Allright, here's the indie song I promised you.
How does it feel to taste it?
In your mouth
and on your tongue
How does it feel to see it glow
instead of you?
How does it feel to draw
that venom
down your lungs
When you know as well as I
you hate it
Things are never as good as they seem
And still we long to taste it
If we do our dreams dissolve
You get too close,
too real,
too mean
So only smoke when you are drunk
And blame it on the drinks
Only smoke when you are drunk
Only inhale, exhale, all that junk
when you are drunk
Only smoke when you are drunk
All the glamour in a pill
for you to take
The easy escape in a kill
for you to make
How does it feel when your addictions clash?
You know that you're addicted
How does it feel to be controlled?
It takes your role
When we do our dreams dissolve
So only smoke when you are drunk
and blame it on the drinks
Only smoke when you are drunk
Only smoke when you are drunk
Only exhale, inhale
When you're drunk
How does it feel to be addicted to life?

Right, so to begin with the form of this song was quite different from what I usually write, but while typing it, it grew more and more similar to my normal style. I've tried to keep the originial aura of the lyrics while rewriting it, and still think it breathes of something a bit unusual, a bit new. Hope you'll enjoy this slow song, about being tempted, addicted, and drawn to things we know we have no business doing with - I enjoyed it a lot while writing it (singing in my car at 1 AM in the morning as it should be).
AWESOME POEM BECCA! The vibe is powerful as it reverberates through my mind. You did a great job with messages in this lyric, everything was perfection, great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! <3 I was afraid a lot of people might interpret it very literally, that's why I took such care to write out that it's comprised of metaphors. =D
ReplyDeleteno need to worry cuz its beyond any expectation i could hold for you. Its what I'd call a refreshing change in style, but still not drifting far away from the usual.
ReplyDeleteHaha allright, I'll settle with that. =D I'd almost forgotten how fun it is to write experimentally :P
ReplyDeleteSounds kinda weird when you first hear it, but it's filled with a lot of meaning when you manage to get in the bottom of it.. Love it! Good job! =)
ReplyDeleteThat's also the intention! Glad you find it meaningful too, and not see it being all about the cigarettes... :D
