Vibes Web3 Music Competition wk20|| Original Song Titled OBLIVION
Vibes web3 music competition week#20, for this week, I'll be doing an original song I and my sister @caithlyn wrote titled "Oblivion".
I saw a song Raye did where she talked all about her flaws and how everyone wants her to be this perfect girl but she's not. After listening to Raye's song, I decided to be vulnerable and do the same thing. I downloaded the free beat from Tubidy and have been working on the lyrics and tune for days.
This song is about me, how I felt at a point in my life, and I still do some days. I wrote this song years ago but in my diary. My younger sister is a poet, so she did all the magic. We added some new lyrics and changed so many things.
Oblivion according to the dictionary
The state or fact of forgetting or having forgotten; forgetfulness; (also) freedom from care or worry.

To me, it's the desire to escape a painful experience and also a longing for freedom. That's why I called my song Oblivion
Body shaming people is not okay; they didn't create themselves, so why make them feel bad. We're not perfect beings and can never be. You have a pointed nose, but that doesn't mean every other nose that isn't pointed is ugly.
Words are so powerful, Just saying you're ugly to someone can change the whole course of their life, make them commit suicide, or even hide themselves forever. Not everyone is strong.
Let's be mindful of that and live life. Your opinion about my skin color wouldn't change it from black to white, so let's just live life and mind our business.
I've seen a couple of people put their insecurities on others just to feel better about theirs. I've experienced that. These people feel good when you feel bad.
Sometimes we never outgrow the pain and it's stuck with us for life
The thing about toxic people is that it's hard to disconnect from them. They're like leeches; they only disconnect from you when they're full, and then they leave you sinking.
I do hope you like my song.

Lyrics
Title"Oblivion"
My mind has been roaming
Seiving all the caked memories
I'm trying to hurt myself again
long dead scenes
I'm sinking in my dark world
Where everyone's got something to say
Thought about this several times
Can I be free from this hate
Can......I find my heaven
You're insecure, but you put it on me
My beauty is hidden with your scars
I almost drowned my heart today
You were my poisoned wine
I knew but I went on ddrinking You've moved on to the next stage
But I'm still here sinking
Can I face my demons
Can I find my heaven

You’re welcome Meya 🥰
You really should have an album already and people should be streaming you lovely original songs on Spotify too.
This original 'Oblivion' is hauntingly beautiful.
Collaborating with your poet sister, Caithlyn, was genius! The lyrics are raw, emotional, and beautifully crafted.
Using a free beat from Tubidy and editing the cover art with Canva shows your resourcefulness.
Your powerful vocals bring the lyrics to life!
Good luck in the competition! You've got this!
Well done Meya.❤️
I'm scared of doing music big time to be honest 😅
Thank you so much Jess🥹, she's really a darling ❤️
Thanks for this beautiful comment dear ❤️❤️🤗
Hahah, why are you scared?
Fame is scary and.....
Well, you're right
This is so touching meyateingi 🥺
Who's cutting onions!
So emotional... just like jessica said, find a way to be uploading your song on Spotify oooo...
I'm also considering that sha.
Aww thank you 😊🥰, I don't even know how to do that, and that also means I'd have to record it as a song
Really! That's nice oo
Nice original song. I love the calmness and the instrumental.
That is true, it takes a word to make someone feel sad and depressed. Just like you said, some people derive joy in making people sad and depressed, their toxicity is on a high level.
The good thing is that there is a gradual process to heal and secure your space from negative people such that when they come with their negative energies, you are prepared and have secured your space.
It all begins with our minds, nurturing them with positive thoughts and self-talk and focusing on the things in our control circle.
It's a transformational journey and it's a gradual process.
Nice performance dear.🧡
Well-done, a professional microphone sort of enhances the output or the quality of your rendition. Very good
Thank you 🥰
Yeah it did 😊
My baby be giving me joy over flow

Thank you 😊 Amen!! God bless you ❤️
This was a beautiful and powerful entry and original song.
These lines were my favorite from the song, very deep, relatable and moving.
Lyrics that touch the soul and help us reflect ob what’s important and who we surround ourselves with.
I still feel this song is somehow under development. But i know that with time, you will perfect it and I look forward to that release one day. There are still some unfound melodies and lyrics waiting to unfold. There is more to be said. Maybe you see and feel it too.
But this was inspiring.
On a spiritual level, I just want to say
Be careful using the word “my” when referring to demons, because it is like a verbal contract of claiming association or ownership of them.
If you are referring to your flaws faults or vices, or bad habits. Use those words instead of “demons” would be my suggestion, because in the spiritual word, claiming “my demons” is exactly the kind of thing the enemy wants us to curse ourselves with. Like we bind ourselves to them.
But remember, life and death is in the power of our words and
Whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven, whatever is bound on earth is bound in heaven.
God bless you and your sister.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment ,
☺️, I really appreciate.
I'm glad you loved my entry and you could relate to it too.
I used my demon in place of my fears and insecurities. And you're very correct,that's what the devil wants. Thanks for the correction I'll keep that in mind when I'm writing my songs .
Amen! God bless you 🙏
So sorry for the late reply 🙏
Meya...
Funny how we have quite a mutual number of artists we listen to(I love Raye too).
