Song 147 poem Intro (minimal piano + ambient pad, intimate) You asked me what I thought and felt ⸻ Verse 1 You asked me what I thought and felt I spilled it out to you All my hopes and fears My point of view You were silent- Took issue with what I had to say Then walked away Disappeared You leffftt ⸻ Verse 2 (light percussion enters) You asked I shared You disagreed You rejected me Turned your back on me Disappeared Disappeared ⸻ Pre-Chorus (lift begins, steady pulse underneath) What ever happened to being there For family For friends For me For me In good times In Tough times Conversing Transversing philosophy Even if we don’t resonate Or reverberate Despite opposing points of view ⸻ Chorus (strong sustained notes, simple and clear) How did diversity Suddenly disappear And now the only way Is one point of view We can agree To disagree But don’t turn away Don’t run away Don’t disappear ⸻ Verse 3 (pull back slightly, intimate again) I want to know What you see I want to know what you believe What you perceive It’s ok if it’s not the same as me We all have different capassiteess It’s…be ingg realllll ⸻ Bridge (drums drop, atmospheric tension, spoken rhythm builds) We seem To Live In AA Throw Away Society AA Throw Away Society Cut off, block out, reject, remove - remove the opposing view There is power in the voice Speaking truth by choice Traversing this life We can agree to disagree Please don’t see me as your enemy Sharing views and thoughts May change me May change you If you cut me off Refuse to speak Push in silence Retreat I’m siloed Don’t wanna be If you cut me off Refuse to speak Push in silence Retreat You are siloed Do you want to be siloed? How did diversity Suddenly disappear Become the enemy Creating enmity ⸻ Final Chorus (full instrumentation, biggest emotional lift) And now the only way You see Is one point of view We can agree To disagree But don’t turn away Don’t turn away Don’t disappear We can agree To disagree ⸻ Outro (instrumentation falls away, layered harmonies) Don’t become siloed Silenced Homogenous Divided Disappeared Don’t disappear Don’t disappear I won’t disappear (soft final sustained note on “disappear”)
