Blind
When I was young I learned not to play with fire
But I’m still catching fallout of wild desire
We all feel the burn day after day
And you give, you give, you give yourself away
Everywhere I turn
Everything I see
This world is burning bright
And I’m going blind
And the hammer falls on a world gone blind
Where gold is god and consumes our mind
We’re all drunk on the things we feed our eyes
Our thoughts consumed by cheaply bought lies
Everywhere I turn
Everything I see
This world is burning bright
And I’m going blind
life is more than this
you’re worth so much more than this
love is more than this
worth so much more than this
leave it behind
Everywhere I turn
Everything I see
This world is burning bright
And I’m going blind
This world is burning bright
And I’m going blind
let’s hear it!
Love that song…
Yeah, I want to hear what it sounds like. Let’s start with the basics: Major scale or Minor scale?
I also noticed that you re-did your categories side-bar. It looks good; I’ll take the credit for it.
i like the sound of that song……….sounds almost like something i would write. I especially liked the second verse. The hammer was a nice touch.
the first verse just got me thinking though of u2…….”And you give, and you give, and you give yourself away…..ohhhhhhhhh….,ohhhhhhhh………….” and i dont even really like them that much……
Ya, there are two inadvertant U2 references in there. Can you spot the other one?
“you give yourself away” was something I was trying to say anyway, so i thought, why not steal some U2 lyrics for it.
Bob - Bob, it’s either going to sound like switchfoot (dare you to move-ish) or Social Distortion. One of the two and I haven’t decided yet. :) I’ve been through three different styles with this song already.
I may also change the last line of the chorus to “And it’s blinding me” or something like that. not entirely happy with the way it’s worded right now. Too trite.
