Rabbit Holes 05:57
all night long falling down rabbit holes whoops sorry start thinking about something can't stop thinking about it won't let it go though I know I'm better off without it compulsively obsessing about obsessive compulsions don't really know if I'm really feeling real emotions in between alternate timelines this is not even my real life look I know how ridiculous it sounds but what if this is really all a simulation quickly rendered to resemble a town but every day it's just the same old boring conversations it's something I shouldn't worry about another rabbit hole I shouldn't go down another rabbit hole another rabbit hole I wasn't supposed to figure out another rabbit hole I shouldn't go down start thinking about something can't stop thinking about it can't stop thinking about it thinking about it thinking about it can't stop can't stop stop it sorry can't stop thinking sorry can't stop thinking sorry stop thinking sorry can't stop sorry sorry sorry sorry

do you seem to believe this illusion more than the normal amount? are we so deep in shallow confusion that we're confused what it's about? we never realize that anything happens unless it happens to end full of awkward and weird interactions still we're not sure if we're still friends we don't know if we know if it's over until it's already done and it wasn't until we were older when we realized we were so young when it goes around i assume it will soon come back around when it doesn't i feel like a sad clown silly smile is upside down there is no easy way to make it harder no lie is never untrue it's annoying that nobody's bothered no way around except straight through we forgot everything we remember always end up at the start maybe manage to keep it together even as we're drifting apart

don't have a clue what i'm doin' wastin' all my time wonderin' what happened to all my time and i don't know who i think i'm foolin’ because i'm the only one who's actin' a fool and i don't know why nothing ever turns out quite the way i would have liked guess it kinda feels like none of this is even real so what is the big deal? but i don't know what i would do if i didn't spend all of my time straight actin' a fool i spend a lot of time gettin' foolish and i'm actin' a fool
6.
i'm giving up giving a fuck about it i'm insecure and full of fear without it whether i do or don't i'm damned i knew you wouldn't understand why does it seem like everyone's against me? passive aggressive simultaneously if you're not sure if i'm for real well then you know just how i feel yeah i don't know what's part of the show constantly making it confusing trying too hard to be amusing i used to like it now i fucking hate it i don't remember how i got so jaded i'm getting better every day wait bitter's what i meant to say i thought the humor would help ease the tension and i'll admit i wanted your attention i may have laid it on too thick now everyone thinks i'm a dick i don't know what's part of the show either i'm blazing a new trail or it's an epic fucking fail or it's a little bit of both

\\\\ aw yeah, i'm about to hit y'all up with some truth ... but like don't worry about me or anything like that ... this is the tone i'm going for ... it's supposed a moody song and shit ya know what i mean ... yeah ... all up in the minor keys ... yeah ... check it check it out... sleepy seahorse //// i got anxiety a nervous feeling that is always up inside of me i can’t deny it’s why i seem a little strange thought i’d beat it when i reached a certain age but it won’t go quietly and it sure ain’t gonna disappur entirely the prescription medication that i'm taking ain't alleviating shit because i feel the fucking same i got anxiety \\\\ aw yeah ... know what i'm sayin?.. i mean did i adjust the levels accordingly?.. can you understand the words?.. or do you need a lyric sheet? //// i got anxiety and try to function as a member of society it’s entirely too easy to be stressed instead of breezy when i’m short of breath and dizzy and my physiology’s irregular and i haven’t even been on any painkillers but i’m thinking there’s a link between the shitty thoughts i think and my body chemistry which is commonally called anxiety i worry too much about anxiety i’m having trouble sleeping at nighety 2am and i’m up for a bite to eat gotta tiptoe around the house quietly because i’m tired but wired my milk is expired and damn yo i wanted some cereals there’s a new fucking flavor of cheerios got some cuz i’m motherfuckin curious but also motherfuckin delirious got distracted by my overactive brain telling me that i should be ashamed because i'm falling for corporate marketing you see the new flavor costs more money but it looks more delicious than honey nut second guessing myself as i walk right past the milk anxiety ain't fuckin funny what? \\\\ yeah ... that's just one example ... kind of an oddly specific example now that i think about it ... but uh ... hopefully i got my point across ... about how ... you know ... i just ... i got anxiety ////

about

Sleepy Seahorse returns again finally for the first time ever with the same album that has already been released several times but this time it's for real 100% done. Honest.

The first version of 'Awkward Obscure Unpopular' was released on January 1st, 2020. It was completely ignored by critics and fans alike. Then, instead of focusing on learning something new, like juggling, Sleepy Seahorse kept going back and working on stuff, and the rest of 2020 featured no less than four remastered and freshly edited re-releases of 'Awkward Obscure Unpopular, which were similarly ignored and dismissed.

The resounding indifference of Sleepy Seahorse's potential listening audience, is what inspired this latest and hopefully last release of 'Awkward Obscure Unpopular'

'Awkward Obscure Unpopular' is comprised of sounds that first appeared, somewhat intrusively, in Sleepy Seahorse's subconscious. These sounds were then interpreted and/or processed by the conscious expression of music in real time, using virtual and/or physical human performances.

Much like life itself, 'Awkward Obscure Unpopular' keeps coming at ya whether you like it or not, and if/when you finally notice it, you may find yourself enjoying it.

* * * Coming soon (date TBD): the ULTIMATE FINAL RELEASE of 'Awkward Obscure Unpopular' featuring the complete and comprehensive jedi-mastered album in its true physical form (which kind of resembles a weeping Ted Danson) along with super-vague and/or unwanted bonus items including nonrecorded demos, canceled and/or unpromoted live performances, 10-page Sleepy Seahorse fold-out pinup poster ebook, as well as hyperweblinks to unlocking hours of online multimedia supplemental entertainment materials, to enhance enjoyment and understanding of the Sleepy Seahorse listening experience!

** ** EDIT ** **
- June 18, 2021 - ok this is for sure the last time Awkward Obscure Unpopular is being released in its final earthly version. I couldn't hear the vocals like, at all, when I played it in my car. So re-re-re-re-re-release it is. - Gene
