FAWM: "wet toilet paper"

wet toilet paper

Liner Notes

if you are a man and you're frightened or disgusted by menstruation this may not be the song for you. ...although, its really not about the physical symptoms, actually. It's more about what I personally experience when I have an insane hormone shift that ends up having an affect on my mental and emotional state, which is usually many days before any physical signs appear. ANYWAY, if you have pmdd, chances are high that you'll relate to this one. #pmspop

Lyrics

I’ve been hit like a ton of bricks Came falling from the sky I know, by now I should know But again, it's a surprise Deranged, I try to contain Suppress, disguise, and hide The fact that I’m severely stuck In freeze, fight, or flight

I bet I’d feel less vulnerable If I was inside out I think it might be best To stay home for now

It feels like all my insecurities Are out for everyone to see Whenever its this time of the month & I’m emotionally weaker Than wet toilet paper And probably worth just as much Maybe you should just flush Me away

Is it bad, have I gone mad If my first symptomatic thought Is to leave because I believe That you’d be better off Out the cage and outraged Like a werewolf in the moon I don’t know how much control I have over what I do

Yesterday I told someone I wanted to rip my own hair out and shove It down the throats of those I love

The random button took me here, looked at the title, and stayed here. Your vocals are sooooooooo good. You could literally write songs about everything and the genre tag just made me smile. I hope you did not write these lyrics on wet toilet paper, because they're good.

What's not to like? Utter fawmsomeness.

Smashing it again, love the melody in the verses and that line about neing weaker than wet toilet paper is so original and relatable.

Love your vocal. very commercial. Came here via your dad's profile. Good luck with the release. Very witty engaging lyrics, even for an old man :)

The playful progression and melody really reminds me of Lily Allen. Strangely heartfelt for the topic :)

@klyma 19h

this is the cutest rage song ever 😀

@quoththellama 19h

There she is! Vocals are on point, the song concept is so clever, and i love the way the music bounces along. I also laughed out loud at the spoken "I'm not kidding" 😂. Awesome job!

@markfulwider 22h

No! I will not flush! THAT VOICE! Your voice is truly just simply mesmerizing to listen to! Hanging on every syllable! ok I will stop with the exclamation points, but seriously this song was a joy to listen to and hopefully it was a bit of therapy as well. My favorite line "I'm emotionally weaker than wet toilet paper and probably worth just as much". Such an incredible setup for the next line. Chin up girl! You are a champion!

@sunflowersummit 1d

This metaphor is so good!!!

@iamkrisbradley 1d

wooooooeeeeee this is brilliant. Amazing lyric and melody, and your voice is perfection. 💛

@artie 1d

Ooooweee that melody behind the last "flush me away" really brings it home with feeling. Great job with every part of this! I know, that doesn't express how moved I feel by this song so you might have to just take my word for it. I'm in a wowsers state right now. Also, Jordan Jensen had a kindred way of talking about this in her recent standup special.

@ltunes 1d

Your voice is delightful! This is giving Regina Spektor vibes and I'm a HUGE fan so awesome. And your lyrics are inspired. love the part where you say "not kidding" Just very well done. I'm listening again now.

@jorh 1d

I LOVE the melody - it’s super catchy and has a bounce driving it forward. Especially enjoyed the first verse with the triple word delivery and the vulnerability you show in the lyric whilst keeping a lightness in the track. The ‘toilet paper, flush’ comparison is works a treat too - it’s a keeper!

@williamjames 1d

This is really good. You sound great and the delivery is on point. The delivery of the rip my own hair out part was the highlight.

@anthonykapfer 1d

this is great! so good i’m listening to it twice. so catchy. the line about ripping your hair out is very funny. very strong start to the month. i can’t wait to hear more

@andygetch 1d

Holey moley! Waiting for me at the end of a winding path with warning signs posted along the way is such a delightful song delivery on melody and keyboards. From the perspective of a long term married man with family an friends, I feel like I would have benefitted from hearing this song as a youth as it would have preempted some mysteries and misunderstandings. Also by observation, it resonates with my range of experiences at certain times of the month with all of the adult women in my life.

@frozenlonesome 1d

Instant follow even though a pop song about menstruation was not on my bingo card for the first day of FAWM. Being only an observer of the cycle did not diminish my enjoyment of this wonderful song.

Great melody and lovely singing. Looking forward to more.

@greenfleamusic_55 1d

Very insightful. It’s a very fertile set of lyrics for sure. Sisters mothers wife’s and daughters. So maybe I understand a little 😊

@mbmusic 1d

Only you could make this topic sound enjoyable to listen to... 😂 Really nice voice and track! I definitely can't relate other than the wanting to rip my hair out part. But we will never flush you away because we need more of your sweet music!

@theodamus 1d

"I bet I'd be less vulnerable if I was inside out" is a PUNCH of a line, that's incredible. This is a sweet and light more wistful than sad take on a real pain in the everything, i love the clean confidence in the quiet indie pop production. And the chuckle! Great song
