High Contrast Songtext
von New Junk City

I will no longer be a sad sack 30-something
Who′s still stuck leaning on all the self-hate I found when I was 21
Back then, I thought all I deserved, or would become, was
A gutter drunk – a lonely, un-loveable fuckup

The contrast's high enough to see
All the lies being sold to me
I′ve got everything I need
I've got a life I finally want
And I can start to believe


So, where does it leave me?
Stuck in reverse with the gas tank empty
And there it goes again, that "woe is me", that lack of agency
I put a limit on this, call it a past life and move on from it
Open the drawer - just burn the pages, I don't need them anymore

The contrast′s high enough to see
All the lies being sold to me
I′ve got everything I need
I've got a life I finally love
And I can start to believe
I′ve got everything I need
I've got a life I finally want
And I can start to believe
