Kirstyn Hippe | reinvention — an original song by kirstyn hippe @xKirstynHippe | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
lyrics below (or turn on captions!) ↓ a little song about resolutions and past lives. finished writing it 30 mins before filming so not perfect or polished, but trying to get better about just putting things out into the world. hope you're all having a nice new year :)
happy new year
who are you now?
do you think we’re gonna find out?
cause i’ve been asking,
it’s a small town
20 something—
time to count down
it’s a nice thought, reinvention
but i don’t think you know how
you don’t have the disposition
you’re settled in, broken down
don’t want to see yourself in 2019
just a stranger staring back from the screen
explain her away, “oh what can i say,
there have been so many lives before me”
don’t look back now, could you face it?
everything you wrote in the sand?
hoping time would just erase it —
did it work the way you planned?
now the memory’s changing color
it’s almost lost its hue
black and white films feel much smaller
were they really people too?
don’t want to see yourself in 2015
just a stranger staring back from the screen
explain her away, “oh what can i say,
there have been so many lives before me”
they say you’re not developed till you turn 25
remember when those thoughts enveloped you?
and you took new emotions on a tentative test-drive
nervous and unbuckled in the rearview?
expect the crash now, hold it in
pick the glass beneath your skin
watch a movie, escape it all
you won’t answer when she calls
don’t want to see yourself in 2013...
