This is pretty much a summary of a lot of different feelings I've written about (seperately), put into one written song. I wrote it earlier today (a.k.a. before midnight), and the theme of it, is me wanting to be able to move ahead with all I wanna' do, and by following my heart. But in wanting to do so, it feels like my heart is "being held captive" by uncontrolled circumstances, even though I know it's there. The medaphor I used is based on that, and it's basically personification of my heart standing behind me, and held there by the circumstances, also personified. It's called "CardiaCaptivity".
"CardiaCaptivity"
-Rick, "RiCterMan," Strayer, fecit.
Life is nothing, when you feel
like your heart is close behind
you, but you'd rather follow it,
and everytime that it calls your name,
you turn around, to find that time
won't let it move, to lead you instead.
(Chorus):
It's like, your living heart is held captive,
and harsh reality
points and laughs at you.
You hear the beating, but you can't save it.
Each pulse, racing to catch up.
You, nor it, are in stride.
-So confused, but certain that you know this:
There is a line where it ends somewhere, someday.
You know your heart could find that line,
if it were allowed to tug you ahead.
(Chorus)
(Moderately Long Interlude, envisioned)
(Bridge):
-Held in arms,
like an infant, in it's mother's.
But there's no comfort,
sent forth from these arms; only harm.
These arms, won't let my heart-
let my heart be apart from (them.)
These arms won't let my heart-
let my heart be apart from (them.)
These arms...
won't let my heart... (find the way.)
These arms...
won't let my heart... (be free, and)
guide me.
(Chorus)
How does one save a heart, so restrained?

Hey..., before some of you write off the second part to the Bridge in these lyrics, just know that it is true that it looks way to repetitive written out. I can easily see that. However, I love the way it sounds. It's one of the more satisfying bridges that I've put into a piece of lyrics. But I hope that some of you will find this to be kinda' interesting. I know I enjoy reading other's creative lyrics, and that's why I share mine. If others can find enjoyment in them, cool. If they don't, there's always something new waiting to be written, that they may enjoy later. -And it's 6:23 a.m. now. I seriously need to get back to sleepin' at night again. lol. Take care, everyone. Later! |

well done Ric! excellent theme and description, I love the way you repeat at the end, I can hear it as I read it. . . . good job!!
this world and the circumstances for survival do have a way of holding us back from following our heart, it's a battle for sure . . good luck in your search! |

Thanks keith. I'm glad ya' liked it. The thing is, right now I'm searching for a full band to work on creating some great music. I have all these ideas, which are shown only as the parts that say "(Short Interlude, envisioned)." I wouldn't neccessarily use my ideas, 'cause that wouldn't be a group effort. But I probably won't have audio up for a while, at least.
Erick: Thanks much to you as well. This bridge came to be very satisfying to me. -dunno' if it's anything beyond good, but yeah, it's satisfying to what I was goin' for. I'm glad you liked it, and I'm also glad you were able to see what I was talkin' about in the words. It's like everything inside of me feels stuck within the skin, and it's true that people and circumstances are holding all of it there. I can do it though. Then, all the "skeptics" will see all that they doubted transformed into myself being a different man, and with different circumstances. Thanks for the good luck, and take it easy.  Later, man! |
