Capricorn Energy
Lyrics by: Sara Wilson
I have been working for months on this. Little pieces of it have been sprinkled around and even partially inspired by the Vocal community in some way.
Tiffy always calls me "Cappy Queen", and that's part of how this song idea was born. How did I not already have something representative of being a Capricorn? I don't know... but the more she said it, the more I knew it needed to happen!
There was also a comment I made in replies on a story about not caring what people think anymore. How I used to let what people think of me control everything to the point of keeping a lot of anger and sadness trapped away. The exact comment I made was, "I stopped worrying about what others think about me when I realized that they seldom even do." Right after I made the comment, a lightbulb went on and I wrote it down.
This poem was already being written but it was begging for a fun pop beat. I knew I wanted to make a music video for it and thought about earthy things. For me, it was immediately fairies. I know some of you have seen my fairy poetry and it's something I genuinely love to write about. When Paul mentioned he sees me as a fairy, another puzzle piece fell into place.
I made props (ears and a giant dandelion were the most fun and random things ever to make!) and utilized my backyard as well as a back drop and Capcut and thus, Capricorn Energy the music video was born. I even got my girls involved! They were so excited but got way too camera shy, so it's brief but I'm not mad about it. I love that they're included but I don't like sharing their faces publicly on the internet either. It was nice to be able to check both boxes.
I’ve written out the lyrics below for anyone who prefers to just read along. But if you're ready for a full, whimsical cinematic adventure, the music video is waiting for you at the bottom!
Capricorn Energy
I used to hold my breath for you
but that version of me is dead
I'm Capricorn energy, down to Earth
but still above you...
living rent free in your head
You seem confused by my new tone
but let's be perfectly clear
Am I being a bitch?
Or did I set boundaries
that you benefitted from me not having, Dear?
I stopped worrying
about what others think about me
when I realized that they seldom even do
I remembered who I was
and the game changed
Now, I'm the one
looking down at you
I'm not "being a bitch"
I'm just saying
what no one else
has the damn guts to
Bitch, I said what I said...
I'm finished playing nice
for you
Don't bring me gossip or petty lies
I've got no room for the misled
Stop trying to disturb my peace
by telling me what some
other bitch said
If you don't want a sarcastic answer...
Don't ask me a stupid fuckin question
OK?
I'm reclaiming my time and silence
Stop treating me like a game
Cuz I don't wanna play
You can be a good person
and still tell people to fuck off
It's time you knew
So, here's all that I have left to say...
Fuck them
and
Fuck
you
too
💚

what no one else
has the damn guts to
Bitch, I said what I said...

Capricorn energy
down to earth
still above you
Bitch, I said what I said
Fuck you
Fuck you
