Lockdown - Two Years Lyrics by ​onefourtyfiveam

2022

Today marks the two-year anniversary of when the UK went into full-country lockdown, preceeded and followed by many others. This time two years ago, I had already had my last day of school, because a couple of days beforehand it was announced that schools were shutting, and end of year exams were cancelled. No one had any idea of the scope of what was going to happen next.

It was announced that Boris Johnson was holding a "Ministerial Broadcast" at 8pm (or around that) in the evening of March 23rd. My family and I were all a little apprеhensive, and when hе said "you must stay at home," it was unbelievable. It's something that will probably never happen again in our lifetimes, and it took a while to sink in. And then, staying indoors began.

Lockdown feels like it went in a flash, but the memories I think about feel like a lifetime ago. I'm not going to describe my experience in depth, but I want to touch on a few aspects, a few scattered memories that jump out to me.

I remember how strange it was at first. The sudden shift to talking online, working out what I was going to do with myself. One thing that stands out is when I started a music blog. Although it's gone now, I really enjoyed writing about one of my passions. Honestly, I wish I'd discovered Genius so much earlier.

I remember how it made me realise I was an outsider in my friend group, too. The nail was really put in the coffin when I saw a photo in the summer online of the group meeting up, without me. I realised then that I'd been stuck in a toxic friendship, and got out of that. If anything, lockdown really highlighted to me that I should've found stronger friendships.

I felt very isolated at that time, and I tried to fill that void with the internet. I used friend-finding apps, and although I made a friend I still talk to on occasion, it mostly left me feeling as empty as I was, because of the harsh and irrevocable power the internet has - you don't get on with someone? Just block them and dissapear out of their life forever. And that hit hard.

When I came back to school and started sixth form, I felt like I didn't have that many friends. I felt as isolated as I did in lockdown, and in a school setting, that felt worse. But, it took a few months and a week of school to meet one of the most amazing people I'll ever meet.

This person made me feel special. They were the epitome of a great friend, but unfortunately I made a lot of mistakes. I took them for granted, didn't regulate my behaviour, and from last September, I lost contact with them and their friend group.

This was my fault. It took a few counselling sessions and a lot of self-reflection for me to realise my flaws, and it's going to take a long time (if ever) to fully get past my grief and fix my behaviour. I'm never going to be perfect, but I'm working towards "good".

I want to leave you with this, though. I love my friends, and I'm never afraid to express that. And I love this community of people I've met through Genius, especially on the Discord server. I'm in a far better position than I was during lockdown, and I'm noticing myself improving as a person.

To the 5 people that read all of this - thank you. I love to write things out like this, and I hope you found it interesting to learn more about me. I'm doing what Scope said - embracing my inner sappy.

Catch you later, Geniuses.💙
