FOOD (FINE DINING VERSION)

Food is originally from my first EP 'You'll Be Here'. The initially released version only had one verse and a looping chorus. I've always wanted it to have a bit more so here's the full version of Food!
Line by line; I wish I could just stay at home and do whatever I'd like, I don't want to die alone, I love eating pastries, and I feel like a lot of people share these sentiments.
Line by line; I don't want to feel like I'm working- but I personally love working on my passions, whenever we do go into our actual work places we usually have to force a smile to appease customers / residents that we serve, when we just want to make money (sugar), and yet again I feel like a lot of people share these sentiments.
It's natural for a person to feel some sort've attraction to a person who is social and outgoing, or a 'people person'.
But when we look for this specific person, we usually try to find similarities between one another.
These lines list out a bunch of different foods. The gist of the song represents food choices as different partners and possible relationships. The juxtaposition continues in the chorus.
The comparison between foods and people continue and despite all these choices, at the end of the day, I'd always choose the person I'm dedicated to.
The second verse continues with the theme of not wanting to be alone and wanting to be able to be considered a 'home' to someone else. Dead ass I couldn't think of something for the third line in this verse (yes you can blame me)
These lines are supportive of the possible partner, saying we could make things work and it could all be genuine.
The intent of the pre-chorus remains the same but some lines are slightly changed for variation.
Chorus repeats!
Me sending off the song with a cute promise🧑🍳😋🥞
Despite the formal feel, Bossa Nova style, and 'fine dining' title, the track ends with me using a microwave and the meal being cold and low quality.
