about

Laura Sellner wrote this song about trying too hard to be something that she is not, and trying to fit into someone else's mold or expectation. It also is a tribute to the divine feminine, and a warning to not underestimate it.

lyrics

Trying so hard to feel something / Worth something / That
means something / Trying so hard to be something for
you / The idea of what it could be is always better than
it should be / The idea of what it could be is always better
than it is / Lips locked / Undressed / Nothing to impress /
Left lost in the thought of the past / Eyes locked / Hold /
Stop / Empty is the pot / Stale coat of the lump in my
chest / Trying so hard to feel something / Worth something /
That means something / Trying so hard to be something
for you / The idea of what it could be is always better
than it should be / The idea of what it could be is always
better than it is / My teeth bite the shoulder / Cut the
noose to let you under / I am hot / I am wet / I am mint /
Slide the leg / Let you under / Leave us both lost in
wonder / Cold shower to ignore our intent / I will walk out
on you / I will never be true / I hang my hat and I leave it /
No regrets / Don’t count on me to be there when we’re
through / I am rock / I am solid / I am it / Trying so hard to
feel something / Worth something / That means something /
Trying to so hard to be something for you / The idea of
what it could be is always better than it should be / The
idea of what it could be is always better than it is /
Don’t underestimate me / I am a vagabond, baby / I will
roll over you / I am a heartbreaker, baby / I will never be
true / I am a vagabond, baby / I will roll over you / I am a
man eater, baby / And I am trying so hard to feel something /
Worth something / I am trying so hard to be something for
you / The idea of what it could be is always better /
Oh, the idea / Don’t underestimate me
