lost

Often my songs and lyrics ideas start with a vague idea what I might write about. Recently I've come up with three new subjects which I would like to cast into songs:
- lost revolutions or rebellions, or rather the eternal rebel (catch phrase might contain a line like "I won't give up");
- (we're on the) wrong track (just this line, could be about a relationship which has ceased to function);
- being lost.

As to the latter song idea I've already begun writing lines and finding rhymes for the verses. here they are:

no sense of direction
in a dark and stormy sea
the mist obscures my vision
looks like the end of me

got stuck in a traffic jam
the turnoff should be  near
if I'll manage to change the lane
I've got no idea

the distances are shortened
the clocks on earth are slow
which is my destination
I might never know

I considered an additional verse about being lost in the desert. But since I only want three verses these ideas might do. I particularly want the part about the traffic jam included because it adds a little irony to the text, and reduces the sense of threat and darkness. My niece once complained that my songs are always very dark and negative ("passage", "cathedral", "black cloud" ...). But actually I often include ironic parts to indicate that I don't quite mean them that way.
