Consciousness by That Clare
What's it about?
Consciousness was written in two halves. Its a song very much about mental health and toxic people and how they can get into your head. Don't let them! The first part I wrote in February 2023, it was a time when I was dealing with a lot of stuff and one day I went for a walk, I wasn't in a good place. It was a cold misty winters day in a Northern town and there really were tears in my eyes I could barely see where I was going I was so engrossed in the stuff going on inside my head. Fast forward to the Summer time and I'd started to figure out what was going on. Toxic people can really dominate your mind, but the energy is in what you give those thoughts. The song discusses this and says push them out, it really makes no difference to them how much energy you put into overthinking. Give yourself a break is what I was saying to myself.
For the music nerds, the time signature switches from 3/4 to 4/4 and the mode changes too. Points for identifying how. :)

Lyrics
Consciousness (I’m on the edge)
Copyright All Rights Reserved By That Clare 19th Feb 2023
Intro:
I’m…on the edge
I’m…on the edge
Verse 1:
I don’t know
where I’m going
Walking into the sun
An aura obscures everything
In a dream world
Tears in my eyes
Interlude:
I’m…on the edge
I’m…on the edge
Verse 2:
Find a way
Forward from here
Sensory overload
I’m freaking out
Need to wind your neck in
Calm down
You over think everything
You’re just making it worse
Chorus:
You will get through
If you push out those
That live rent free in your head
They don’t deserve any time or to occupy
Your consciousness
Verse 3:
Get some sleep tonight
Go easy on yourself
Take time for to rest
It’s tough but I know
That you will fly again
You can do it without them
Chorus
You will get through
If you push out those
That live rent free in your head
They don’t deserve any time or to occupy
Your consciousness
(Repeat x2)
