Not to flex on my own songwriting, but this is another one of those songs that has a message that’s held up really well. Like, hello, yes, there are still really cool, strange, fascinating things in the world…but only if you’re actually willing to see them. Even if that’s accidentally.
Normally, this is the point where I’d dive into the story of what inspired the song and why it is the way it is, but I don’t want to do that this time. Mostly because it’s what makes this song so magical to me and I’d rather let you carry these lyrics with you and, hopefully, they’ll guide you to a similar (or even better) experience than I had before I wrote it.
Also, you may have noticed this isn’t a demo! This is a fully finished song that was for a completely different project, was out for a minute, and then pulled. But if y’all like it a lot, maybe I could be persuaded to put it back up on streaming sites 👀
Lyrics:
Chasing after neon dreams You and I have fallen in between the Blurred lines of reality and truth Who are we to say we can’t fly? And why is the hand quicker than the eye? In moments like this we find that Life is stranger than fiction No pills to make you larger No pills to make you small Our famed wonderland Right in front of us after all Chasing after faded dreams You and I had fallen in between the Fine lines of fantasy and proof Lift the veil and we’ll finally see How beautiful the world can be In a moment like that we’d find out Life is better than fiction Who are we to say we can’t fly? And why is the hand quicker than the eye? In moments like this we find that Life is stranger than fiction Chasing after all our dreams You and I have fallen in-between In a moment like that we’d find out Life is better than fiction
