Hello! My album "Someday I'll Know Me" just came out... and I just do not have the words to express how I feel right now. I started producing music in 2020 during covid. I've been a vocaloid fan since I was 9 years old, but I joined the production scene a little late. "Try Again" was the 3rd song I ever uploaded. It featured Miku and Cyber Diva. Even if the production was rough, I knew there was something salvageable about the songwriting and the structure.

@RookPaperScissor believed in me and made an INCREDIBLE instrumental to bring this silly song to life. I wrote a lot of these lyrics when I was 17. This song is truly just about people who argue just to argue, not even knowing what they're fighting about anymore. Solaria and Miku have become obsessed with arguing with each other. Obsessed with getting the last word. There's no point because it'll never happen. They sit in their beds and fight, imagining a grand battle in their heads. @eggtan3965 's art really helped bring that story together.

Thank you all for making this possible. I'll keep creating, always.

UPDATE: I love that everyone in the comments is headcanon-ing this as wlw enemies to lovers. They are both intended to be teenagers/high schoolers in this song, both involved in a stupid argument. Anyways that's so cool.

Lyrics:

I can't seem to find the words to describe how you made me feel then
I can't seem to find the room in my heart to forgive and forget
How dare you assume it's all fine
How dare you spew out your damn lies
An apology is not something you'll be getting from me

I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
But I really wanna argue
With you

How dare you
How dare you
How double dog dare you
I can't seem to find a reason why
I'm still thinking of you

You've tried a hundred times
A hundred lies
It's your favorite pastime
You've tried to convince me I'm crazy
Baby, I know my own mind
Try and try I will not listen
I know that I'm in the right
Try again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again

I can't seem to understand just why it's so hard to let go
Just why do you keep adding false fuel to this inferno
How dare you show fake empathy
Why don't you see you're nobody
An apology is not something you'll be getting from me

I really wanna fight about it
I really wanna fight about it
I really wanna fight about it
I really wanna argue
With you

How dare you
How dare you
How double dog dare you
I can't seem to find a reason why
You still try and try because

You've tried a hundred times
A hundred lies
It's your favorite pastime
You've tried to convince me I'm crazy
Baby, I know my own mind
Try and try I will not listen
I know that I'm in the right
Try again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again

How dare you, oh
Just say your piece and go
I don't know how much more I can take
I don't deserve this
I'm sick of this
I know you want to give in
I am sure

You can keep on lying
You can keep on trying to get an apology you don't deserve
I'm sick of this game
I don't want to play
Anymore

But I'm not satisfied with your silence
Not satisfied with your silence
I'm not satisfied with your silence
And I never will be

How dare you
How dare you
How double dog dare you
How dare you even look at me
How dare you even think of me

You've tried a hundred times
A hundred lies
It's your favorite pastime
You've tried to convince me I'm crazy
Baby, I know my own mind
Try and try I will not listen
I know that I'm in the right
Try again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again

You've tried a hundred times
A hundred lies
It's your favorite pastime
You've tried to convince me I'm crazy
Baby, I know my own mind
Try and try I will not listen
I know that I'm in the right
Try again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again

If anyone is curious how I made the instrumental, it was really very simple actually. I picked up my guitar and bass and drum kit and physically threw them at my computer and then this happened. You will have to buy a new computer every time you do this but I've written it off as a business expense on my taxes

[KnoKei]

I REALLY love the trope of "mortal enemies who will never kill each other because they secretly love fighting each other"

[diizzy_puddingzz]

god this song radiates enemies to lovers but like in that weird middle phase where they’re only just realizing how queer they are for eachother but are still like angry at eachother constantly
it’s so fucking good this song is such a bop

[thatman]

I like to think that this argument started from a minor grammatical error that was then blown massively out of proportion.

[JJ-xjxq]

The song to that homoerotic codependent relationship you have in high school

[AlineDreams]

In the end, the argument was about pineapple on pizza. Miku likes it, Solaria thinks she's either crazy or lying about it to rile her up because she dang hates pineapple on pizza.

[low-kywhynot]

Ah yes the princess diva of vocaloid and the queen of synth v get into a figth
Magnificent

[DesmoTwanipop]

Enemies to lovers crowd watching:
JUST KISS ALREADY!!!

[vibrantnonsense]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH HOLY CRAP!!!! Duets where the people singing the duet fucking hate eachother is one of my favorite genres and its got two of my favorite vocal synths with beautiful tuning and instrumentals on top of it. Gotta be one of my favorite songs now.

[jadebreeze]

The concept of stupid online internet arguments into a song is pure genius and an absolute banger! This is a new favorite of mine now! :D

[jadekaibap]

Oh no, Vocaloid and Synth V are fighting... But seriously, this is really catchy and weirdly relatable. Pointless arguments are the worst!

[melda]

Got intrigued by a Miku/Solaria duet, but I've been having this song on repeat for the past 3 days! It's just so good!

[candz]

accidentally stumbled upon this song and damn, this is one of the best things ive heard in awhile! hope it gets more popular

[Autistic_Menace]

Oh my god just kiss each other already (in all seriousness, this sounds amazing. I really want to hear these two together more)

[trancebunnysunny]

me and my friends have a character in our RP server who does absolutely nothing but argue with everyone. the day a lore event was supposed to happen, i found this song and shared it with my friends. i’m probably gonna listen to this every time i have to do anything with the character, so thanks ^^

[pineappleboidraws]

Ah yes “try again” aka enemies to lovers, but with swords!

[stix]

I was hoping it would pan out at the end to show they are in the same damn room

[chilljammer_]

can’t believe neither of them pulled out the triple dog dare

[hamjamkabam]

I have an ear infection in my left ear so I can only hear it in my right ear but I have to say that the bass line slaps so hard. Rook is absolutely amazing and the lyrics you write always convey so much feeling. Love it!!!

[TAquailita]

Found this at like 1am so didnt have time or mind to put my full thoughts. Someone shared ur album in the OSP discord so hopefully lots of other people see it too bc this is wonderful!

I really love this. Been looping it all day. Will try to listen to the rest of the album once this stops beong stuck in my head haha

I love the part where theyre both singing at one and the parts where they echo/mirror each others lines.

I love the feeling that they hate each other but still want to keep arguing rather than ignore. Kinda reminds me of kismesis from homestuck where they hate each other but the hate is the relationship, just as strong and important bond as love.

Amazing work on this. Its energetic and catchy.
