| Very simply - songs about different aspects of how people live life. These are my philosophy songs, many of them. These are probably some of my favorites to write. Air Conditioning - Another one of my "harder rock style" songs...about how people nowadays prefer comfort to reality, and how it numbs us down. Big, Big World - A song about finding yourself in this world we live in. Blood-Red Sword - The first song in my official notebooks. It's actually more like a poem...but it's a good one, about bravery. Burning Paradise - The first song I wrote with Jackie from the Matchbox Twenty boards. Quite a deep song that just makes you go "wow!" Fake - Kind of a strange song that doesn't make complete sense, about being real and not...well, fake. Fastlane - Another one by Jackie and me. It's got the same feel as Burning Paradise, about living in the fastlane. Doesn't it kind of remind you of the Eagles? Feathers - I call it my ulimate acoustic, slow song about life in general. Four Chairs - A poem I wrote for school, about choosing between four chairs for where to sit. In otherwords, what to be in life. Greater Truth - To me, it recalls Jewel, but maybe that's cause I was listening to her before I wrote this. The song, again, doesn't all make sense. But it's about finding a deeper truth in life after something has been taken from you, as it was from me. How To Lose Your Sandbags - One of my experimental titles for my CD. I didn't use it, but liked it so much, I wrote a song on how to fly up high in life by dropping all the weights that keep you down. Jade - A song about the evil side of one's self. Kaleidescopes - How do you see things...through kaleidescopes? Little Toy Life - Yup, this life is just a little toy you can play with...but you gotta play with it right! Nothing To Fear - A song I wrote a longgg time ago. I wrote it while on a backpacking trip, staring into a fire while writing the end rap part, as it was getting dark and the fire was dying. By the time I finished, I couldn't the notebook I was writing upon, and my writing was off the lines. On Display - A song talking directly to the reader...have YOU ever felt like you're just a monkey, sitting on display, for all the people to watch and tease? Paint It All In Rainbows - I hate to say it, but my most country-ish song. However, I have music for it, and it's short and sweet. Live life to the fullest and the happiest! Pause Button - Again...every group has one that sucks. But you can read it anyway, if you want to. It's about being depressed. Perfect Life - This is about a girl who had everything, but didn't think she did. Quiet World - Sometimes this world is just too loud. Scream: silencio!!! Running In The Rain - Also in the friendship songs, this song is quite the theme to carefree happiness. Silhouettes - There is a light side and a dark side, and the dark side cannot be completely defeated. However, there is a way to win... The New Day Song - No matter what happens, the next day is a new one! The Prison Room - I wrote this staring at the blank white walls and blue floor of a room I was in...it felt like a prison, in a way. Think I'm Falling Down - An older song, about how everybody runs around and doesn't take the time to appreciate the things that need time to be able to appreciate. Underneath - Another written with Jackie, this one mainly by me though. About a girl exploring inside herself. Wave - I wrote this one about a young girl I saw running through a lake, very happy, in Colorado...and how within years she would be in relationships, growing up, becoming older...and how nobody would be able to help her through those times. Words Are Weights - This song is about lying, very simply. A Wave To The Sky - Basically, my "famous" song Wave, without the chorus. A bit more of a poem here. Choked By A Rainbow - An odd song, odd idea. Description of a girl's life, and it has something to do with religion. I still haven't figured it out yet, completely. Read! Ink Stains - This one is about, well, to be frank, date rape. Nice subject, ay? It works well. Seven Dreams - The influence for this one came from Shakespeare's famous "All The World's A Stage" speech in As You Like It. I enjoyed writing it. |
