Ok, it's flawed in many ways, but then again the song is about being flawed so that's kind of appropriate. Plus this is only version 1.0; I'll re-record large chunks of it when circumstances permit (better mics, better recording space, a real piano, real drums, etc.). Here it is, flaws and all.
This is kind of my first "real" song, the first time I realized I could deliberately put meaning into lyrics and say something that mattered to me. I wrote it in the late fall of 2001, driving from Athens to Durham on I-85 at night. (I remember wondering, in the days after 9/11, how anyone could write music or create any kind of art after having witnessed all that deliberate mass destruction. I guess this was my answer.)
It's about inadequacy, falling short of one's goals and even shorter of one's dreams; falling short of (or out of) grace. It's about gender dysphoria. It's about depression. It's about my dead friends (one of whom was merely ill at the time).
Lyrics
- Please remind me what it was I was put on this planet for
- ‘Cause every step I take I find a new hole in the floor
- And everywhere I look I find another open door
- To somewhere not meant for me
- That’s not where I’m spozed to be
Where do you want to be?
- I want to be with you!
What is it that you see?
- I see myself outside the light
- That shines on all the beautiful girls
- Who fly.....
- All the beautiful girls
- Can fly away.
- That dream is dead, it’s time to put it in the ground
- And that one’s suffering, I ought to put it down
- It screams so loud it’s sure to bring the neighbors ‘round
- With all the help that they think I need
- Confusion is guaranteed
What do you need to see?
- I want to know what’s real
Where do you need to be?
- I need to be inside the light
- That shines from all the beautiful girls
- Who fly....
- All the beautiful girls
- Can fly away.
- Then maybe I’d be with you
- Just think of all the things we could do
- All the beautiful girls
- Can fly....
- All the beautiful girls
- Can fly away.
