The best of intentions won’t matter if you don’t let someone know them. Reliving memories, there were so many situations I could have made better or just more enjoyable if I would talk to friends and tell them what I feel or see.
Life is hard when my Default mode is set to ‘Silent”.

This comes from learning lessons one by one and a little too slow. Once you realize the correct thing to do it is already too late. Then we think we finally have it down only to see that we were just as naive as before.
This wasn’t my last song, I have a few more, but still don’t know where I went wrong.

This song dances around the question about a dog chasing a car. The chase can be fun but what happens when you finally catch the car? Nothing good.
You can ask three wishes from the genie, but each one can turn out to be a nightmare if you don’t take another look at what you are asking for.

You don’t see it while everyone else does.
Keep dodging us with reasons like ‘because’.
I don’t know any other way to say it
Whatever their game, you shouldn’t play it.
What made you decide to get together?
Why did you think it would last forever?
Poems and games but nothing they say is real
Not much friends can do if that’s the way you feel.
I never thought you could get So Deep.
Hard to believe you’re still into this creep.
It looks like I have to concede
Eye candy all you really need.
There is no charm in rarely listening.
At times the silence can be frightening.
Nothing of value ever comes your way.
One way or another, it’s your turn to pay.
I never thought you could get So Deep.
Hard to believe you’re still into this creep.
It looks like I have to concede
Eye candy all you really need.
You don’t see it while everyone else does.
Keep dodging us with reasons like ‘because’.
I don’t know any other way to say it
Whatever their game, you shouldn’t play it.
I never thought you could get So Deep.
Hard to believe you’re still into this creep.

In the past I have read lyrics from older songs that often romantically compare human strength with animal traits, or nature’s beauty. WE don’t do that anymore. Most people have never seen a fox or a cheetah. Those comparisons will fade with time. The animals will soon be gone forever.
Then we will be like humans; a plague.

Looking at retirement and the final stages of my active life. What can I get into now that I am literally being paid to do nothing?
Hobbies? Volunteer? Travel?

It’s like The Give And Take of breathing:
We need to do it all of the time.
You don’t have to look for hidden meanings:
Not every poem ends in a rhyme.
Some like coffee, but I prefer tea;
A glass of cool, clean water.
Want a drink, they have Coke or Pepsi.
That’s something I can’t give my daughter.
It’s The Give And Take of everything
That puts the pendulum to swing.
The Give And Take of everything
As each winter turns into spring.
The sun beats down on us all day long;
The moon enjoys hiding from its light.
Sometimes we want to join in on the song;
But screaming all at once isn’t right.
The way I hold you, how you hold me.
Give you all I have, you are all I need.
Never take advantage, help each other be free.
Creating our garden, planting new seed.

Covid pandemic and the holidays in mind here. The verses are about most people dealing with the challenges they faced. The chorus is from a fictitious wealthy person’s point of view: who cares as long as it’s not me?
If the rest of the world weren’t so stupid and lazy they would be doing fine too.
