Hey everyone,
My name is Rick. You may refer to me as that, or a pseudonym I am beginning to
use, RiCter Man; hence the username. Anyway, this is the most personal song I have
written, and I’ll briefly explain it before I type out the lyrics, by breaking down the title.
That will show the truest meaning of the song. I’d like you all to know, the song is all
kinds of feelings I’ve been going through, expressed through writing. I’m a lot more
positive than it may seem. All that said, here it goes.
The Black Hole= An outer space phenomenon that causes an object to permanently
vanish.
Manifest= To make clear or evident to the eye, or the understanding.
Festival= A personal reference to the Ferris Wheel. The ride you all know about, that goes up and down, and around and around. It symbolizes the emotional “ride”, so to
speak, that I am on.
“The Black Hole Manifestival”
Lately everything is an irritant.
I am too.
It’s strengthening.
But hold the thought.
I’m at a loss for words
again.
(Chorus):
It seems that all ears go deaf
when I
try to get through.
Help...
I’m losing what is left
of what I’ve always known to be:
the person that is fading
from view.
(Where have I gone?)
Lately steady seems to be more than prevalent,
ringing through
the new found beat.
I’m hearing a complex pattern;
Lost and bothered,
again.
(2nd singing of Chorus)
(Bridge):
It seems I’ve wandered far away this time.
It’s much farther, than before.
I’m thinking Mongolia, deep in the Gobi Desert.
I’m fading fast, state of Health and mind declining.
Losing the fight...,
Control, strength, and life.
The path is supposed to be chosen,
not suddenly realized that it chose you.
It seems that all ears go deaf,
every time... I try.
I’m still alive, and I’m willing to try, but I am left to find-
(3rd singing of Chorus)
Losing me, (Repeat twice more)
and ability.
Still, the irritants remain.

UPDATE (to come): New song written today- 5/12/05. It is going to shock anyone who read this song, because since about 3 days ago, I have been astounded with rapid
improvement in my emotional feelings. I’ll post it sometime, but not too quick. Sorry if too lengthy, and Thanks for any feedback you send.
Cheers and a Smile, All!
