These are some lyrics I wrote yesterday, and the idea behind them is really very simple... What if I looked at my entire situation right now, and just thought, "I'm against all of this, and that's that..."? As I'm posting this right now, I have missed the bus to go to work, not because I'm irresponsible, but because of a reason I can't figure out, my alarm clock failed to sound today. I called in work, and the head manager didn't seem upset, but everyone knows this shit doesn't look good. The first two lines of this could easily be applied to this morning. Onto what I wrote.....
"Suppose Eyes Opposed"
-Rick, "RiCterMan," Strayer, fecit.
I'm not quite there,
but I'm never really here, either.
I'm not quite scared,
but this, bravery seems absurd.
-And maybe it's only
a matter of time,
or maybe it truly doesn't
matter to try.
-I don't suppose,
(Chorus):
though I'm supposed to know.
What if I were to oppose?
What if I, kept my eyes closed?
Who are they to decide?
They have no sense of sight.
I'm impatient and their eyes will never know
all I want and all I hold.
All I feel right now, is all that I oppose.
I'm not so clear,
but I've got a lot more together now.
I'm not "to hear;"
I'm only "to ignore."
-And maybe it's only
a matter of mind over stumbles,
or maybe this matter actually
is no matter, of mine.
-I don't suppose,
(Chorus)
(Short Interlude, envisioned.)
I- am- no, wasted life.
I have grown beyond my old discourse...
Further and farther are worthwhile goal-markers
that I hope to surpass.
I am not to fail.
-That's over.
But suppose that my eyes opposed...
Who would lead (me)
through (your) shoulders cold?
(Revised Chorus):
I'm supposed to know the road,
but I used to see and oppose,
until I became a mime, with my eyes closed.
-And here now, others decide
that I still lack the sight.
I'm impatient and they will never know
all I want and all I hold.
All I feel as it surrounds, is all that I oppose.
EnD
-And that's that one.... I hope some of you could enjoy these, 'cause I don't write them only to express myself. I try to create something artistic based on my feelings, and/or observations. That's why I post them on here a lot of the time... They're definitely personal to me, but this is a site for people who try to write and create art. Therefore, the words are still personal, but it's possible some will see the images that I'm hoping to send out. Thanks to anyone who reads. Later! |

i tend to sing allong with peoples lyrics just to see what kind of song i can get from it...this is a very well flowing song. I like this part the best i think, donno why it just made me happy for some reason
"I'm impatient and their eyes will never know
all I want and all I hold.
All I feel right now, is all that I oppose."
good work Ricter

Hey, Rick. It's been a while, but I still remember you 
These words, I think could have many different contexts to different people.
The line "supposed to ignore", to me is the 'trend' of looking the other way when people see something wrong happening to preserve self from similar events. I've written lyrics to that effect, as well.
Nice work.
That fact hasn't changed in the time I've been absent. |
