This song is about me discovering what was really going on in my life when I was a kid and trying to deal with it and staying strong.
My band is just me and my instruments. I record all my songs in my bedroom with my computer mic and my 'Cool Edit Pro' software.
My band is just me and my voice and my instruments.
Story behind the song
I had a pretty scary childhood and this song is about discovering what was really going on. I tried to hold all my problems in and this is about revealing myself to myself and trying to forget all my troubles.
Lyrics
Blue Eyes
Mad at the world no place to go,
I can't wait 'till I grow old.
I'm sorry I can't get you, but please understand,
I wasn't raised by my momma, I was raised by my dad.
I have hidden anger and I hide it well,
I've got everything it takes to excel.
With my white picket fence and my fancy preppy clothes,
It looks like I have everything, but nobody knows.
Chorus: My pain as a child, Oh I hid it good.
I didn't understand but my ground was
stood.
I admit I did cry, but for my sis I
stayed strong,
I looked in my dads eyes and I knew
something was wrong.
You look at me like there is no pain,
But look deep in my eyes and its not the same.
They are grey underneath my cover of blue,
My life is a cover and a cover I grew.
Somewhere between quietness and finding me,
I saw things I'd hope I'd never see.
I would let it all out but it was a lie,
I got upset to let you know something was wrong I wanted to let know tried
Chorus
Bridge: I get courage now and I let it all out,
You just say nothing and just start
cryin', cryin' outloud
I'll take jow in your sorrow. laugh at
your pitty pain,
Its just an "okay" I want and pitty is
just not the same.
One day I got tired and let it all out,
Rain stopped falling now more grey clouds.
I've waited every moment for this to come,
Blue eyes from now on, I'm all done.
I've hid long enough and I've really found me,
Even though I hate change I guess this is the way it is ment to be.
Even though.
Chorus
You learn to let go.
So learn from my mistakes and learn from your own,
Let the past be the past and your home be your home.
Forget the screams, pain and cries,
Let the grey go away and show your blue eyes.
Show your blues eyes, show your blue eyes.
