To demystify - After getting motivated by the HRC gig and the disussion about 'cover' songs versus original songs, I had a sudden rush of blood to the head yesterday evening. I wanted to write a song for 'Shoonyas'. Something rather dark, which would fit into being a metal/rock song. I wrote a poem in about an hour. The title of the song is from one of our fellow blogger's blog. She was also part of my inspirations but she is not the subject of the poem.
I want you guys to go through the poem and comment about what you thought of it and what you think is my inspiration. If you want clues, you can check out my recent marvelous posts and I'm sure there are hints scattered everywhere. The three people who I have already cross-checked the poem with were practically clueless until I explained it to them.
Okay, okay! But why should I be frustrated? Because I have not been able to write a melody for it yet. I have many ideas, but none seem to fit in with the mood. I'm still trying and I'm hoping to make a breakthrough fairly soon. Until then, you guys can try your luck!
'Freezing Flames'
As I look into her eyes, I see
The blaze that was bequeathed
The power that emanates, I feel
It is hard to even breathe
I reach forward, it feels so near
Is she the same, the one I loved?
I believe I can belie my fear
But In a moment of fury, she rises
She rises tall over all else
The savior of all that exists
Inside me, I feel so decrepit
Yet I feel so much at ease as
The darkness rages on engulfing even the brightest of stars
The flames of deceit, freeze even the warmest of hearts (but)
The beauty which lies within
Oh it is so transcendent
The fire that rages on within
Enlightens even the most decadent
I dig deep inside, and I ponder
Could it have been any different, or
Is it me? I think, as I floundered (staggered)
I can hardly see through the smoke
Are you holding back, father?
I remember, the lead was too thin
I'm sure, couldn't have reached any farther
I can't, even I don't know why and when
She rises tall over all else
The savior of all that exists
Allow me, I feel so decrepit
I feel I can help you to peace as
The darkness rages on engulfing even the brightest of stars
The flames of deceit, freeze even the warmest of hearts (but)
The beauty which lies within
Oh it is so transcendent
The fire that rages on within
Enlightens even the most decadent
