about

The first interlude of Bright Campa’s – The Lonely Dilemma album, spoken from the camper himself. A remix from The Weeknd – Dawn FM album interlude, originally an iMessage voice memo sent to his girlfriend about his dark past. Consumed by the sinful matters of lust, Bright Campa was very fond of finding intimacy, and pleasure throughout his youth.

Bright Campa has mentioned being trapped in the lost pleasure of addiction, whether it involves drinking and doing drugs. He has now seen things differently, relapsing from debauchery. Concluding his retirement project, Bright Campa statement ends with a heartfelt moment to keep moving forward.

lyrics

[Spoken: Franklin]
I don't know what to say
But everything is gonna be good, you know?
The point I'm trying to say is that
I went through a lot in the past
I was consumed by lust
People thought I was happier
That I went through a sexual awakening, you know?
Being gay, being into other guys
But to be honest I was trying to fill in an empty heart
And even if I was dating, it just never works out
Because when it came to being gay
It was like being consumed by lust, and I was
And I believe that is the Devil way to get into my heart
Knowing that I felt empty every time
Empty, empty I'm trying to fill it with like cigarettes
Alcohol, and drugs, I'm trying to fill that hole
But now I'm sober, I'm clear, I see things differently
Now I'm with you and I feel happier
And I realize that you are the prayers I need
I may not always realize that
I mean, look at the bright side
It's bright today, haha, haha!
