Just A Question (Before Things Get Heavy) (Song 008)

This is a part of the 21 track story which was written (and recorded) between 1994 – 1998. Mask Of Reality – Reality In Dreamland was released in 2020.

Verse 1
I love my music
I don’t want to lose it
I don’t want to use it
I don’t want to abuse it
I just want to make it up
And play it how I choose it.

Verse 2
It was made to be played
Ugly though appealing
Similarities revealing
Looks can be deceiving
If you like the music
Then you’ll understand the meaning.

Chorus
I like writing words
As a form of expression
I like playng music
With a hint of aggression
My songs are on paper
My music’s on tape
I’d like it on CD
But is it the right shape?

Verse 3
It may be different
And the people might not like it
What will they think of it?
Will they understand it?
If it makes no money
Will I abandon it?

Verse 4
What should I call my songs
To give the right impression?
Will they get attention?
Or even get a mention?
If I like my music
Then need I ask such questions?

Chorus
I like writing words
As a form of expression
I like playing music
With a hint of aggression
My songs are on paper
My music’s on tape
I’d like it on CD
But is it the right shape?

Verse 5
Are my ideas the right ideas?
Is this shape a shapeless shape?
Is it gonna make or break?
Either way, how long will it take?
If it doesn’t go anywhere
What changes will I have to make?

Bridge
Just another question
Before things begin
Am I really sure
About the shape I’m in?
I may not be heavy
But I feel I’m too thin
I’d like to put on weight
If things start to begin.

Chorus
I like writing songs
As a form of expression
I like playing songs
With a hint of aggression
My songs are on paper
My music’s on tape
I’d like it on CD
But is it the right shape?
