Story Behind the Song
Dating in the can be difficult and each time you meet a new person, you go through the same routine. This song was inspired dating over the past three years. It took many bad relationships over the years, but the song was build over about 2 months from some riffs I composed over 10 years ago.
Lyrics
Sorrow of Mystery - November 1999
Verse 1
Strangers pass and loneliness flows,
Each day my love for her grows,
She is someone I’ve never seen,
I live this Sorrow of Mystery,
Another first time, and introductions,
Conversation turns to reflection,
Is she for me and could she be?
These questions create this mystery,
Chorus
Strangers searching for each other
We make the silent screams
Love isn’t what it seems
Living the Sorrow of Mystery
Verse 2
We share our lives and personal hopes,
Exchanging stories of our personal growth,
Again reflecting if there’s a connection,
Innuendoes and to the perceptions
A failure of success and lovers lost,
The price of searching but at what cost,
We must all wait and see what fate brings
These games build the mystery
Repeat Chorus
Break
Ralph Waldo Emerson - From the Essay, Self Reliance
I shall endeavor to nourish my parents, to support my family, to be the chaste husband of one wife, -- but these relations I must fill after a new and unprecedented way. I appeal from your customs. I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should.
Chorus
Strangers searching for each other
We make the silent screams
Love isn’t what it seems
Living the Sorrow of Mystery
