Three chords in my hand

from The Misinformation Age by Richard Brown

/

about

A song I wrote in May 2020 about the rise and fall of confidence as a musician, my inability to understand social media/modern world in general and a few other related themes.

lyrics

I'll die with these
three chords in my hand
I've tried many times
but i don't understand

pushing yourself
out on the ledge
then pulling yourself
back from the edge


you sleep with your eyes wide shut
as I go to sleep and dream of a lie
you go to sleep with your eyes wide shut
and I'm dreaming of the time that I
fall back to you

my chords are all broken
twisted in doubt
i whispered my plans
when i meant to shout

we've been left behind
in races we've learned
a part of a plan
for the bridges we burned


you sleep with your eyes wide shut
as I go to sleep and dream of a lie
you go to sleep with your eyes wide shut
and I'm dreaming of the time that I
fall back to you

my chords are all broken
twisted in doubt
I made up my plans
and then began to shout

Trace your echo
back to its call
there's no one there
you stumble and fall
