Here is a song that I had to vent out. Its about my desire to have my dreams. I arranged the verse and chorus in two different manners to see if I can throw people off by its meaning. the verses explain how I set myself up while the chorus tries to explain where I am at. Most people view a storm as a bad tiding... I don't... I view it in this song more like the intensity that I am creating... the storm behind me to push me... I use this as sort of a way of explaining my passions and desires as they start to create a driving force that is almost uncontrollable... Ever get that way? where your drive reaches a boiling point to where it almost becomes an obsession and no matter how hard you try to imagine failing, to prepare for the worst, you just can't see it anymore. Like it starts out being you pushing then all of a sudden wake up to find it just cut loose and instead of you motivating the desire just starts pushing you right into what you wanted?... The last time I ever got this way was back in college where I wanted to graduate with honors so badly... With everyone in my class falling off like flies it was kind of scary in a way. By the end of my core classes I couldn't even allow myself to cut a corner anywhere. I mean I even made an effort once to just say screw my lab test... take the unperfect balanced book... it is just a penny off. I went to bed and woke up unable to leave it alone until I found out where that penny was... Needless to say I made it through college with everything I desired... and now that familiar feeling is back again... this time I want an old dream of being a welder (obviously I got it.), a horse ranch to spend my days (already have a plan set), and a tight family (*smile* must I go into detail.)... each all within view... something tells me no matter the outcome, how I get it, or even how it ends up, I will end up with all this... *smile* its my destiny... *smile* this world didn't promise me a bed of roses... but damnit I got a handful of seeds and I can still make one! *grin*
RIDING THE STORM LINE
I wake up in the morning getting ready to run
Got visions and memories of my young son
If you say I'm turning distant its I left it behind
I'm marching full force chasing down these signs
Hey yea!
If you want to know me then take look in my soul
Its full of battle scares but at least now its whole
Don't need no promise the memories had an end
Now I'm on the run and gambling with the wind
(cc1)
if your looking for me
look for the dust and lightening
where its all calm and quiet
and you will see me passing by
cuz I'm
Riding the storm line
Yea
Riding the storm line
Cuz I'm
Riding the storm line
Fire at my heels
And a horse running for life
Cuz I'm
Riding the storm line
Yea
Riding the storm line
Cuz I'm
Riding the Storm line
I can't say that I truly have anymore regret
Reconciled and paid everything in debt
Put my weapons down and gave my heart away
Call it blind courage but I call it desperately brave
Hell yea!
(repeat cc1)
(solo)
(bass and drum only)
I know this path can change with a mere change of direction
But I can't imagine it my dreams are all in motion
I want it so badly I can taste the pressure upon my lips
Like a pencil under the bed I can just touch it with my fingertips
Just a little bit longer and I can have it all now it's so over due
Outside the storm line you know that all it takes is all inside of you
"hey!"
riding the storm
"hey!"
riding the storm line
"hey"
riding the storm
"hey"
riding the storm line
"hey"
hey hey ah!
(music resume)
cuz I'm
Riding the storm line
Yea
Riding the storm line
Cuz I'm
Riding the storm line
Fire at my heels
And a horse running for life
Cuz I'm
Riding the storm line
Yea
Riding the storm line
Cuz I'm
Riding the Storm line
(repeat cc1)
