Leonell Cassio - Rotten (ft. Sarah Hemi) 🥀

Meaning:
‘Rotten’ is about once when I was in a park with a friend - we ran into some older kids that
we didn’t particularly like but we were hanging out. One thing led to another and I ended up
doing something I deeply regret.
In this moment I realized I was just as rotten as the guys I was criticizing earlier.
I was ashamed and disgusted by myself for what I did but I needed to get it off my chest, so I
wrote this paradoxical and cryptical song to tell my story. For me, ‘Rotten’ represents one of my
deeply held regrets…”

Lyrics:
Take back the time by painting grays
Rewind the clock by counting days
I lost my strength by lifting weights
because Ive slept for 7 days
I was there cause I felt I had to
I was scared and it wasnt thought through
I was waiting for grass to turn blue
I was just as rotten as you x2
Cant fall asleep but I can dream
Internal pictures on TV
Regret all moments from the past
cause none of it will ever last
I was there cause I felt I had to
I was scared and it wasnt thought through
I was waiting for grass to turn blue
I was just as rotten as you 2x
I was there cause I felt I had to
I was scared and it wasnt thought through
I was waiting for grass to turn blue

This is absolutely sensational. It's an even greater piece than I was expecting, which really says something considering how incredible I already thought this was going to be beforehand.

Not many people watch this video but what you wrote really means a lot to many people including me, this song means a lot about life and I love it! p.s. your other songs are amazing and meaningful too. I’m 10 years old! Hope I can meet you one day but I live in china so it’s kind of a pity..love your music!!

Dude I don't know who you really are but thanks, and I mean it.
I am from India and I am 17 years old.
I am glad that people like you exist and share there feelings through music.
Can you please tell me from where did you get the idea of writing 20 weeks .
20 weeks I think is your best work and its been around 2 years I been daily listening to that song and my friend told me about you, thanks to him, that I still listen to such great work of yours and your my favourite artist till date, please don't stop making music, at least for my sake. <3
