Sing me a song

You know how we all have a song that we love, one that speaks to us since the first moment we’ve heard it? How we wished the right person would sing that right song to us? Yeah, I know, girly and cheesy somehow, but true of us all.

Well, sometimes, you hear the right song, the right person sings it, and he sounds incredible singing it, and the lyrics describe exactly how you feel and how you wished he felt… But the catch is he’s really not singing it to you or for you or about you.

So when that happens, first you feel the pain, and then, if you’re lucky enough, you move to the next level: you find a song that speaks of your soul and hope that one day, someone would come along. Someone that might even be tone deaf, but who would understand and mean every word of it…

Mission Im(possible): Lyrics for a song

The strange feeling I experienced the first time I looked into Michael’s eyes has kept haunting me. I’m always in control of my body. Even when I’m passed wasted drunk, I still know exactly what I am doing. It’s harder, true, but I’m the one calling the shots. Feeling I can’t move, can’t speak, feeling someone else taking over my body, my mind just couldn’t really cope with it and kept trying to find an answer.

Thanks to Joanna Young‘s challenge, the Mission Im(possible) Group Writing Project, I found a way to exorcise my “daemon”. I wrote the lyrics for a song called “Mesmerized”. I imagine it to be a rock song. Something like the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, or something like Tea Party. Maybe even Evanescence. But definitely a rock song with oriental influences. So here goes, hope you love it.

P.S. My maker, as in the writer of the novel, has never written song lyrics either :)

Mesmerized

He has frozen your body, feel the trap in his eyes
You are under a spell, you have been mesmerized
Don’t bother to fight it, they are useless, your tries
Cold shivers take over to keep you paralyzed

You cry and you scream and you punch and you fight
But the grip that he’s got’s getting ever so tight
You can’t breathe, you can’t think, there’s no word of delight
And the grip that he’s got’s getting ever so tight

Yet you can’t help but notice the promise of a smile
Let go of your worries, it will all be just fine
And you know he is willing to reach the end of the trial
Throw Nature’s tide over, share a glimpse of divine

You cry and you scream and you punch and you fight
But the grip that he’s got’s getting ever so tight
You can’t breathe, you can’t think, there’s no word of delight
And the grip that he’s got’s getting ever so tight

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before

As I was watching the sunset and the bloody, beautiful skies over the Otopeni airport, I felt sad and excited at the same time. Sad for the day that was soon to be over, knowing that I’d miss the warm light. Excited about the night unfolding in front of me. Listening to Raemonn’s “Beautiful Sky” and feeling the melancholy sink in. Open your open mind! I need to, in order to accept everything that I am discovering. No more innocent times. Knowing the mystery, being part of it, turning it into day-to-day reality, that means leaving all innocence behind. I wonder what else about the world I should know. Not that I know that much to start with.

And as I finally say goodbye to the day, other lyrics flood my mind…

Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses
Abandon their defenses Read more…
