When Does The Fun Start?

from Always Flying Blind by Somnistatic

about

This was the 3rd song I wrote for this project. There are a lot of influences seeping into this track. It's basically about feeling like all my "progress" in life is really just a treadmill. Lots of steps, but no moving forward. I often feel like giving up everything that makes me, me. I don't give up, for whatever reason. It's really a mystery to me. People that seem to be unfamiliar with the drive to create often say something like: "Oh, it must be so much fun to play guitar" or "He just got into music for the chicks"... or something like that. But, the reality for me is, I have to do it. I don't feel like I'm alive unless I'm working on music. It's perceived to be fun, and it is, sometimes, but, it's almost like an OCD level drive to pick up the guitar for me. Sometimes I loathe that about myself. I sometimes catch myself wishing that I could be "normal" and just live a human life. But, that seems alien to me. I just can't wrap my brain around it. So, I try to find meaning in my stars, I examine what I'm afraid of and I'm wondering when the fun will start...

lyrics

Taking a final bow, I took it far too far
I'm slipping
I'm tired of finding out how many drops it takes
To fill this ocean

When is it time to get away
What do the stars pretend to say
What does your fear demand of you
When does the fun start

Treading the same old path, did I really have to ask
I'm slipping
I'm tired of making wishes and thinking life is fair
A flawed notion

When is it time to get away
What do the stars pretend to say
What does your fear demand of you
When does the fun start

Standing still counting miles
Counting pieces as they fall
Stepping stones and letters unsent
Regretting smiles never shown

When is it time to get away
What do the stars pretend to say
What does your fear demand of you
When does the fun start
When does the fun start
When does the fun start
