Story behind the song
Socrates is an exploration of the uncertainty, unfairness, and often tragic nature of life - and the realization that even though there is bad, there is good that often come from it. The minor chords of life can help us appreciate the major chords. Eventually, I hope to make this a central song in a musical I'm (trying) to write.
Lyrics
'Life goes on,' she says, and pours the cream into a cup of java
'Sometimes life is short, and sometimes life can burn,
that much is for certain.'
It breaks her heart to hear the minor chords
And separated tones
It doesn't matter how they heal, a scar's a scar is still a scar
It's so hard
And in the night,
The pale moonlight casts' shadows on the shore
Ghosts appear
Like smoke from burnt out cigarettes,
They burn
Life's like bittersweet, life's a dash of nightshade in your tea
(a deadly tease)
and fate's the wine that paralyzed the mind of brilliant Socrates
(Lord please!)
Take the time,
Remind me please of sunny southern skies
And lullabys
Don't condemn
The good for being bad, you know
The rain must fall but it soaks into the ground
Where love is found
