is the end

Chorus:
You sleep beside me but you don't know me at all
We eat together but you don't know me at all
You think you love me but you don't know me at all
And I can't help you cuz I don't love me at all

Is it Monday or Friday
I don't know I think I lost track
Who knew the new playstation
Was the straw that broke her back
She loves the way I kiss her but she hates the way I detach
And never come back

We all have contradictions
Some of us have more than the rest
She does what gives her pleasure
And I do what I think is best
My memories are faded
But her mind is sharp as a tack
She never forgets

Chorus:
You sleep beside me but you don't know me at all
We eat together but you don't know me at all
You think you love me but you don't know me at all
And I can't help you cuz I don't love me at all
