Story Behind the Song
After a lifetime of insisting, Tim wrote a song for our first CD. After another lifetime of putting off writing music for it, I found that I had written the music for the lyrics more than 2 years before the whole project started. The match was so good it was freaky! The intro was initially a second movement for Abandoname Vida, which started as a short instrumental called Crimsoniano. But you know how things are...
As Jesús and I work now towards a second Vértigo CD, another project in English is shaping up with lyrics mainly by Tim.
Lyrics
Spiraling
Falling helplessly,yet blissfully
in the depths of her mind,
she contemplates what might have been
and starts to unwind.
Grasping at visions and make-believe dreams,
the cold-hearted child in her
comes apart at the seams.
Never will she see,
the love she would have had ...
Never will she know,
the life she could have had ...
Never will she feel,
the joy she should have had ...
If ever she could shake,
the pain that makes her sad.
Slipping on illusions
like ice in her mind,
she loses her grasp
and leaves thought behind.
Spiraling inward and outward again,
her time seems so pointless,
wonders "Will it soon end?"
Never will she see,
the love she would have had ...
Never will she know,
the life she could have had ...
Never will she feel,
the joy she should have had ...
If ever she could shake,
the pain that makes her sad.
Falling and grasping
at no one and nothing,
Slipping and spiraling,
She hopes someone will sing...
someone will sing ...
