Are you riding the current to where it's taking you, or are you making your own waves of change against the grain? I dedicate this song to my grandma who passed away last week, hoping I can follow her footsteps in the sand in the way she lived her life.
Enjoy - This was a fun song to make.. One of the latest collaborations with the UK musicians Gecko Infinite and SebastianMRM.
Lyrics:
And when the tide comes, I'm gonna take my stand
Keep my place in the sand and dig against the grain, yeah (dig against the grain!)
In the horizon, I can make out land
So if you take my hand, we'll dig against the grain (yeah, we'll dig against the grain!)
These are the days you don't wanna go back home
Just hold the off button on the front of my cracked phone
I wish I sat alone, unknown to roaming passersby
Just staring past the sunset, and when it's done that
I'll walk to the front step and watch the city pass me by
21 years here and life is still a strange thing
You build then you maintain, fall then do the same thing
Riding on the same train, similar scenery,
just a lane change or two once in a blue moon,
waiting for my blue mood to sooth and move through
As if it were a virus caught from this wireless,
face down in our phone attitude we've adapted to
low aptitude for compassion clashing with any genuine
friends you've been for friends' sake (can't stand fakes)
Even handshakes made lucidly ain't worth what they used to be
But I refuse to concede, fight against the tide and stay true to me
And when the tide comes, I'm gonna take my stand
Keep my place in the sand and dig against the grain, yeah (dig against the grain!)
In the horizon, I can make out land
So if you take my hand, we'll dig against the grain (yeah, we'll dig against the grain!)
We're all in this struggle together, for the better
false storms and we were warned of the weather
Sunny days are ahead, no money lays with the dead
Life is meant to be spent well, can't sell
Time, It's fast money.. gamble the roulette hourglass
Sand falls one by the ton as you let the hours pass
No ocean current ever stays the same,
floating on a feather with the waves of change against the grain
Facing the pain with titanic confidence
Feeling an Invincible, physical calming since
this life isn't so bad after all.. digging around through common sense,
i've finally found what helps separate the mind and perpetuate the time that we intersect with the divine
And that's love.. To save both those and ourselves
Trudged through the darkest of caves
With Plato himself, and I won't budge when the tide comes
And when the tide comes, I'm gonna take my stand
Keep my place in the sand and dig against the grain, yeah (dig against the grain!)
In the horizon, I can make out land
So if you take my hand, we'll dig against the grain (yeah, we'll dig against the grain!)
So we're searching for soul mates, soul searching when I rotate
my view in this pretentious world, and renew my attention
on a different girl, a pearl cuz sure
Reality doesn't change, perspectives evolve
Like turning to see the other side of the reflective ball
Crystal clear, it doesn't take detectives to solve
that weak explanation, predestination's for
those who believe they're placed in this situation,
but stand by this tide, ply a grain of sand from it's ride,
and it's plain as to why we've arrived..
it's derived from the grips of logic
If there's footsteps in the sand, then where's the prints in the projects?
the beauty of all this is godsent,
but we rinse it with garbage, cuz it brought us solace
but can't find the causes of problems or solve 'em
If you want answers, meet me on the shore tonight
We're moved by a source of light in cycles
Peaceful, but still forced to fight the tidal
Time in life is vital, so much left to explore yet
our feet haven't even touched the greeting doorstep
I'm looking out across at the sea's warped depth,
it seems infinite, but I know there's an end that's imminent
Or maybe it's just a beginning that's different
And when the tide comes, I'm gonna take my stand
Keep my place in the sand and dig against the grain, yeah (dig against the grain!)
In the horizon, I can make out land
So if you take my hand, we'll dig against the grain (yeah, we'll dig against the grain!)
