Mellow Out (original song)

in dsound •  7 years ago  (edited)


A song about confusion in times of war. I wrote this after the terror attacks in September, 2001. One of my more upbeat songs actually.

I was just learning how to do harmony vocals on my recorder when I recorded this, so I was kind of just playing around, experimenting.

Lyrics

Who is good? Who is bad?
Who's the angel in disguise?
Who will lead me the right way?
'Cause I'm confused.

Beg for peace or fight a war?
Which is worth dying for?
Who can give me the answers?
I need to know.

What's right? What's wrong?
What's a sin anway?
Who can tell me what's evil?
'Cause I can't tell.

Do I go East? Do I go West?
Which way is best for escaping?
Who can tell me where to go?
'Cause I don't know.

Maybe I'll go downtown
and mellow out for awhile.
I just want some peace and comfort.
That's what I need.

Throw my arms into the air
and spin around
and round and round
Ditch these demons on my back
and run away.

What's right? What's wrong?
What's a sin anyway?
Who can tell me what's evil?
'Cause I can't tell.

Do I go East? Do I go West?
Which way is best for escaping?
Who can tell me where to go?
'Cause I don't know

I don't know
I don't know

Like the choir ar the end. I like the way it rhymes like reading the lyrics you would find some words out of it but then listening all flows smooth, we don't know a thing, humans I mean, clueless we are.

Plotting, plotting ...
