Story behind the song
Prompted during the get-together of like minded singer/songwriters @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/songwritersfhaa.private [check us out and join us Tuesday nights] This is what I came up with using Band In A Box and my imagination.
Lyrics
Surreal
[2022/01/05]
[A]
Floating, falling,
running, crawling.
Feet solid on the ground.
[B]
Laughing, crying,
living, dying.
The empty, silence of sound.
Trusting, spying,
truthful, lying.
Smiles hidden by frowns.
Break:
[A]
Peaceful, brawling,
lazy, hauling.
Lost one's self, then found.
Stable, sliding,
existing, hiding.
Familiar and yet eerie sounds.
[B]
Earnest, joking,
clear skies, choking.
Feelings drove underground.
Faithful, cheating,
everything repeating.
That's my life homeward bound.
Break:
[B]
Neurons firing,
dreams hot-wiring.
Creating a landscape in my mind.
Waking, shaking,
a prison of my own making.
Trying to break those chains that bind.
