The Way It Moves
Basically, the song is about a person wanting something else out of life, to move somewhere, or to make a major change, but realizing what they wanted was here all along. The music hasn't been arranged yet, but I would like to follow the haiku styling I put forth in the lyrics, by having the song progress with 5/4, 7/4, 5/4 metre for each stanza. No necessarily every syllable needs to be on the beat, but wanted to focus on doing that...or thought of making one long bar of 17/4, but don't really know how to go about that. I'm thinking at some point within the song, it will move from a diminished or minor chord progression to a major one, to denote hope and well-being, as opposed to the uncertainty that is described at the beginning of the song. It will probably have a few different movements throughout, different musical pieces denoting different moods throughout the song.
Anyways, lyrics below.
I need one more change
Change that will make me complete
Dig deeper within
It belongs somewhere
One undeniable claim
Carries me under
Where will it take me?
The descent slowly begins
Let me out of here
Shadows surround me
Blocking a clear point of view
Look beyond for truth
Who belongs with me?
Only the sun and the moon
See my tragedy
I am alone here
But soon I will leave this place
I won’t forget you
What did I forget?
Something irreplaceable
In front of my eyes
Hither all along
I was blind but now I see
Faults and tragedy
When can I return?
And begin my ascension
To where I belong
Why this choice I make?
To something I cannot have
A failed prediction
Don’t follow my steps
Realize what it is worth
What really matters
