About the Song:
First this was word for word a letter to an friend. A day later I sat down and
sang the words while I played, recording it all the while, and ended up with
something of a song. A few days later, there was this.
Yes, the vocals are buried. Yes, it has other production problems.
I still enjoy listening to it, especially the winding instrumental bit at the end.
Everything about this song is a duality.
The message of the lyrics, even line by line, has ambiguity.
I didn't realize that myself until some time had passed, but
that's probably what I like most about it.
Letting Go Of Me by Kevin Saturna
A letter sometimes says so much
Unspoken words could never be as such
Lands of summer's golden rush
Seem so near but forbidden is my eager touch
Once I said "a miracle" was love "untold its power!"
Yet I have soured
Flights of fancy do persist
as illusion calling "Face your destiny"
A fool and his thoughts are never parted
Even at the very end
The hour's drawing near
I can feel the icy shard clawing close now to my heart
A leaf drifts listless from the tree
Life is letting go of me
I give my last bow to the show
In syncronicity
My habits haven't been my sin
The self-destruction was programmed in
A code in ever layer that's created
An endless mental barrier
Another bird with broken wings
Fallen from its nest
It tried its best
It seems the point is missed
If it did indeed exist in any sense
Consider it is done when the sun has come and gone
And you're cold again
Evade it not in transit thought
The conclusion has to be
The end of me
A leaf drifts listless from the tree
Life is letting go of me
I give my last bow to the show
In syncronicity
