It's Out of Sight and It's Coming

Skirmish: Whoever Said Out of Sight... (@cbmagic)
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

“Out of sight out of mind” just like when the algorithm starts your zong off at page 2

Lyrics

Hey baby, where’s your object permanence
Turn around and you leave your friends
Alone, in the dark but it’s bright if you can’t see

It’s out of sight
But not out of my mind
It’s out of sight
And it’s coming

I was a supporter of crippling boredom
Before I noticed your stare, sensed “something’s wrong”
Don’t know what, but I know it’s at the tip of my tongue

It’s out of sight
But not out of my mind
It’s out of sight
And it’s coming

Don’t think, cause you might, dare, believe your own thoughts
If you think you can put your hands by your side
When the officer tells you to turn right around

It’s out of sight
But not out of my mind
It’s out of sight
And it’s coming

I have to agree that the officer line took me by surprise too. I is and interesting read. I would like to hear how you would put this to music.

I like the way the listener is led into the story obliquely and this causes each line to reveal more and the listener has to reassess their interpretation.

On the tip of your tongue and the officer! Jip know those. Love the suspense the line creates ‘and it’s coming…’

Definitely relate to each of the 2-line statements of your chorus. And I like the way the officer line took me by surprise.
