This Sabotage - Guitar Acoustic


Listen Later

If I could give my younger self just one piece of advice it would be this: Look after your self-respect.
Why? For a couple of reasons.
Firstly because if you don't look after it, when the time comes for you to actually need it, it won't be anywhere to be found.
The second reason is because when you don't have self-respect, all the ways in which you criticise yourself and put yourself down will all add up in your own mental image of yourself, and this is not healthy at all.
In the end it just leads to burnout and self-loathing, and it all starts from the smallest of seeds. Somebody put this unkind voice in your head - it wasn't you - but when you let it stay there and you never fight back, you're setting yourself up for a pretty crappy ride, mentally speaking.
So.
Look after your self-respect.

Here's the song...
LYRICS
Consumed with fatigue
So far out my league
And all cos I stupidly think
I’m unique
Perpetual neglect
Of my self-respect
Has taken its toll
Well, what did I expect?
Take more blame
Ignore shame
But look what I...
I became
I became
Learning to hate myself
To curse and berate myself
Just to get good
Just to get better
Feigning incognisance
Of praises and compliments
Just to get good
Just to get better
For you
For you
Guess what?
With burnout
It actually turns out
The catalyst right at its heart
Is self-doubt
Uncomfortably numb
Is what I’ve become
After beating myself
Like some infinite drum
Diagnosis
Psychosis
Losing my mind
Just focus
Just focus!
Learning to hate myself
To curse and berate myself
Just to get good
Just to get better
This sabotage
These habits are
A social form of camouflage
This sabotage
These habits are
A social form of camouflage
This sabotage
These habits are
A social form of camouflage
This sabotage
These habits are
A social form of camouflage
Learning to hate myself
To curse and berate myself
Just to get good
Just to get better
Feigning incognisance
Of praises and compliments
Just to get good
Just to get better
For you
For you
