Story behind the song
Story Behind the Song I had this poem stuck in my music book, and I thought about putting it to music, never thinking that it would actually go to music. But I tried the first line, and it seemed to work.
Lyrics
Lyrics Tiny Cells are dancing , traffic passing , moving, thinking, blood and brain is matter. Doesn't matter. Is the only thing that matters. Does the psyche sputter, stop and blink out fountain working Is the brain in balance, am I different today? am I still the same? Awaken in the future eyes are darting wildy looking for a frame of reference. Do I feel the pain? Can I start again? feel the panic apprehension of the moment now appearing when I realize this moment is gone and another may not come Did I fall asleep? Did I fall asleep? Have I been asleep A way to play and tease yourself and tempt yourself with morbid interest in the future. The future is now could I see it coming? TO the future by the future in the future from the future like the Future Can I forget the past? Why is it gone so fast? In my dreams you held me like a baby sleeping soft and soundly falling over †Did I fall asleep? Did I fall asleep? Have I been asleep
