Opposing views of the same situation. What we might see as precious others see as ridiculous. Each of us blind to the cost of ignoring the obvious. Lessons learned by so many are forgotten to apathy. Shared knowledge replaced by broadcast propaganda.

I really love the twist in these lyrics. They have a push-pull effect as you go through each verse. It reminds me of the excitement and fear sharing the same space as you find yourself in a new relationship….. each new step scary and thrilling. Afraid to share too much or hold too tightly.

A look at the industrial machines all focused to make you feel better. Food, drugs, music, sports, gambling, and sex are just the start of the list. Does more money make this go away? If money doesn’t stop you from doing anything you want, what will?

These lyrics are a sister version of Deep Inside. Writing the song I think I had too much to say so I ended up writing two songs with similar themes and lyrics. Neither is what I had planned and I am not convinced it worked out for the best, but I like the lyrics for each. The meaning is too complicated to get into details. We all hold a lot deep inside. Life is a journey full of traps with no signs to tell you how to get out.

A spin off from an afternoon contemplating how many people get the basic premise of evolution wrong. I often hear descriptions as if the organism intends to branch off or enhance a trait or feature. Anyway, I wondered what was the first emotion and how quickly did the others develop. While I am at it, in what order? Did humans and other primates have dreams before experiencing emotions?

Climate change, criminal behavior, profit seeking leaches.

A cute association I made when it looked like I was finally going to get a divorce last year. This song blends ideas over a number of years as many of my lyrics tend to do. Screaming over nothing. Saying stuff she knows isn’t true. But the reflections of a love that got away was from a past relationship decades ago. What are your Eight Letters?
I love you
I am sorry

Pretty obvious theme here! Self-restraint has a long learning curve.
