In this case I sing about the voice in your head that basically talks you into doing things. In my case, it's like the little devil at my shoulder talking me into doing dumb sh*t that I know I'm gonna regret later on and feel really bad about. This particular devil, or voice if you may, manifests itself to me or I imagine it being like a succubus. Extremely charming, hard to say no to, and is always talking me over to do things I don't want to or things I'm gonna regret, she's always about your inner demon that drags you down to this black hole and keeps you there, stopping you from being free. You have a hard time saying no because she won't blame you or look down you and will always welcome with open arms.</P> <P><BR />Unfortunately, some people are able to keep it in check and other don't."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:2kJ6fhfBZOlWJbmzY4rIkI:small" target="_self">spotify:track:2kJ6fhfBZOlWJbmzY4rIkI:small</A></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG><SPAN><SPAN>TQ the Artist - Wake Up<span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="TQ.jpg" style="width: 165px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/119789i86C3AECED7B7337B/image-dimensions/165x354?v=v2" width="165" height="354" role="button" title="TQ.jpg" alt="TQ.jpg" /></span></SPAN></SPAN></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><SPAN class=""><SPAN class="">Changing genre, and continent, we arrive to Gainesville, GA for some bassy,</SPAN></SPAN> catchy hooks and lyrics.

It's about finding the spiritual paradise where we all want to get lost and, at the same time, the place where we can actually find ourselves, where we can live our own love stories, free from taboos and enjoy every minute.
