The Catch (1067) Donna 13-06-26
[Intro] [distorted electric guitar power chords, driving drums] (Ah, ah, ah, ah) [Verse 1] [palm-muted electric guitar, bass, steady kick drum] I used to live in dreams A land of imagination hidden in my mind A womb for ideas, words flung on sheets Notes fingered on keys (and strummed too) A self- indulgent pleasure that remained that way [Chorus] [full band, open power chords, crash cymbals] Never made progress Never gained success Musically, although my friends did There were glimmers of light For me momentarily But the time wasn't right To reach such heights yet But in retrospect who knows But I have no regrets The dream was forming [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar returns, bass syncopation] The story was growing then Then was maybe too soon Ideas in the bank and not in the womb I traveled over hills Crossed rivers, paths, and fields With voices in my head No one heard the words that were said Except me, I went deep down out of sight Dim it seemed, but really bright to me I found a me no one else could see And in a parallel universe All became good for me For me, but I knew it could and would eventually [Chorus] [full band, high-energy] But the light was small And the tunnel was long The place I created A realm of metaphor with direction Where I was alone but not hated Which was my intention [Bridge] [half-time feel, sustained guitar chords] I was driven by desire Was lit the way in inner fire I demanded nothing but had that something That made life worth living for I liked aims and dreams [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar with wah-wah effect] But was still a chaser [Outro] [building intensity, layered vocals] Gonna be unobtainable Gonna be in assessable In the thought was essence So I kept below the radar To prevent going too far From my comfort zone I felt more comfortable alone Put the pieces together to form a better story With no tales of hope and glory So where am I in this day and age? Decades have passed and at what stage? Have I erased or am I heading to the point of realization? That no one realized I was I I didn't need to chase, just drive into what was judged What was destined to be found
