Dragonfly

This may be the oldest song of mine that I still remember all the words to. I wrote it around the age of 15 or 16 which would have been about 1992ish. People are always asking why I have a Dragonfly tattooed on my left forearm and this is why.

Lyrics:

I am Dragonfly
To realize my sense of freedom I hide behind my eyes
The truth is just true till it lies
And I've relapsed a thousand times
to drink the sweetness from blue skies
And I ....

Spitting fire from the sky
Consumed in hate thats so misplaced
And I do not know why I can hurt you and hurt you
But I can't make you cry
There's got to be some rest for me
Can't I sit back and let this pass me by

I am Dragonfly

So low ... and yet I'm still so high
Yesterday, Tomorrow night
Nothing dulls my sight
This pain is waste that I partake in
But I won't die just for your sake
Still if i do don't be afraid
Just bury me out in the shade and fly
Be high

I am Dragonfly

wow, i love the meaning of this song..and the guitar is amazing man..!

[bishop437]

@bionicmarge Thanks Marge! I like that you like. I'm glad you can find meaning in it. Its so old to me I hardly know or understand what its all about anymore. Its something to do with wanting to be a strong fierce powerful Dragon while inside I feel no bigger than a Dragonfly.
