I wrote this one night when I felt like absolute trash. In life, we ebb and flow. If you’re feeling good, no doubt, something eventually will come along and punch you in the face. I wrote this right after I was punched in the face. I was actually in the process of writing a very uplifting song, and then I was suplexed by the universe, essentially, and got so distracted that I couldn’t write the uplifting song anymore. I had to write a song to capture the negativity. It isn’t void of hope, because that’s not who I am, but there’s a ‘darkness’ to it, for sure. I think we define ourselves by how we respond to that type of thing. I remember once, back when I was in the nightclub business in San Francisco, sitting in my office during my biggest ‘failure’. The event had about 1/4th the amount of people I needed to break even (meaning - cover all my expenses, talent, and so on). I’d paid for the event myself, so this meant I was in the process of losing a small fortune. The bass from the event was rattling my windows. I was looking at my budget on an excel spreadsheet, checking in with Eddie (shout out to Eddie!) seeing if any more guests were walking up (they weren’t). Once I’d realized this was, yes, going to be carved into stone as a massive loss for me, I thought, “What have we learned?” That’s usually the first question I ask myself when going through something like that, a ‘failure’. I saved that excel spreadsheet, and I talk about that memory fondly, because it taught me far more than my victories ever have. There are times, too, though, when nothing can be ‘learned’ from a negative experience - let’s say, a personal loss. You lose a friend, maybe. A parent. A sibling? My mom’s twin brother was hit by a car in San Francisco and, like that, he was gone. What could she have done then? I think it’s important to allow yourself to grieve. That’s healthy. It satisfies such a deep psychological need, and to be able to guiltlessly do that, with no greater motive or lesson, I think, is a victory. That’s human. ‘Bleeding Out in the 415’ is me doing that. 💀🌕 If you want to support what I'm doing, subscribe to my community over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/kaistraw
Thank you. Forgot what my yt name was. But anywho. Haven’t been feeling myself lately. Money troubles. Relationship issues. Self image issues. Life’s hard. It’s a kick in the stomach all the time. This song I found by mistake. I’ve been listening for a while now low key. But thank you. Music is the light in dark places when people can’t help. Some music is tunnels some are pin holes through the dark times. This song is a gateway to better times. Thank you. For not only making me stand up and try harder than ever. But thank you for saving me.
Honestly, lately everything is fucked up, panic attacks, stressed out, feeling lonely, wanting to end all of it, life shouldn't be this hard, on top of it to cover it all, a heart break, I needed this song, I just kept vibing with it, thx for this
Kai, you just get it. All of it. And you let us know you get it. Thank you. Your lyrics have really helped me not just disappear inside myself when I hurt. You are brave. You make all of us a little braver because of it. Again, thank you.
The lyrics damn, it really hits deep, right to the soul. But can we talk about that vibrato? damn, and the falsetto. this melody sooo smooth. This music is a Masterpiece with capital M. So underrated. The type of music we need nowadays. All this anguish, the ansiety, it really lifts away.
“Am I talking to myself cause I hear nothing when I pray” FAark man….. your cutting me deep right now…. Amazing talent. Amazing voice. Take care man Daz
Thank you for sharing your story, I am up at 4 A.M. and came across this its 4:50 A.M. I was scrolling social media and this song popped up and I gave it a second, and now I have given this song repeat. It's calling to me, we all have these low moments. This is one amazing piece, from the lyrics to the beats hitting and the tremble pulling in and out. Way to go man, just made a fan! Much love and respect.
3 months later, and this song still hits heavy. I love it. Might finally shoot a music video for this, soon. An unofficial, fan-made one of course, since I know you’re working on the official one.
I stumbled upon your ig some how of your post about drowning in xxx and I just have to say all of your captions and stories and just everything you say is like magic to my ears , I could live off of your captions only
I was doin' so good for so long I was feelin' so great But now I feel cut off Like I'm licking a razer blade I was doin' so good But all that faded And now I feel cut off I think by blood is serrated So here I'm alone, hugging this blade in a bay-side hell Fuck who you know, I'll make a cape and save myself I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (everything goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (everything goes) I don't need nobody coming to save my day There's a hero in this blood who's never late Or maybe I'm just done waiting to be saved Am I talking to myself? 'Cause I hear nothing when I pray, oh I'ma crawl back anyway Knife in my back, naked and I'm afraid of nothing but God in my hands if you gеt in my way I'm embracing the rain This thunder growls for mе I've become the Valkyrie So here I'm alone, hugging this blade in a bay-side hell Trust me I know, Superman's fake, I'll save myself I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (everything goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes) I've got a life to live An' more roads to take If I gotta fight to live Then fuck it all of my roads will be bloodstained I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes, goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes, goes) I don't think you know me If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes, goes)

The first time I heard this I was on acid and it completely shook my soul and I've listened to it everyday since

This is a great song! I definitely needed to hear this🌙
I was doin' so good for so long
I was feelin' so great
But now I feel cut off
Like I'm licking a razer blade
I was doin' so good
But all that faded
And now I feel cut off
I think by blood is serrated
So here I'm alone, hugging this blade in a bay-side hell
Fuck who you know, I'll make a cape and save myself
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (everything goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (everything goes)
I don't need nobody coming to save my day
There's a hero in this blood who's never late
Or maybe I'm just done waiting to be saved
Am I talking to myself? 'Cause I hear nothing when I pray, oh
I'ma crawl back anyway
Knife in my back, naked and
I'm afraid of nothing but God in my hands if you gеt in my way
I'm embracing the rain
This thunder growls for mе
I've become the Valkyrie
So here I'm alone, hugging this blade in a bay-side hell
Trust me I know, Superman's fake, I'll save myself
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (everything goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes)
I've got a life to live
An' more roads to take
If I gotta fight to live
Then fuck it all of my roads will be bloodstained
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes, goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes, goes)
I don't think you know me
If you think of it slowly that everything goes (that everything goes, goes)
Pls pls keep making music
Canta muito 👏🏻
Linda música!!
❤❤❤
Me obsesione con tu música
