What It Felt Like
By orangedrink on May 22, 2016 10:17 pm
UH I've only done 1 guitar song this year. So here's a last minute guitar song - written yesterday and today. I feel good about the arrangement and the lyrics, I don't feel that confident about the singing. But in the spirit of WB I said screw it, let's do it. I would like to do a super heavy version of this with drums and guitars and some noise. I like the "ghost voice of death" at the end, that's a typical thing I like to do. I waver a bit on the notes, but maybe that is endearing and makes it more emotional. Who knows? I really like the outro section chords and lyrics. The verse has two chord progressions, they have variations of the same notes in different orders.
I love you all, even if I don't comment on your tracks! Just so exhausted from making these! Going to try and catch up with the backlog. Hang in there, all! HUGS AND KISSES, DREW

Lyrics:
Look at this window
I can’t see me I only see you
Something about this doesn’t feel right
(if you try to see your reflection in a window, you might not see yourself at all. so this might be about holding on to someone's memory and losing a sense of self)
Try to remember
I barely feel alive
Now I can’t remember which one of us died
It’s time to move on
Look at this mirror
The face is now looking through
Someone’s there on the other side
Now I remember
What it felt like when I died
The memory makes me so alive
(could be about when the other person died and remembering them makes them alive. could be about remembering when the narrator felt spiritually dead, that memory of "how empty it was" reminds them that they are alive today)
It’s time to move on
I’m not all right
Just passing time
Because everyone
Everyone will die
(this is supposed to have a double entendre of "i'm not okay with just passing time because I want to do something" and "i'm not okay. i am just passing time. I am not doing anything")
