When did lightning strike
Down from the purple sky
When was I electrified
When did all my honest words
Become bubbles and secrets
When was I driven to hide
Away from the world
And shielded and safe
Detached from things
Cradled to sleep
Cradled by the void
When did I hear thunder
And when did the storms stir
When did I cross these plains
To no man's land
Building castles,
Castles of sand
Away from the world
And shielded and safe
Detached from things
Cradled to sleep
Cradled by the void
I held a mirror to the world
To face my own reflection
What insights were there
That was me
What mirage was there
That was you
That was you
And then lightning struck
Down from the purple sky
And I was electrified
And I became a secret
That no one would ever know
Wastelands, wastelands
Where the wind will always blow
Away from the world
And away from the mirror
Away from the words
And I became a secret
And I drove myself to hide
Down, down, down
From the purple sky

this piece didn´t actually touch me but I liked these lines.
That's interesting because the piece is actually very, very personal. As always it's a matter of interpretation I guess. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteyeah I realized that it really meant something to you, I just couldn´t catch the feeling right... I don´t know. usually your very personal pieces touch me the most but this time it didn´t happen.
ReplyDeleteNo worries :)
