This song kind of follows the the same theme of a couple of others. I was desperately (and probably still am) trying to find my place. This song is all about that and what people may or may not think about you.
Adam Absher music
I just like to write and play. I cannot sing but really like to.
Story behind the song
My friend Courtney and I set down to write a tune much like we have several times in the past. He told me about a situation that he had encountered last halloween and the feeling that he wanted to convey in the song. He already had the music so I wrote the lyrics. I played with it for awhile and this is how it stands today. A little different then the original but the chord progression is the same. The music and the thought is all his. So he deserves all of the credit on this one. I would have never written this had it not been for him.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Looking through the glass,
Seeing life, and the shadows it casts.
What did you say?
My life has changed,
No sign of the past.
Verse 2
Where do I go?
No sign of,
The life that I know!
It's the life that I know.
So I step outside and see,
It's how I feel, It's the sign of something real!
It's the sign of something real!
Verse 3
And what do you do,
When you can't see?
The truth inside of you?
Verse 4
Reach beyond the shame.
Reach beyond the pain.
You hold the truth.
Verse 5
What do you see,
When your blind?
When your blind to me?
Verse 6
And I don't know,
What I've been told,
The lies continue to,
Continue to unfold.
Verse 7
I reach outside myself,
Searching for,
Searching for the wealth!
Verse 8
And the truth,
It lies,
The truth lies to me!
Verse 9
And you,
Continue
Continue to deceive.
Continue to deceive.
Verse 10
But I reach outside myself,
It's how I feel,
It's the sign of something real
Verse 11
But I step outside and see,
It's how I feel,
It's the sign of something real.
It's the sign of something real!
Verse 12
Looking through the glass,
Seeing life,
And the shadows it casts!
