Ok... This is based around not being yet able to search for band members, and what I'd do if I could. The rest of the meaning is about the determination I have for this. I'm never going to stop putting forth an effort, because though it's a remote chance, in no way, does that mean that there is no chance at all. The title to this one is, "Rivers"...
"Rivers"
-Boat sits on the bank.
For now, the storms ocurring
are keeping me out of the water.
I want to explore
a motion so warm and free.
I know what's truly possible, and I'm limitless,
in this effort.
(Chorus):
Rivers...
-They lead to oceans.
With my paddles abiding, I'll make
my way, downstream.
When given the "all-clear,"
I'll row with persistance.
I know I'll reach the ocean, eventually.
It's only a matter of "when?"
I wanna' float away
on the ride that's ahead of me.
Miles between me and those open waters,
there's little concern
with anything, that may halt me.
This flow is directional, and I'm adamant.
Give up(?) -Never.
(Chorus)
But once I get to the ocean,
my travel is far from over.
The actual destination
can't be accessed by just anyone.
The lesser-willed will flip over, and drown.
To cross the ocean and
find this place I'm seeking, you must be
undyingly, determined...
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
I'll reach the ocean.
I'll work to cross it as well.
Though the destination
isn't met without great struggle, I'll face the swells,
and anything else.
(Very, very short Interlude)
Rivers lead to oceans,
and an ocean can lead you
to blissful emotions,
in abundance.

It's kind of funny... Some of the people who know me personally, think that I'm very strange sometimes. Yes, I admit music is like an obsession with me, and that I speak in medaphors a lot more, since shortly after I began to write as much as I was recently. These people, in my opinion, are partially blind. They look at professional musicians (during interviews, etc.) in the same way that they look at me, but of course' they can't think that they are as strange, because they've "made it." I'm wondering if those same musicians would've gotten anywhere with their music if they listened to people say, "You're strange.", and, "Do you know how remote that is?" There are many factors involved, but if I got the right group together, continued to further my writing and singing abilities, and worked as hard as humanly possible, I know that it is in fact, a possibility.
It may sound strange to some, but if those people actually thought about it, success in music, almost always, requires what makes some aspiring musicians seem strange: Strong determination, and a passionate attitude which revolves around the goal in mind. Do I care what they think? -No. I have no clue if people will like the way my voice sounds, or if I will ever be able to give others joy, through my music. But I'm more than willing to find out. I see it like this: My passion for music may seem strange, but so be it. At least I'm passionate about something.
I'm gonna' end this now, and go restart my computer. If that was all explained poorly, I apologize, and I hope you, at least, enjoyed the lyrics. If I do seem to be strange in my thinking, be kind. When it's something related to music, I think a lot deeper about it, than anything else.
Cheers and a smile, All!
