She was so wrapped up in herself she couldn’t see the real me. This song's got a great chorus and good build-up at the bridge.

Fresh straight ahead rock. It's powerful, melodic, fun, moody and punk depending on what song you're listening to. <br />But it's all THE NEAL.
Friend me on MySpace here: www.myspace.com/bfdneal I write and perform all music and lyrics, with the exception of the drums,which are either live,machine,or samples. Most of the recording and producing is done at my home studio. Most of my time is spent between L.A. and San Francisco and some of the talented artist I've had the honor of sharing the stage and playing with are: Slash from Guns 'n Roses/Velvet Revolver, Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters, Randy Castillo & Phil Soussan from 0zzy Osbourne, blues great Paul Butterfield,Bobby Vega(Sly Stone,Santana),and Greg Anton(John Lee Hooker,Zero). Past recordings include: Tara Sol(L.A.), Brantley Kerns(Dwight Yokum),Seanna Fisher(L.A.),Mama Iguana, Leo Fox, and others. The firery collaboration with Tara Sol got us to the top 50 finalist spot for the Annual Grammy Songwriting competition. I'm always ready to donate my time and energy to a good cause, past benefit concerts I've performed for include: the L.A. Weekly sponsered benefit for the Elizebeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation at Dragonfly in Hollywood. And a performance at a city wide street fair against crime in front of the Rampart Police Station (isn't it ironic?) with Jerome from The Time. In 1998 I toured with Angelique (Red Ant) as support talent on her American tour. In 2003 I scored 2 independent film shorts for fatfilmz.com and currently I'm working on new film projects. In 2004 I moved back to the Bay Area and this year marks the debut of my solo effort, check out my new tunes on the 'music' page. Also in '04, some 'Neal' tracks were used in the erotic thriller 'Hot Blood, part III'. The book version is available nation-wide in major chains and the director is working on getting this film picked up by a major cable network.

Story behind the song
This song was motivated by a relationship with someone who wasn't in tune with themselves. Thanks to Steve Smith from Journey for the drum samples.
Lyrics
You slam the door To say that you want more Your backwards fire just fuels my flame You play the game To attract the same Kind of bullshit I find vain Chorus: Right desire in wrong places You've shown me too many faces I can't go back, the feeling's not the same I've had enough Of your tricky stuff You're the storm that caused the rain Chorus: You think you can look right through me Find out that there's nothing to me Give it up, and save yourself some pain Cuz in the end you'll find there's nothing Worth your time, your pain and suffering After all, it's just a game Bridge: Soon you'll find, you're left behind I'm cashing out while I'm ahead You killed the thing, and broke the wing That brought this bird of love to bed Chorus: You think you can look right through me Find out that there's nothing to me Give it up, and save yourself some pain Cuz in the end you'll find there's nothing Worth your time, your pain and suffering After all, it's just a game Right desire in wrong places You've shown me too many faces I can't go back, the feeling's not the same Cuz in the end you'll find there's nothing Worth your time, your pain and suffering After all, it's just a game
