this song is written over a gorgeous Sly Stone chord progression. the lyric is autobio. i was afraid to let people hear inside my head. i thot they'd b terrified or so aroused they'd take the music from me. now, i just give it to you good.
lyrics
muted symphony
i love the way my music sounds
when the major flies and the minor falls down
and there’s no one else around but me
and my muted symphony
i love the way my music swings
ever building and depreciating
and there’s no one else who could love it like me
so i hold it in, hold it in
i keep it to myself, let it echo thru the walls
of my little, tiny shell
where no one else can hear it swell
muted symphony
i love the way my music sounds
dry in the middle and wet all around
like an island and its ocean, a rhythm and its motion
muted symphony
i love the way my music swings
from early mornin til late in the evenin
so afraid to be outstanding, afraid to be seen

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
