about

"I’ve been performing this song on tours for over a year and it always feels amazing to channel that level of raw emotion into the mic. It is the reflection of frustration of years of hard work: putting shows together, sleeping on couches and working multiple jobs, all for the sake of having my voice heard.

The song is a message of anger and hurt towards those who haven’t supported me in my journey. Given its aggressive punk rock nature, I chose the legendary bay area DIY venue, 924 Gilman as the setting for the music video. Simple and stripped down, director Bryan BLeev Lee and I weren’t concerned with making me look pretty or poised. This piece is all about authenticity and raw emotion.

lyrics

Another night another let down
Wanna cry but I'm too proud
Can’t bring myself to call you out
So I hold it in for now

Can’t show you that it matters
Whether or not you’re there
Shit would look pretty different
If you actually cared

Yo, I've done so many shows
Wondering if you would appear
Hoping I have enough drink tickets
To wash it all down with beer

I murk stages every night
And there's the internal fight
I shouldn't give a fuck
I'm getting enough love

From strangers and my fan base
It’s growing every day
Don't want those who aren't there
To overshadow a new face

My pride is always compromised
I handle it with grace
Cause you have no idea
I'm keeping it that way

Thank God for this pen and paper
And the attention of strangers
For without some kind of outlet
I know that I'd be in danger
Of losing my shit

Disappointment, ohhh
Disappointment, yeahh
Disappointment

Disappointment
Disappointment

Because of people like you
Now I know the ugly truth
That no matter what I do
I'll end up with the blues

I could do amazing things
Win awards for what I sing
Perform for the president
But you still wouldn't give a shit

No power, yes I know
Over how you feel for me
And even of there was hope
You'd probably never let me know, so

I hope that the spotlight
Is extra bright tonight
Shining so hard in my eyes
That I almost go blind

The whole place will just be cutouts
While I hear them scream and shout
But I know you aren't there
Without a shadow of a doubt

I hope they buy me extra shots
Some x after my set
To distract me from the letdown
So faded I forget

Then all I could remember
Is how much they all loved me
And how I just bared my heartbreak
Where I’m okay being seen
Losing my shit

Disappointment, ohhh
Disappointment, yeahh
Disappointment

Disappointment
Disappointment

Day in and day out
Set up to be let down
I do it cause I have to
Ain’t no other way around

I strip myself bare behind the pop screen
Tears in my eyes, I sweat, I bleed

For every small victory
Is a little bittersweet
Cause another one has shown me
That they’re still not down for me
