(some more lyrics for the as yet unnamed band I'm writing for. This is a song of about eight and a half minutes and it's about a guy marooned on an island, feeling desperate because he was left by a woman. He can't leave the island until he has learnt - to cut a long story short - not to substitute lack of personality with relationships. Before the last six lines come in, there is a two minutes instrumental section so the break in setting and mood isn't actually that striking.)
A lightning in my eyes / A twitch inside my
hand
Sickening sensations / A sudden strip of sand
Tangled up in tang / My life is washed ashore
These are not the riverbanks / That I was
steering for
Stripped of all my sanity / Struggling to stand
Breathing and marooned / On godforsaken land
Salt in my saliva / I stumble to the trees
The heavens keep on shaking / (Shake) me down
upon my knees
In this dreamless, hopeless night
A graceful spectral light
Can you hold me now I’m wrecked?
Can you help me to connect?
I must know why she was taken
(And) I need answers to awaken
The will to breathe once more
Give me someone to adore
Following the sirens / Groping in the silence
Tiptoeing through fire and / Screaming
As I keep on falling / I hear echoes calling
Me to give it all a / Meaning
Spirit, guide me deep into / the chasms of my
soul
Help me, heal me and / Spirit, make me whole
Spirit, with your guidance / I stumble to my
past
A distant silhouette / Spirit, her at last –
The contours of my once beloved / Motionless
and carved in stone
I fall down at the sacred socket / Dejected and
alone
Gazing up and hoping for / A repentant and
benign
Look upon her past / I see her face is mine
Sunshine in my nostrils / Seagulls – above
ground
I open up my eyes / And hear the rushing sound
Of the waves that carry / my lonely raft back
home
Of the winds that blow / that guide me through
the foam
I’ve cast away dependence / And broken all the
spells
I have become much more / Than just somebody
else
