I Make My Own Gravity
(Verse 1)
Saw your message, said you're worried about me
Out here spinning wild, so unpredictably
Drew a little diagram with a sun and a ring
Said 'this is how it works, babe, this is everything'
I know you mean well, with your physics and your grace
But I tore up the instruction manual for this place.
(Pre-Chorus)
They tried to name my category, put me in a file
Wrote me out of their star story, wasn't worth their while
Too big to be a planet, too small to be a sun
So I started a rebellion of one.
(Chorus)
'Cause I make my own gravity, honey
Got a core that burns on nothing but pride
No sun to circle, it’s not even funny
How much better I feel on this solo ride
Don't need your orbit to feel complete
I'm the rogue little world generating my own heat.
(Verse 2)
Remember parties where I'd bend my light for you
Pretending your perfect system was something I'd fall into
Practiced all the pleasantries, learned to play the part
But there's a different engine running in my heart
I'm cutting the cosmic tether, the imaginary string
You can keep your constellations, I'd rather just sing.
(Pre-Chorus)
They tried to name my condition, put me on a list
A celestial miscalculation somebody missed
Too strange for their formation, too quiet for their war
I’m the thing they can’t explain anymore.
(Chorus)
'Cause I make my own gravity, honey
Got a core that burns on nothing but pride
No sun to circle, it’s not even funny
How much better I feel on this solo ride
Don't need your orbit to feel complete
I'm the rogue little world generating my own heat.
(Bridge)
Go on, call me a wanderer, call me a mistake
But every single trajectory is a choice I make
I'm not falling, I am aiming through the dark
Following my own incandescent spark
You trace the heat back, but there’s no star in sight
Yeah, that warmth is coming from me. I am my own light.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Funky, distorted guitar solo over a pulsing synth-bass. The lead melody is defiant and lyrical, with lots of string bends and wah-pedal swells. It feels like a joyous, energetic breakaway.)
(Chorus)
I make my own gravity, baby!
Got a core that burns on nothing but pride!
No sun to circle, it’s not even funny
How much better I feel on this solo ride!
Don't need your orbit to feel complete
I'm the rogue little world generating my own heat!
(Outro)
Generating my own heat, yeah
Oh, you can't box me in
I make my own... gravity...
(Bassline grooves, a final synth flourish, and a sharp cut to silence)
About The Song
This track is a defiant anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit into a pre-defined system. The core metaphor is drawn from the astronomical discovery of 'rogue planets' or 'brown dwarfs'—celestial bodies that drift through space without orbiting a star. These 'orphan' planets generate their own internal heat but aren't massive enough to ignite into stars. This limbo state is reframed not as a lonely existence, but as a powerful, chosen independence. The narrator rejects the 'gravity' of societal or relationship expectations, declaring 'I make my own gravity.' Musically, the song borrows the confident, talk-sung verses and bold, anthemic choruses from artists like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. It’s an empowering synth-pop track that turns the feeling of being an outsider into a declaration of radical self-reliance.
Production Notes
Vocals: The lead vocal should have a modern, in-your-face presence. Use a Neumann U87 into a Neve 1073 preamp and a touch of compression from a Tube-Tech CL 1B on the way in. Verses should be dry and conversational. For the chorus, stack at least 3-5 harmony layers, panned wide, with a brighter EQ and a plate reverb (like a Valhalla Plate) to give them size and loft. The final line of the bridge, 'I am my own light,' should have a distinct, slightly distorted 'megaphone' effect that snaps back to clean for the final chorus.
Arrangement: The track is built on a tight, funky four-on-the-floor drum machine beat and a driving, syncopated bassline (a live Fender P-Bass would be ideal). Layers of analog-style synths (like a Juno-60 or Arturia emulations) provide the harmonic bed. The verses are sparser, letting the bass and vocals dominate. The chorus explodes with wide synth pads, arpeggiators, and the layered vocals.
Mix Automation: The key is dynamics. The mix should feel smaller and centered in the verses and then explode in width and volume for the choruses. Automate the synth reverb and delay sends to increase in the choruses and bridge. The final 'gravity' in the outro should have a long, automated delay trail that gets filtered down to nothing before the hard cut.
