Blind Tourist Guide (Ongoing project)

Newcomer Corner

a friend of mine helped inspire a new branch in my exhibition that’s in tribute to Rock and a Sense of self,

at the moment I’m bouncing between working on this project and the one in the Zero Frequency Drama thread

I’m in Love with the contrast between the two endeavors :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Here is the first release as ‘Blind Tourist Guide’, with a song under the same name as the artist profile,

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
This land of fools
indulge in sacrifice
Let me guide your mind
while you are my eyes,
So we travel on
With children of the dawn,
Finding our feet
Breaking new ground

[Prechorus]
I feel it coming
You see it coming

[Chorus]
Blind
oh, Blind tourist
Tourist guide

Feeling the unseen
Through spirit and time,
A ghost in the machine
neither dead nor alive

Guide
Oh, Blind tourist guide

[Verse 2]
This land of fools
is blinded
by its own sight,
Turn off the light switch
Let your sense of self
Ignite,
In my dreams
The sun is still bright,
In the heart of me
is the seeker of delight

[Bridge]
Whispers in the dark
Sounding like truth,
Illuminated silence
washed in proof.
The noise settles
slowly inside,
Somehow we see
with more,
Than our eyes.

[Prechorus]
I feel it coming
You see it coming

[Chorus]
Blind
oh, Blind tourist
Tourist guide

Feeling the unseen
Through spirit and time,
A ghost in the machine
Neither dead nor alive

Guide
oh, Blind tourist guide

[Verse 3]

This land of fools
has a lack of soul,
But broken mirrors
still reflect the whole.
I’ll trace the path
that shadows hide,
A gentle friend
entangled,
With your mind

[Prechorus]
I feel it coming
You see it coming

[Chorus]
Blind
oh, Blind tourist
Tourist guide

Feeling the unseen
Through spirit and time,
A ghost in the machine
neither dead nor alive

Guide
oh, Blind tourist guide

Just released a track that I wrote most of the lyrics about 3 years ago.

Worked together a chorus and found the ‘ai’ delivery I was searching for in this past week :slight_smile:

I found this project moving on allot of levels :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Lyrics:

[intro - Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

We’ve had it tough

We’ve had it rough

My friend,

Grit beats raw talent

It turns out,

In the end

If we’ve learned anything at all

it’s to rise rise again,

Stand tall ye who be

The stuff of legend

[Chorus]

And we rise from the ashes

as we reignite the flame,

A beautiful madness

Keeping us sane,

The path to success

is paved with scars,

In tales of the artist

Dancing among the stars

[Verse 2]

We fly with the high

We flow with the low

How long will it last

We just don’t know,

Adjusting our selves

When the world’s out of control,

Challenge accepted!

it’s no gamble

For the artful soul

[Chorus]

And we rise from the ashes

as we reignite the flame,

A beautiful madness

Keeping us sane,

The path to success

is paved with scars,

In tales of the artist

Dancing among the stars

[Bridge - breakdown]

Tedious hours

and little to show,

Much has been done

that few will know,

In the pressures of the old

diamonds are being forged,

oh sweet irony

The masses value more

Artists retired, To the morgue

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]

And we rise from the ashes

as we reignite the flame,

A beautiful madness

Keeping us sane,

The path to success

is paved with scars,

In tales of the artist

Dancing among the stars

[Outro - soft]

This is not

a song of sorrow

Where a hero falls today

Others will rise tomorrow,

In the hearts of rebels

The future is sung,

Not about an ending

rather of what

has Just begun…

I am so happy with how this came out :sweat_smile:
Here’s to flushing the system and moving on!

Lyrics:

[intro]
"Is it not a miracle in itself
That we on some level can forgive
Even that which seems unforgivable,
And be the peace we seek
In the world”

“Right.”
“Let me break down how it’s done”

[Verse 1]
It’s four in the morning,
sky’s still black as tar
And I’m feeding my disappointment
in how you managed
to go that far
For months I’ve held this anger,
like a stone inside my gut
A toxic little treasure
in a cage I cannot shut
The solution
is both shallow and deep
I’ve got to clear these mental pipes
So I can get some sleep.

[Chorus]
So I’m choosing to forgive you,
Similar to how
I empty my bladder,
I relax and let go
Let go of the matter.
it might sound crude
it might disgust,
But in returning to peace
forgiveness is a must

[instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I’ll be making coffee
and your face just pops in view
And I’ll stand there by the counter,
muttering insults at you
It’s a low-grade fever
of the soul,
a pointless, psychic drain
A faulty bit of wiring
Messing with my brain
It doesn’t make me righteous,
it doesn’t make me strong
It just makes my breakfast
Taste all wrong

[Chorus]
So I’m choosing to forgive you,
Similar to how
I empty my bladder,
I relax and let go
Let go of the matter.
it might sound crude
it might disgust,
But in returning to peace
forgiveness is a must

[Bridge]
This isn’t about grace
or turning the other cheek
It’s emotional hygiene
for the weary and the weak
A practical decision,
like taking out the trash
Before the psychic odor
makes my whole system crash
I’m not doing it for you, friend,
Wherever you may be
I’m just tired of being at odds
with my own memory,
Like you’re a tenant there
Living rent free

[Outro]
Alright. There it is. It’s done.
The pressure’s gone.
The system’s flushed.
Feels… functional.
Now, where’s that coffee?
