trigger_segfault Relatable, feel-good music to listen to when I need a pick-me-up. So many great lines in the lyrics. And everything about this song slaps!

2Bhere4U just like the other person who left a review on this song, i wasn't sure about liking it at first. they said they found some of the melodies a little weird, & i agree, but i realized that's part of the appeal to me. they also said they didn't get into the song until the chorus hit, but my favorite part is the build to the first two drops at the beginning. the disco strings are a nice touch.

the more i listen the more i like it, & i really enjoy the attitude of the vocalist on this one a lot.

SlashedSucubus At first I wasn't so sure about liking it, some flow and melody in the song was weird, but man, when that chorus hit, the flow keeps on giving and the groove just keep me dancing! I couldn't resist after that!

about

A little song to get our gamer pals through these hard times.

lyrics

Last week I heard clicking sounds from the nearby alley
Now the whole world’s on lockdown
Wonder how the hell I missed it
Soldiers blocked my district
But there’s a glossy backdoor in my parents’ basement
I’ll slip into it avoiding a barren wasteland
Don’t want
To end up a statistic
I’ll be gone for this spring
Mama don’t say a thing
My long journey won’t put you in danger

Lock me up, lock me up
In my room
Still gonna pack things up
And sneak out
To Hyrule
I’ll explore the Great Plateau with my mask off
Beedle’s store’s raking in profits like Tesco

Lock me up, leave me it's
Not so bad
I’m gonna hit the pubs
Down the streets of
Novigrad
Nothing’s changing under quarantine orders
Redania’s never closing its borders

Lock me up
It's alright
Lock me up
Leave me here
I don't mind

And while we hide, bloodflies might swarm the city spreading
The Tyrant virus outside, trust me, I’ve already seen that
Think I should move to Greenland
So lick me barnacle, hug me, my buddy headcrab
I’m safe and sound hanging ‘round with my City Seventeen friends
Till the quarantine ends
I’ll stay home the whole spring
Mama won’t say a thing
Gaming now is officially healthy

Lock me up, lock me up
In my room
I’m gonna pack things up
And sneak out
To Hyrule
Then to Skyrim, maybe even to Lordran
Dying right after respawning is so fun

Lock me up, leave me it’s
Not so bad
Bullies won’t beat me up
Kronika will instead
Netherrealm’s not under quarantine orders
I kept the distance but still ended up quartered

Lock me up
It’s alright
Lock me up
I’ll stay put
I don’t mind

I might spend decades in this shelter before escaping
To post apocalyptic lands
So bring me pizza, Mr Bridges, and some toilet paper
Don’t worry, I won’t shake your hand

Lock me up, lock me up
In my room
Still gonna pack things up
And sneak out
To Hyrule
I’ll explore the Great Plateau with my mask off
Beedle’s store’s raking in profits like Tesco

Lock me up, leave me it's
Not so bad
I’m gonna hit the pubs
Down the streets of
Novigrad
Nothing’s changing under quarantine orders
Redania’s never closing its borders, whoa

Lock me up, lock me up
You better lock me up, lock me up
Lock me up, lock me up
It's not so bad
You better lock me up, lock me up
It's not so bad
Nothing’s changing under quarantine orders
Redania’s never closing its borders

Lock me up
It's alright
Lock me up
Leave me here
I don't mind
