Deep Dives And Sandy Beaches

Into Beethoven's Arpeggio I go,
Until I'm lost in it's wondrous melody and flow
Across the universe these lyrics fly to me,
A parallel of what happened to Mozart and his requiem for a dream
Just a kid sitting in Missouri dreaming of Californication
Not a difference from any other youth across the nation

Giving plenty of loving, but finding no love
It is either a curse from below or blessing from above
You went looking for the rush to escape who you are
You're chasing the deep dive, like a dog chases a car

Memories running through my brain like blood running in a vein
Setting out for a childhood adventure, breathing in the salt air
Not having a care, surveying the beach as my domain
I am the king with a shining crown and flowing hair

Waking back up into reality with a melancholy smile
My body covered in tattoos, marking the miles
Glancing around at my brothers in the living room
Making the great music that is our love and doom
A musician's fate can become quite tragic
No room to run out of lyric, lick, or magic

Will we get so close we can almost taste it
Or in the end will it be used up and wasted
Hope still flows into that broad blue sky
I will keep this smile on my face until the day I die.


Should I make this a full-fledged song or keep it in poem format? I would love to have some answers.

  1. I reckon, you could shorten the lines and make this a hard-hitting song!

    As of now, I love this! The phrases are excellent!

  2. I could see this as an acoustic or a very simple piano piece.
