Red Light Fever Lyrics – JAIKEDA
Singer: JAIKEDA
Title: Red Light Fever
When I first came to Sunset Media Wave, I wanted to release an album. It was called “The Curtain Rises”. Jon said “It was ambitious”. He said that there were a lot of artists before me that wanted to do the same exact thing in the past but couldn’t pull through
I thought I could’ve done it. I still think I could’ve done it. I just- I thought if- I thought if I had enough passion and spirit and you know, energy to do it, I could do anything. So it wasn’t like I thought it was easy or anything, I just thought it was possible. I got to work right away actually. And then quarantine hit, but I was able to borrow a Macbook and I created like 10 great bеats. I even wrote lyrics to three of thеm and that would’ve been enough for an EP. I was set really. All I had to do next was to record them
And that’s what I couldn’t do. I couldn’t record myself. There was some sort of self-hatred I had where I couldn’t take the sound of my voice in every single take, every single time. I would record something and then I would delete it right after listening to it. I put on filters. I put autotune on, but no matter what I did, I still didn’t like how I sounded. I just wasn’t satisfied with it
A week left, we had an assignment where we went around and talked about possible obstacles we were facing. And we got Post-It notes detailing feedback and tips on how to get over it. And that’s when I realized I had red light fever. It’s when you start getting super nervous when you see that red record button on and it made sense. Every single time I had that mix in front of me, my voice started shaking and I got way too nervous to say words that were just written right in front of me
I had a week left. I still had time. All I had to do is to defeat this demon of mine. I didn’t mean to rhyme that, but if I could get over this, you know. I would be at least to finish the cycle and put something out you know. Everyone else had their own thing. They had art, they had drawings. Other artists- other musical artists, they had their own thing too. And maybe I would’ve got a full paycheck if I put anything out but-
I spent a lot of time pondering how to beat red light fever. Looking back, I should’ve been thinking about why I had red light fever. And in quarantine, the whole staying at home thing for days on end helped me realize why. It’s because I didn’t want to be clowned on for the things I made. From my friends, to people that don’t even know me, to people that don’t like me so they’re going to be looking for things to clown on me for. I didn’t want that
I was afraid of putting something I worked really hard on and still getting sh#t on by others for not matching their standard of these industry artists
And after realizing that, I just stopped caring. I came to the conclusion that I’m not going to put out something to please other people, I’m going to put out whatever I want. It’s that simple. If I wanted to put out a four-minute rant track over some guitar instrumentals I recorded when I don’t even know how to play guitar, I’m going to do it you know. I just wish I could’ve made this realization sooner because…
At the end of that cycle, I failed all expectations and couldn’t put out any songs
