Telescope – Lyrics<\/h3><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We’re trapped by time
\nEven if time cannot explain infinity
\nWe’ve lost our mind
\nIn this confusing one act play,
\nThat seems to play the jokes on me<\/p>\n

Looking through the Telescope
\nI see a younger me
\nI see an older you
\nLooking through the Telescope
\nGet a glimpse of what could be
\nIf we could twist reality,
\nReality<\/p>\n

The Ghosts in my bed
\nDisregarding all the laws of sanity
\nA road trip in your head
\nThrough some twisted German town, forbidden fantasy<\/p>\n

Looking through the Telescope
\nSimple choices you can make when you believe that you are free
\nLooking through the Telescope
\nYou could think you\u2019d live forever, if forever was
\nReality<\/p>\n

Alone and wiser
\nEverything will fade just like desire
\nBut words can inspire
\nThe burning of the throne that guards morality<\/p>\n

Looking through the Telescope
\nThere is clarity that fades and dirty thoughts that misbehave
\nLooking through the Telescope
\nThere is no middle ground, \u2018cause everything keeps going round
\nJust like\u2026 Reality<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

TELESCOPE<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Telescope is about time… the trickster, that plays the jokes on me.
\nIt’s about the pro’s and con’s of hitchhiking, It’s about Leonard Cohen, It’s about the lizard king, It’s about a lot of things, It’s also about things we don’t understand… or shouldn’t
\nThe idea of the telescope wasn’t mine originally. So thanks for the inspiration, you know who.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Music<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Let’s talk about the music rather.<\/p>\n

The idea for the song had been around for about a year. But I wasn’t happy with the structure or melody. It was… too folky.
\nSo I let it lie for a while and waited for the right input to drive the development.
\nIt came form that opening chord progression which led to a slower more melancholic melody and mood.
\nIt suited the subject matter better.<\/p>\n

I decided to keep the sound acoustic and pushed my acoustic guitar playing as far as it would go (with the help of Pro Tools).
\nYes, I played everything on this one. For better or for worse.<\/p>\n

I like this song.<\/p>\n
