LYRICS
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when

The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we’ve met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

This is the first time I've heard 1:42 from this artist, and I already luv his smooth voice and the song itself.

[iirenesstt]

I often look back to see myself in the past—to reflect on the path I’ve walked. I try to do everything for that little girl I once was. So, God, how deeply I understand you.

Austin, this song is wonderful. I’m truly happy that your dreams are coming true. You deserve even more than you think and have.✨

Thank you for your work, for your music🖤

Ok the message at the beginning surprised me and so did the lyrics for this one. Reviewing them it does resonate within me. Hi I’m a trans man and I want to go down in history as an author that changed the world. I’ve made goofy jokes on your channels comments section, harmless fun. Theres very few of your songs that I actually relate to on a personal level.

Such as;

She’s an Actor

Where Or When

Ghost Of You

Overdrive

Burning Lines

Alive

Your Innocence

And lastly, Rock Bottom

So uh..😐

Here’s my story and how certain songs resonate with me. I knew I was trans since I was 11 and I was forced back into my closet after attempting to come out twice. Once at eleven and again at fourteen. The song “she’s an actor” hits me differently because I’m not a she, I’ve always been a “he” so yeah. I was twelve when I met my first girlfriend, she and I started out as friends so that’s where the song Innocence comes in. We were both depressed kids in need of friendship and it turned into a budding romance. We loved each other from afar because we were both in our own closets. She didn’t know I was trans and at the time I didn’t know she was lesbian until she came out to me. I was too scared to tell her I’m a boy so I pretended my feelings didn’t exist. We broke up a few times. We didn’t stay together for very long since we fought a lot. We were a couple that was of* and on* from both sixth grade all the way to freshman year in high school. The songs; Burning Lines and Overdrive are the two songs where these past moments of my life relate to it the most. We fought like crazy and we were off-and-on* and making each other jealous and it was like a rivalry we had to see who could break the other first into crawling back. I didn’t try to make her jealous, not intentionally however she did try to make me jealous intentionally. There was some other people that liked me at the time. And she knew they had a crush on me so she would get jealous that they would hang around me. That’s what the song song Alive reminds me of. By the time it was my freshman year of high-school me and my girlfriend were on again however she had hit rock bottom because she came out to her parents as a lesbian, and they did not accept her. She was severely depressed and at her lowest point. She lashed out at everybody she would throw things she would get very violent. She would verbally cuss people out. I stayed with her because I loved her. The song Rock Bottom hits hard with this point in my life. Even so I wasn’t enough. I couldn’t stop her from what she ended up doing halfway through the year on April 16. My girlfriend ended her life. The song you wrote: Ghost Of You, hits me badly and makes me think of her at the darkest lowest points.

When she ended her life, I felt broken internally, and the reason why she ended it was because of the homophobia she couldn’t stand people hating her for being a lesbian, she couldn’t take it anymore, and she developed a lot of of mental problems because of it she had developed an ideology to end it all. She would physically hurt herself and her parents from time to time sent her away to the emergency room when she tried to take her own life. Eventually she succeeded on sleeping pills. She overdosed on sleeping pills after severely cutting up her arms.

A year after she died, I decided to write a book to try to educate people on the LGBTQIA community and how we are not all the same and we are not all people that live on social media . How some of us exist and feel these complex emotions towards other people and ourselves and how we’re not the same as straight people and people that are cisgender a.k.a. people that identify with the sex they are born as. Some of us are just trying to live normal lives in peace without the hatred and bigotry. So a year after my girl ended her life, I started writing a book and before that it was just an idea I had in the back of my head and the more hatred and the more tension that rose up the more it became clear to me that I needed to write this book. It was like a battle internally, waging inside my body and the society around me.

The society that’s fighting for power and wants to have the upper thumb over other people not caring who they hurt and what kind of pain they are actually causing.

So yeah, I started writing a book on the community and at times writing this book. It was like a nightmare, and I had no start and no finish and no middle with a plot. And the song Where Or When resonates with me at 21 years old nearly 22 this year and me looking back on those hard times where I couldn’t even get started, the song just reminds me of those dark times and how I’m still struggling to accomplish my accomplishments, but it’s not as difficult as it used to be. I’m an author that wants to change the world with a fictional story that contains realism and real life elements and problematic issues that need to be solved.

And back as a teenager, I didn’t even know my goal. I just knew I wanted to fix what was broken inside of me and I wanted to fix my dead girlfriend, but she was dead and I couldn’t do that. I just wanted to fix the society that hurt her so much that she ended it all. She let go of life and never is gonna get to grow up. She’s never gonna see the change I make and it’s because of the phobia, the hatred, the avoidance, the refusal to educate yourselves. She gave up life because she lost Hope in all of humanity. And for the longest time, I was so angry until I realized I need to fix it. I realize that I need to fix this and I took on this responsibility to try to help educate people to help educate minds that are so small and narrow.

This song really hit me hard because it takes me back to that place, that dark place where I was hopeless and had no idea how to make my own book because I want to self publish my books, if I go to the traditional route, I worry about them cutting out parts of my story, which is what I don’t want so by self publishing I automatically get full control over it and back then at 15 to 16 years old I had no clue how to even start I was so lost and so broken. If I could go back in time and change the things that I did as a kid, I probably would. I probably would’ve made myself stronger and strong enough to educate people on psychology and how the human brain and human body are far more complex than we are physically, and mentally capable of understanding. There truly is very few of your songs that really do hit home. Songs like this always end up, making me cry because it just reminds me of my failures and the things I still need to accomplish. The length and the fees I’m willing to go to accomplish them are painfully high.

I’m nearly 22 years old in the year 2025 and unlike before I now know where to start with self publishing and how to go about making my book. As it is, I’m in the process of making an entire series that I plan to publish all at once.

Word of advice to those who want to become authors work on one book at a time. 😂

I chose the difficult route and I’m working on five books in total at a time. One of them is just a children’s toddlers book that my nephews inspired me to make. And the remaining four are a part of a series that talks about the LGBTQIA community in a fantasy dark enemies to lovers romance story. But there’s LGBTQIA elements to it. And I’m dedicating this entire book series to my dead girlfriend as an apology that I can never get forgiveness for. Because I am sorry that I wasn’t strong enough to prevent what happened. Even though I had no control over it I still feel guilty because as her partner I should have been there. I should have been more something in her life to stop her from doing what she was doing. I should have known that she was going to do that and I was so naïve so stupid and all I can say to her is I’m sorry but she’s gone so I can’t apologize and even so I am sorry But she’ll never hear those words.

I knew she was in pain, but I didn’t know it was to that extent until it was too late. If I could go back in time, I would cling to her harder and show her that I’m in her life and I’m not going nowhere.

Anyway, that’s kind of all I had to really say about this song and about some of your other songs that left me emotional. ❤

Loved them by the way, I needed a good cry to help remind me what I’m fighting for. ❤❤❤
