Hi, I'm Call Me Karizma, and this is me going track by track through my new EP, The Gloomy Tapes, Vol. 1.
"Angel" is a song I wrote about growing up in a home with my mother who is, bad in alcoholism, ever goes through shit and I know a lot of people can relate to what I said on that track, so I thought I'd be good to start the album with that
"God (Damnit)" is a song about me being on the road, touring and have a girl back home, and fucking up a lot. and her still loving me for some reason, and there's kinda me being like "god damn it, how can you still love me? you are so perfect, and I'm just, you know, I'm messed up."
"Rockstar" is a song I wrote over a year ago now, and it's me kinda saying what I wanted from the start, like I wanted to be a rock star, have money, clothes and hoes you know? Like that whole thing, but it turned out more into less about that and more about me advocating what I believe in
"Johnny" is about a mentally ill kid who does some fucked up shit and I wrote that because I'm very passionate about that. I deal with mental issues as well, I was thinking so why not write about that, something that doesn't get enough, like, these kids need help and they're not getting it, and I think it can lead to terrible events like school shootings and shit, so I just wanted to speak on that
The final song is called "Let Me Go." It's about from the time I wrote my first song when I was 10 years old to 22 and planning headline shows across the country, and it was just like kind of showing my growth, and it was just kind of to my parents saying "yo, let me go, let me do this shit." Like, I can prove you and a bunch of people that you're wrong and it's all love, you know, so, I thought that was a great outro for the first EP. So, I think you guys can fuck with it, this is my life, no filters, here we go
