Story Behind The Song

The night after a party, my friends needed me to give them rides here and there, and I just ditched them to hang out by the river all day.

Song Description

SuperJaded blends emo, acoustic folk, and pop with a smart riff, subtle instrumentation, and catchy hooks. The verses are a narrative from the side of a river, with the pre-chorus and chorus dealing with solitude and a certain self-deprecating contentment. It is reflecting on things that have happened and accepting them as a river flows by.

Lyrics

The way the river parted for a bed of stone had me rolling up my jeans in a heartbeat. As inviting as anything could be, I had to make some time for me.

My cell phone wasn't even on my mind all day. No one really talked about last night. Or if they did, I guess the river drowned them out and washed up all my expectations from the ground.

But before I had my confidence confiscated
I brushed my thumbs across her cheeks as if we fornicated
It aint no thang, but I swear I'll make it complicated
I think I'm better off alone.
It's hard to say it.

And now I'm super jaded
I overcompensated
I think I'm better off alone,
it's hard to say it.
I'm better off alone;
but I'm glad I made it count

I see the sandbar swallowed up after the rain.
It sucks because I know it's there.
And I could make an argument for why I cover up my pain,
but I won't cuz I don't care.
