about
“Chunks” is the harshest song I have ever written and I did so way back in April 2016 (so even before “Stoic Winds” was released). I was at a restaurant. It was a regular day at the office and it was lunch time. I probably had a steak or something and I was drinking wine, as I usually did at that restaurant. It was red wine, fresh. And I don’t quite remember if I asked for a piece of paper or if I had a tissue with me, but I basically wrote the song right there and then. Expect for the final two verses, I think. I remember going home that day and showing it to my girlfriend and she enjoying it, though she seemed afraid that something was wrong with us or with me at the very least because it was so sad a song. I was fine, of course. It’s just how the song emerged. I can't write when I'm sad or generally feeling miserable anyway. What's more, me with songs and lyrics and melodies I feel I really need to put them down fast and get a hold of the moment or risk losing it forever. It has been like that for a while now. I know I have already lost material because I didn’t get there sooner. The day after I wrote the song I picked up the guitar and started playing it in the simplest manner I could. It’s what made the most sense for this mostly spoken word track.
lyrics
I used to work hard, man, that felt great
Got up real early, and stayed ‘till late
Expectations were high, my grip was tight
Made plans to grind all through the night
Then once I slept long till after the break of dawn
Woke up wishing I had never been born
The sun was just fine as the day went on
I glimpsed at the clock, the moon was where it belonged
I debated for long, yeah, it was all on me
Made sure to believe, “hey, let it be”
Denial took its time, acceptance was hard to chew
And no meds did what booze could do
The life I envisioned rolled to the ground
Got no money in my pocket, there’s none to be found
Day in, day out, I lost all track of time
I just wished it was a victimless crime
Before it was easy, now all we do is fight
Woke up one morning, told me to get out of her sight
I reached out for help, tried to explain it all
By now it was too late; all I could do was stall
Sure, there was suicide, but so what, big deal
I was never depressed, never saw the appeal
It’s anger I feel the most and that’s just what I’ll miss
When this thing gets it over with and hands its last kiss
