You Are Not Here To Be Loved

from BOPS by QUEENJAZZ

/

about

This was the first track written after I had released QUEENJAZZ BANGERS, and immediately set the tone for the new album: more lyrics, more Pop, more fun. a lot of previous songs i've written have covered topics that were important to me but often in an either aggresive or defeatist way, despite working to reduce that in my own mentality.
with this song i tried and be more positive and uplifting generally. i struggle to write lyrics but Ian Lain Hatch took my initial seed and wrote the entire rest of the song out of it, perfectly capturing the mood and themes i wanted to achieve.
it is once again a song about how much i love my friends

lyrics

one tell you, you are not here to be loved, conditionally
make up your mind, make up your mind, at ease

one tell you, you can live here how you feel, unconditionally
make up your mind, make up your mind, at ease

this a home, a trusted zone
a place with space where you're not alone
rest and repair with a pleasant tone
just feel the beat, feel the microphone

to be loved, here to be loved
you aren't conditionally loved

one tell you, noone to judge, nothing to prove
let go of burdens, time to soothe
and when you, feel it you can move
drift with the music, flowing through you
