Array ( [sid] => 109802 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Float [time] => 2005-11-15 18:38:51 [hometext] => This is just me writing and not stopping until there is nothing left to write... [bodytext] => All these people speaking their minds
Not knowing their going away
Speaking words like trees in a breeze
Staying in one spot, but their branches sway

Feeling like perfection is the only road
Like you can’t say what you want
Or else your mind collapses
And the ghosts of your past haunt

So give one more chance to footprints
Walk the path of distortion
Smile more often than not because
Your soul and heart are out of proportion

Chorus
Everybody’s got something to hide
Everybody’s got something in mind
Looking all around someone just cried
Sometimes all you need to do is unwind
Bring it around one more time
When life gives you a lemon ask for a lime
Hanging around just in case
Hoping they don’t steal your face

All these people getting away
Finding out what life can be
Get some good and some bad
Why have one when you can get three

Mind is beginning to turn over
Not really knowing how to throw
Fuzz starting to form on the face
The deal of the new is beginning to show

Its fine when you don’t know how
Former minds say something smart
The grass grows and never stops
Just waiting for our souls to part

Chorus

Float and fly just like an angel
Stay inside my mind and run
Stay with my hands for awhile
Just stay and float until it’s done
Just float until it’s over

An interesting piece.
Some of these concepts were highly insightful and provide many interpretations.
I enjoy these options, specifically designed by the author, which allow for the piece to diverge into many paths and situations.
The second stanza appears to represent restrictions..."Like you can’t say what you want".
I really adored the third stanza.
Very thought provoking.
The chorus is basically the story of my life.
I find alot of correlation here...I can relate to these feelings.
"Mind is beginning to turn over"
A beautiful compilation of both haunting and inspiring thoughts and concepts.

I like it, sometimes you just need to say things in the simplest way possible. I like your bluntness!
