Lost in Life

Lost in Life is a 2019 promotional single by Wesley Evans. The song was released on April 26th, 2019, in combination with the song, Out of Money. These songs served as the lead songs for Evans' third EP, We Came Unprepared.

Background
We Came Unprepared was based off of a poem that Evans' made for him as a joke. She wrote an acrostic poem about college. Evans looked at this for a while, but never wanted to do anything with it. After he finished writing the songs for Satisfied, Evans felt as though this acrostic poem would be fun to work with. He thought that it would be a fun challenge to make that poem the tracklist for a project.

Composition
Lost in Life is an electropop song, that begins and ends with elements of a ballad. The song is written in the key of B major, at 102 beats per minute, and lasts for 3 minutes and 45 seconds. The intro and outro of the song use the chords A-f#m, which are borrowed from the key B minor.

Lyrics
I came unprepared

unprepared for this

Life’s just too much

I just need a break

I used to be on top

but now what has happened

I think I’ve lost it all

but now I’m abandoned

What’s going on

can someone tell me

why

I’m lost in life

Doing nothing right

Lost all my might

but in due time

will I win this fight

Why am I so confused

I can’t make my mind up

I’m so indecisive

when did it get so tough

We came unprepared

unprepared for this

Trivia

 * Evans had already planned to use the name We Came Unprepared for the project, before he wrote this song. He felt that this song was the most fitting to use the title as a lyric.
