EPIC - The Skeleton Key (demo, sans vocals/solos)
Written: 2008 (first half) and 2011 (second half)
OBQM is a solo studio project. I sing and play guitars and bass, keyboard sections, and programs drums in an attempt to weave dense sonic tapestries. All produc
Story behind the song
UPDATE: 11/1/12 - updated mp3 w/ keys uploaded
With the first half written in spring of 2008, and the second half (from the clean middle section onward) written the summer of 2011, this is one of my personal favorites -- definitely striving for an epic track here :-)
Lyrics
I. - The Bars
One day, I decided to flow away
Into another world where everything's okay
Next day, I realized that to my dismay
I may have just put my soul in a cage
Still,
Now,
Vice,
Pure
Steel,
Bars,
Come,
Through
II. - The Cage
Once upon a time I fell into another world
Cruising through the daylights of a time less defined
Falling deep asleep for the whole duration of life
Haunted by the dreams of a paranormalish vibe
Sixteen years have passed since I fell into the other world
Separating from the dream state my desires now clear
Comfort reigns supreme in my hopeless incarcration
Singing all the praises, yet I'm paralyzed with fear
Singin'
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Singin'
Oh, oh, oh
Life is love and love is life, again
III. - The Source
(Instrumental)
IV. - The Key
Breathing, obstacle and adversity gone
Bleeding, time to dress the wounds and carry on
Bleeding motors propel our hearts
Swiftly sailing to the thing in mind
Fly as we may, savor the day, deep in the mind, propel the grind
Deeper the fall, stronger the flow, visceral the drive, bearing in mind
Blast through the dream, rip through the seam, keep yourself keen, endlessly lean
Endlessly young, ivory-lunged, in step with Source, blazing the trail
We live in deception, misconceptions of the mind
Sacrificing soul for the sake of a bind
The key is within us, to achieve all that we may
Love smiles upon us as we go on our way
