An ethereal intro leads into a driving rock song about a confused relationship trying to get back on an even keel | MP3.com CD: Looking Ahead - buy it!
CD: Looking Ahead
Label: Camedary Records
Credits: Written by Glenn Shepherd |
Story Behind the Song
This is one of the older songs on Looking Ahead, written around 1993/94. It's hard to say after such a long time exactly what the lyrics are about, but the song is essentially about being in a relationship which has problems and how you feel that you know and understand your love more than she realises, whilst she keeps her feelings hidden but is in turmoil inside. This is an interesting example of Glenn's earlier song writing, regarding which he says, "I just can't write lyrics like that anymore!"
Lyrics
CHORUS
I see the sadness in your eyes, the changing faces of your world that keep on calling me
The tears of hurt, the angry cries are never known to anyone although they're there to see
The teardrop on your cheek is like a window to your soul
You wipe the tears away but you no longer have control
1ST VERSE
I just can't explain what on earth is going on
The mist of hate is gaining fast and there seems nowhere left to run
I just can't work out where this thing is coming from
No place of refuge for a heart that doesn't know what can be done
Will it be here forever, silent and never fading?
Won't you stop all your crying, never stop trying to win
2ND VERSE
Momentary truth can't compare to what is real
And it is no good trying to lie when it's so clear just how you feel
Masquerading doubts never spare a victim's heart
You call for help but no-one comes and that's the price paid from the start
It's still here to remind you that you were lied to by youth
Can you feel your heart burning, still clearly yearning for me?
CHORUS
MIDDLE 8
I still hear the tired voice that called out long ago
Simple thoughts discarded turn headlong into a dream
3RD VERSE
Answers to your prayers hidden on another side
Are only found when eyes are true and our hands have been untied
Don't be fooled again, hold on tight to what is here
'Cause there are traps laid all around, so when you see one stay well clear
There's an endless illusion filled with confusion and fear
It is hoping to need you, turn and mislead you away
CHORUS
