I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
The lyrics just presented themselves somehow. Maybe they are inspired by reading Eric Clapton's autobiography. I don't know. The textual structure is what I use to call episodical: don't expect a story but rather three different episodes that are somewhat linked. I considered writing a bridge but decided against it. I'd rather have a guitar solo. Both serve the same purpose.
"Drifting" resembles "Lost" but it's a bit darker. "Lost" is meant ironical - but maybe I'm the only one who looks at it that way, possibly because I don't have a car, "Drifting" isn't.
the idea came unexpectedly by thunderbird
it grew out of proportion causing some alert
I buried my head in the sand to say a prayer
and found my life had shifted to a different layer
I am drifting through time and space
and I can see it in your eye
that though I just try to avoid disgrace
you think I live a lie
but I am only drifting
she was a young cute lady and she pushed me hard
I tried looking cool but she gave me a start
we drank a cup but suddenly she flew away
I had no claim on her so what should I say
I am drifting through time and space
and I can see it in your eye
that though I just try to avoid disgrace
you think I live a lie
but I am only drifting
the man said he'd look after my spirituality
I asked how 'bout reaching a state of sanity
he said I need not bother 'cause there was no time
I didn't understand, he was way too sublime
and I'm drifting through time and space
and I can see it in your eye
that though I just try to avoid disgrace
you think I live a lie
but I am only drifting
