Story Behind The Song

Written as a protest song but also a love song

Song Description

The song is about needing to question authority and ourselves in order gain a deep understanding to what is truth and why it is there. In this song I look at a negative side of what reality is like and how I see it but also in chorus I try and show a possitive which is to see the important aspects of life.

Lyrics

Making us all pace ourselves, with this patriotic crap,
Haling all these lives around, with blood upon their backs,
Morals seem to be for sale, someone?s lost the plot,
Carefully just think again, your pride will kill us all,

As my friends mean even more to me that air,
I?ll try treasuring them every time that they are there,

Consumerisms not a friend, it drained our wisdom dry,
Making us all feel this fad, while those who made it die,
When will humans make amends, our conscience as our guide,
Our inner self our universe, not this war of sides,

As we settle down and talk about our souls,
These are passing lives and moment?s time has shown,

Isn?t it a trip?
As my eyes look round and pick up all the light,
As I realise life and what we are,
Picture perfect, a world of open stars,
