Are You For Real?
Liner Notes
#acoustic #guitar
I'd been thinking about writing a song for this week's #songsidekicksongcircle prompt = Sparse Lyrics. Then I watched a video by the School of Life called Why Are We So Easily Triggered?

And imagined one of those endless fights that couples fall into. I wondered if maybe it should be a round, but instead ended up adding a last verse where the singer gets that little glimmer of psychic distance that can sometimes be enough to get curious.
Lyrics
Are You For Real?
Part A
I don't like how you look through me
I don't like how you make me feel
I don't like how you look through me
Are you for real?
I don't like how you're talking to me
I don't like how you make me feel
I don't like how you talk to me
Are you for real?
I don't like how you ignore me
I don't like how you make me feel
I don't like how you ignore me
Are you for real?
Part B
You say you don't like how I look through you
And you don't like how I make you feel
You don't like how I look through you
Are you for real?
Now you don't like how I'm talking to you
You don't like how I make you feel
You don't like how I talk to you
Are you for real?
You don't like how I ignore you
You don't like how I make you feel
You say you don't like how I ignore you
Are you for real?
Part C
Cause I don't like how I get triggered
I don't like how you're overwhelmed
I don't like how we get flooded
Are you for real?

Thank you my friend for visiting one of mine and leaving kind words. I hope you're having a marvelous Summer. Hugs. :)
I also enjoyed the progression of the sparse lyrics, from one perspective to another and finally to what might be a glimpse of curiosity/hope at the end. That's a great ending.
