Hayden Forbes – Airwaves Lyrics

Airwaves Lyrics by Hayden Forbes

“Airwaves” is the eigth track off of Hayden Forbes’ debut album A Musician’s Nature.

Featuring vocals from The Foul Android, “Airwaves” is a song in a similar vein to “Seaside”. The two songs are almost yin and yang. The song opens with a spoken word written by The Foul Android then immediately cuts to a verse from Hayden. Unlike “Seaside”, it’s a lot higher energy.

[Intro: The Foul Android]
Hope’s a thing with feathers that’s perched in the soul
But when the cage is empty, it’s hard to feel whole
I take a shot from debt, and I’m laying, bleeding out
But it still keeps taking, can’t tell what it’s all about
I think I’m paying it off, but still, I haven’t won
Armed with a water balloon to quench the sun
The world’s so harsh and loud, I hold my ears
But I can’t keep doing this, for I’m holdin’ back tears
I have to say “Dickenson”, I think I get it
But after all those years of isolation, did you regret it?
All those years alone, behind the walls of stone
Did you ever wonder if it was ever really your home?

[Verse: Hayden Forbes]
Uh
Shoulda known I was trouble soon as ya hit play (Oh!)
Couple of bubbles’ll burst comin’ in this way
Aye man listen, I’ve come to spit a few disses
A mission fulfillin’ every inch of these rhythms
Into these little Prisms
My mind’s in an Eau Claire state
It’s human nature the way I’m spittin’ these airwaves
Rippin’ it like I’m spittin’ quick wit
Blow y’all away and it’s gone with the wind
Who knows how long it’ll be before you see it again
It depends Vivien
Little spiritual miracle yet it’s somehow recorded
Cause I bring intense flavors
Like the gum before this
Don’t ignore it, support it
I’m finally findin’ my bliss
Yet I’m getting so stressed
It’s an ironic twist
(Oh!)
Can’t I choose my own choice for once in my life?
(Yeah)
Don’t tell me this is wrong, this song is my right
So as long I write (yeah), the fight’s in my mic
Say the day should dawn on me, but it’s still my night
(Get ’em!)
My mind’s in an Eau Claire state (Claire state)
It’s human nature the way I’m spittin’ these airwaves (airwaves)
Yeah
A prophet riding these high winds
Who rhymes as the long as the sun and moon are still
Are still (What?)
Are still shining (Ooo)
Misdirection a blessin’ drop a few twists turns (Chicka)
Adjectives, verbs, and nouns are formin’ this verse (Mmm)
So I can
So I can (What?)
So I can hit this track and not fall flat
Presentin’ laps around this jazz blastin’ boom boom bap
Synchronicity spittin’ vividly on the beat and stoppin’ for no man
Until hell freezes over and then I build a snowman
I’m really in an Eau Claire state
Cold as the wind the way I’m spittin’ these airwaves
And I don’t brag about cars, you know that’s something I cadi-lack
Got a 2008 with duct tape (huh) and a frame cracked
But now this old me’s about to bite the bullet
Pluck emotional heartstrings?
Yeah somehow I pull it
So get out of my face
Before you see how I do it
Uh
Raised under law, watched those thinkin’ they’re above it (Yeah)
And spend time in jail cause bail isn’t in their budget
While I’m in doubter’s debt, my promises are ill funded
That’s why I’m 99% cause I can never give 100
But now
Yeah

[Outro: Hayden Forbes]
My mind’s in an Eau Claire state
Cold as the wind the way I’m spittin’ these airwaves
(One more time)
I’m really in an Eau Claire state
It’s human nature the way I’m spittin’ these airwaves
I’m dyin’ to find out what happens the moment this song’s sung
And know if I made the right choice or the wrong one
The wrong one
