It's been a hard three years for everyone.
The pandemic lockdown years and the post-Covid-19 economy have taken their toll on peoples' psyche. It's an uphill struggle to find a sense of normalcy.
And now a regional war with global consequences and the threat of nuclear attacks hit us even harder. We are living in a new world order. The old one emanating from WWII is over.
We are already picking tribal affiliations, so why not sever the map into economic blocks too. How do young people see any future in this clusterfuck cloud.
Song Background:
I am an issues guy. My songs reflect who I am. But some days you just want to fade into the ether and not deal with the world. That's the attitude that put me on the path to this song.
I just let it float into my feelings without adding the over-analyzing. I needed the break.
Shout Out:
This song is for anyone who feels that some days the world is teetering on the edge of insanity.
Chords:
Verse: D - Am - Cmaj7 - Cadd9 - Em - Cadd9 Chorus: Fmaj7 - C - B (notes on A string) Capo: 1st fret
Lyrics:
I can't see the sky Can't watch the stars Nothing catches my eye Am I dead inside? Or is the world not a place to hide? I can't hear the song Can't feel the wind Nothing stays in my soul Am I dead inside? Or is the world not a place to hide? I can't taste the rain Can't smell the pine Nothing feeds my mind Am I dead inside? Or is the world not a place to hide? I can't see the sky
