Story Behind The Song

Patrick (Alterstate drummer) wrote the music first, and the lyrics were written by Cliff (Alterstate keyboard player). It is about a guy whose 'Curiosity' inspires a sense of fearlessness for the unkown. This internal adventure is all but unseen to those around him: 'Some would say I'm just a simple man, no treasure buried here'. But inside his adventure, he feels completely empowered: 'Call me Dr. Isaac Newton for my Curiosity'.

Lyrics

SOME WOULD SAY I'M JUST A SIMPLE MAN, NO TREASURE BURIED HERE
I GUESS I LIVE MY FANTASY LIKE EVERYBODY
OOH, HERE I GO AGAIN, FACING UP TO THINGS I CANNOT SEE
FIND THE SECRETS I'VE BEEN HIDING IN MY - CURIOSITY... CURIOSITY

FIND ANOTHER DOOR, FIND ANOTHER KEY
FIND ANOTHER SIGN, FIND ME
SOMEHWERE IN MY SHADOW, SOMETHING'S CALLING ME
BREAKIN' DOWN THE WALL ? CURIOSITY

SO YOU SAY I'M JUST A SIMPLE MAN, SHAKIN' ON HIS TREE
BUT SOMETHING HIT ME, SPLIT ME, SHAKE ME, WAKE ME, CLEAR A PATH COS
OOH, THERE'S A HURRICANE THAT'S BLOWING, GOING, SNATCH ME, SET ME FREE
AND CALL ME DR. ISAAC NEWTON FOR MY ? CURIOSITY... CURIOSITY

FIND ANOTHER DOOR, FIND ANOTHER KEY
FIND ANOTHER SIGN, FIND ME
SOMEWHERE IN MY SHADOW, SOMETHING'S CALLING ME
CROSS ANOTHER LINE ? CURIOSITY


COME THE DAY I MAY DISAPPEAR INTO THE ATMOSPHERE,
WHERE I'M GOING, WHERE I'VE GONE, I GUESS THEY'LL SPECULATE BUT
OOH I'LL BE RACING, CHASING, EMBRACING EVERY GALAXY, RIDING HIGH UPON MY CURIOSITY

FIND ANOTHER DOOR, FIND ANOTHER KEY
FIND ANOTHER SIGN, FIND ME
SOMEWHERE IN MY SHADOW, SO MUCH MORE TO SEE,
FIND THE OTHER SIDE - CURIOSITY
