Whoa! Is Me

about

“Whoa! Is Me” started as a writing prompt. Aidan texted Zach out of the blue and said “Hey write a song called ‘Whoa is me’ like a pun on ‘woe is me.’”

So Zach wrote three verses of a song called “Whoa is me” and then Aidan finished off the last verse. They ended up with a song about catching yourself in the act of being the bad guy. It’s about figuring out who the real you is.

Musically the song was inspired by Jefferson Airplane’s second album “Surrealistic Pillow,” but by the time the remaining Neighbors, Tracey and Dana, got their hands all over it, it morphed into a much janglier, power poppier type tune. Enjoy!

lyrics

Whoa is me!
I’ve gotta take a little time to figure me out.
Don’t know what I just said was all about.
But I better take some time to figure it out.

Whoa is me!
Did I say that? Did I mean that? Where was that from?
Is this the type of person I will become?
We’ve all got lots to learn, and I’ve sure got some.

Whoa is me baby
Cuz I think maybe
Something’s wrong baby
I’m not right lately

Whoa is me!
Am I screwed? Am I done? Is it over?
Could I be so fucking lost to think I’d known her.
Would it matter if I was to truly show her.

Whoa is me!
I'm coming down, coming round, thinking clearer.
I don't want anyone to ever fear her.
I look at her, I'm looking in a mirror.

Whoa is me baby
Cuz I think maybe
Something’s wrong baby
I’m not right lately
