I thought I should address something which is important to me in terms of how my lyrics are represented and taken.
As I decided to start this blog (apologies for the long delay since the last post, been rather busy) the idea was to simply post each piece individually on their own. Apart from the little 'signature' at the bottom, there would be no other text other than the lyrics themselves. There came a point where I began to second-guess that plan in fear of people 'not getting it' and thinking that I just sat down with a dictionary and randomly slapped together words I thought sounded cool. So, I took it upon myself to type up paragraphs stating exactly what the songs are about at the top of each entry. That was a stupid decision. Now, I'll explain the ideology behind my words and how I'd like them to be viewed for anyone interested.
Everything I write is derived from a certain subject matter. They are creative and artistic representations of personal thoughts, feelings and experiences. The real specifics are worthless to anyone but myself. It is from this that I decided to remove the descriptions of what each piece means and allow the reader/listener to draw their own conclusions and relate the words to their own thoughts, feelings and experiences.
In short, my lyrics mean something in particular to me, but they can mean anything, no matter how different, to you.
Thanks.
