about

-The character realizes that their identity, and their future is carried with them wherever they go. No matter what shore they find. No matter if they find shore.
-One of my personal favorites, Circle of Life was written in an attempt to describe what meditating for the first time felt like to me.
-Written in a single sitting, I wrote the final two lines first. Everything else came after.

lyrics

Mentally,
I shiver and shake with anticipation
But physically,
I sit here and wait
I guess, for a proclamation
To go out and
Seize life by the reins
But who knew, that
Just like the bucking bronco
It have to be tamed,
So that’s what they were saying all along
So if I am wrong,
I’m still gonna
Play the game
And roll the dice
Cause if I don’t
Take this chance
I may not get it twice
After all
Ain’t that just
The circle of Life?

So now to stop circling
I’ll tell you what we’re working with
This is what I see it’s worth
I’ve been besmirched by my very own mind,
But lost in the daily grind,
I spared no spare time
For my very own mind
And what I could be
Amazing
Now, can’t you see
This picture I am
Painting
How could I realize
When lofty dreams cloud my eyes
That even I didn’t believe in I
My drive was lost from apathy
Towards all of my projects,
My future and my path,
can’t you see
That this would
surely be the death of me
But wait, cause suddenly
I remembered
Who I am and who I could be
Who I ain’t and who I should be
I’ve got this I mumbled, half voicedly
The logic seemed quite simple, you see
If it all came from nothing
Then everything is in front of me
