I'm super proud of the lyrics of this one. Written in segments over the years and complied in this piece of music, this song cuts to the core of existence, remarking about the choices available between light and dark.
Lyrics below:
Walking my way,
Influences inveigle my mind
Do I face the light on the stage
Or let the darkness finagle my time
I hear what you say
But your falsehood pervades
The brighter the light
The darker the shade
Let’s travel back in space,
to the time of first ignition.
sitting in the position of pure, blissful sounds… freedom abounds
until the darkness sets in.
Archetypes sit, lit, in the alcoves of society,
like statues of sobriety showing us,
not but broken glass, dissonance, clash, ideas stash and chafe
it’s not safe.
Growing up with the sharks I got thrown to the wolves
only to find, inside, a wild child,
and any foe beguiled into a friend.
Those who lived in bitterness, suffered the end.
You must die to be reborn,
loose it all to be adorned a new set of plumes.
Each spring she blooms,
the leaves open up and the flowers resume their place,
and take up space
Walking my way,
Influences inveigle my mind
Do I face the light on the stage
Or let the darkness finagle my time
I hear what you say
But your falsehood pervades
For the brighter the light
My instinct is strong,
and my foresight is long,
but tension gives way to apprehension each day.
Potential is exponential,
and I know that someone who’s got my back,
doesn’t lie to my face
It’s all smoke and mirrors when you give into your fears,
or your hopes, either way you’re still repelling from ropes
on steep slopes.
Pray for angel’s grace, with this classical bass,
I face, and win the race
It’s a dope prize,
to realize the pattern in the potion.
Keep your notions in check or skills derelict.
With introspection and the reflections of your friends,
you take the next right step.
So here I am in this time and in this place,
integrating all that can’t be erased.
I found my wings in a dark place, and now I embrace
the luminescence on my face.
Walking my way,
Influences inveigle my mind
Do I face the light on the stage
Or let the darkness finagle my time
I hear what you say
But your falsehood pervades
For the brighter the light
The Darker the Shade
