lyrics & music video

[987baz]

here's the lyrics to a song I wrote a while ago now and here's a link to the music video i made for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9yrv_0

The Song is called "Machines of me" and was written as a dialogue between my many "i"'s, although I didi not realise at that until I wanted to make a music video for it and started analysing it with regard to what I was learning at the time I wrote it.

The Machines of me

Do I disappoint you with my life?
It seems I’m just a hopeless as you
Could this be the reason you despise all that I am?
But, are we not the shadows of the truth?

Draw the poison out of me, and hang the snake around my naked feet.
Subjugate me from my knees, and liberate me from this fallen dream.
The machines of me.

Is there something silent in my eyes?
Can you see the devil in these words?
What’s hidden in the circles of my mind?
Why is all this darkness everywhere?

Draw the poison out of me, and hang the snake around my naked feet.
Subjugate me from my knees, and liberate me from this fallen dream.
The machines of me.

What I don’t know will set me free.

Draw the poison out of me, and hang the snake around my naked feet.
Subjugate me from my knees, and liberate me from this fallen dream.
The machines of me.

Nice work, I liked the video, wish I could hear better to have enjoyed the lyrics more.

I'm curious what the symbol on the beach is?

It struck me as kind of odd, but also familiar.

Thanks 987baz. Very creative, music and video alike. I too really like the banjo.

Shot in your locale?

Looks like a slightly modified Enneagram.

indeed it is an enneagram, unfortunately we didn't have a big enough crane to get the camera high enough for a better perspective
