She was pleased with how they sounded, and used Bias Peak to bring them in-line with ITU BS.1770 standards. Suddenly, after a rousing game of chase-and-mouse, the housecat (Salum) ran into her bedroom with his typical brusque countenance.
"Hey, who's been raving out to some GROOVY tunes?", and SaylemCat suddenly started dancing on the keyboard of the computer. All was quite funny, when Salem the cat hit upload by accident and sent the tracks raining from the New England attic onto Soundcloud in the future, via inter-timeal-dimentional-modem-travel. Now the tracks are being uploaded and the social media is updated by Salem the cat, from an old colonel dutch-house, somewhere in 1996.

The same mistakes again
The same old thing
Hey itβ²s making me
Into someone else
And I'm losing it
Donβ²t wanna lose myself
Don't wanna lose myself
(The thought of losing it all)
This is how I feel
The same mistakes again
The same old thing
Hey it's making me
Into someone else
And Iβ²m losing it
Donβ²t wanna lose myself
Don't wanna lose myself
You have a hold on me
Told you so
And I know it works this way
(You have a hold on me)
I donβ²t want you bury the truth
(You have a hold on me)
I can't tear it away
Donβ²t wanna lose myself
And it's the side of me
I didnβ²t want you to see
And it's the fear of some
The thought of losing it all
And this is how I feel
The same mistakes again
The same old thing
Hey it's making me

In "Lose Myself," DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ expresses the fear of losing oneself to the same old mistakes and patterns in life. Despite the fear of being someone else, the singer does not want to bury the truth and wishes to hold on to their true identity. The chorus reveals that the other person (presumably a romantic partner) has a hold on the singer, which they acknowledge and seemingly do not mind, but they are afraid of losing themselves in the process. The bridge changes the perspective and reveals that the fear of showing a vulnerable or weaker side to others is also a factor in the singer's fear of losing themselves. Ultimately, the singer reiterates their desire to not lose themselves and their fear of losing everything important to them.
The lyrics of "Lose Myself" succinctly capture the fear of falling into old habits and losing oneself in the process. The repeated hook of the other person having a hold on the singer is a commentary on the power dynamics in relationships and how they can make one feel vulnerable. The bridge shows that the fear of being judged and losing respect is also a factor in one's fear of revealing a vulnerable side. The overall message of the song encourages listeners to hold onto their authentic selves despite the pressures and fears that may come with relationships.

Hi, Sabrina are you happy with how far you've gotten the DJ Sabrina or would you really like to reach even more people? With pop smashes like this I'm honestly so surprised you're getting such few coverage and views.
Edit: Honestly this is the DJ Sabrina I love the most : big sounding pop perfection with heavy reliance on vocals and killer instruments. Like it's crazy how good this sounds
Brett Stanley
@DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ You have a hold on me eternally. I donΒ΄t know anyone else that is able to capture pop perfection like you do. IΒ΄m pretty sure iΒ΄ve listened to you more than every other artist combined in 2022 so far. sorry if the first sentence makes me sound like a stalker lol, just wanted you to know how much your work has meant to me. Have a magical winter :)

@DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ Thanks for the reply! Hope you know that you have a very dedicated fanbase!! And I'm convinced that it's only a matter of time before you blow up even further
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ
Oh wow thatβs so kinda of you to say!! And in honesty, posts like this blow my mind with how far Iβve actually gotten with it! Iβd obviously LOVE to bring more people the same kind of feelings and emotions that I feel from music I love, which to me is the whole point of what I do in a way; but I never imagined to get anywhere in the first place, nor do I expect anyone to be here for the next album or next song or even next post, so itβs a constant wonder to meβ¦ I really couldnβt be more grateful every single day of how far this thing has gone!
