about

This song is was written when I was feeling disheartened about my current state of reality and like all the hard work I had put in towards my music career goals hadn't paid off. The song draws parallels from the movie "The Wizard of Oz" and uses metaphors to compares being unhappy with my current state of reality to being in an alternate world, desperately wanting to return 'home' to where I feel safe and comforted. This song "Unknown" feels appropriate to release during the Coronavirus pandemic as a lot of us feel restricted by our current realities and crave returning to a state of normalcy.

lyrics

(Verse I)
All I see are shades of grey, tornado of a life
I'm pushing thirty, no success story
Still trying to figure out what's right
But I lost myself along the way
Decisions that didn't pan out
Lying on the floor so confused
How did I wind up here?

(Chorus)
Click my heels and send me home
I'm feeling so alone
I'm stuck in here with nowhere to go
Please send rescue
'Cause I thought I would be someone
But I'm unknown
Unknown
Unknown

(Verse II)
Sweeping floors in studios
Traveling to New York City
Quitting my job and open mic singing
Declaring it's my dream
But I'm not there, not even close
Where's my yellow brick road?
I thought my dreams were within reach but they're so far
How do I escape this reality?

(Chorus)
Click my heels and send me home
I'm feeling so alone
I'm stuck in here with nowhere to go
Please send rescue
'Cause I thought I would be someone
But I'm unknown
Unknown
Unknown

(Bridge)
And don't you know I'd go back if I could
Learn from my mistakes before making all those turns
I wish I could but then who would I be?
I feel like a prisoner in this reality begging to break free

(Chorus)
Click my heels and send me home
I'm feeling so alone
I'm stuck in here with nowhere to go
Please send rescue
'Cause I thought I would be someone
But I'm unknown
Unknown,
Unknown
Unknown
Unknown
Unknown
