Story behind the song
'Richard' is a name part taken from a silly childhood idea that I liked the name, and it's also my Brother's middle name. It is also used because of a very influential book I like called 'Life of Pi' by Yann Martel, where the character, Richard, is a Royal Bengal Tiger.
Lyrics
I found Richard, Richard in my place
When he looked back at me, I recognized his face.
Who’s this pseudonym, looking through my soul,
Am I losing it, or did I find a hole?
I’m going backwards - Didn’t realise my fate
I’m heading backwards - Never to late
I’m falling backwards - No matter what they say
Rolling in the wrong direction - To my dismay
Does it mean I have to choose, Does it mean I have to lose?
Why do I keep asking myself. Why I don’t leave it to someone else?
Seeking answers to so many questions
How can I see the light, beyond your suggestions?
If you flood the picture, you can’t see a thing,
Just take it bit by bit, and then we can sing
I found Richard, Richard in my place
When I looked back at him, he recognised my face
I discovered my pseudonym, looking through his soul
I’m not losing it, just becoming more whole…
I going forwards, now I opened the gate,
I’m heading forwards, never too late
I’m leaping forwards, where it will take me I don’t know,
Rolling in the right direction, however slow….
