I wrote this song after having a string of dreams in which I kept visiting Detroit. More specifically I am referencing one dream in particular in which I cried as I was beholden to the most beautiful dreamcitiscapes I have ever laid astral eyes upon.
This song is meant to be a climax of sorts... It is my attempt to paint with sound a scape that cannot be replicated... a true driving home of the love I feel for this place so much so that i frequent it in dreams on the rare occasion i have a sound sleep.
lyrics
and excuse me if this seems out of line
but i've been dreaming of you all of the time
in the twilight upon shaken scapes and bridges
I see the fog in their seams
as behind you glimmer
through the tears I weep
just for you
just for you my sweet
its only you
only you I think of when I fall to sleep
just for you
I long for you my sweet
its only you
I think of when I crawl between the sheets
oh please oh please
oh please give me
your haunt and cacophony
oh please oh please
bathe me in that chaotic sound
pumping like a motor all around around
let it resound now
my love for you it knows no bounds (it knows no bounds)
and Ive never felt like this before
never felt like this before...
just for you
just for you my sweet
in the middle of the night
its for you I weep
its only you
its only you my sweet
only you
only you I think of when I fall to sleep.
