TRAIL OF LIES

TRAIL OF LIES

A Poem by Basu Gupta

I was in the dark n shouting loud
when I hear your voice in a casual crowd
with a tongue of black
which truth just lack
with the floor just shook n' followed a crack..

I just tried to make my foot on way
All I need's some strength I dare to say
to bear such a dreadful night
to quench my thirst with a "SHINING DAY"

Shining day
yes I dare to say
I want a shining day
Can't I live my way..


I then watched you in the narrow street
With your head on his lap on a brownish seat
I just fell from the highest height
With anger being poured down through eyes..

Then I smashed my pitiable unrequited face
Coz, I didn't do wrong in our SHARED  case

Now I just hate of being an optimistic fool
who crushed his dreams for a lady so cruel
Though she stole my heart with her glaring eyes
Still i don't want a trail of lies

I can live my life as a lonely one
With days like nights in-spite of sun
A body devoid of heart n' soul
But i can surely learn to crawl...

yes i can learn to crawl
yes i can learn to crawl

Yes i'll crawl
even i'll fall
With betrayed soul
still i'll crawl..
Yes i'll crawl
even i'll fall
With betrayed soul
still i'll crawl..

Hi Basu! I came back to let you know that I checked on your song (Trail of Lies). Just as I imagined the beat is kind of heavy (there’s angst, sort of edgy) that went well with the message of this poem. You played well the guitar but the strumming was, I think, too loud and I could not really understand the lyrics. I truly like the rock beat but I noticed that the beat is sort of monotonous. From an ordinary listener like me, I would truly want to hear variations of melodies.

I listened also to your other song (Loser in Front of pride). Again, you played well the guitar. The rendition is quite unique. It is as if you’re having conversation with your listeners. If the purpose of the song is for the listener to focus on the message then you already achieve that purpose. Personally, I would prefer that after 30 seconds of speaking, the tune or beat would escalate just like in “Secret” by One Republic. But you are the artist in here, you do what you think is best for your craft. I could see that you have the potentials and maybe you are now even a member of a rock band. Keep improving your craft!

Yeah you are right..
thanks for the support
I'll let you know once my editing completes
"Now I just hate of being an optimistic fool
who crushed his dreams for a lady so cruel
Though she stole my heart with her glaring eyes
Still i don't want a trail of lies"---

It’s agonizing to realize that the person whom one bestowed his heart and soul had been all along leading him on. Discovery of one’s trail of lies may be painful but it’s a blessing in disguise to know it early on. i hope i could listen to the song as of now i could be imagine a heavy notes accompanying this piece.

Shining day
yes I dare to say
I want a shining day
Can't I live my way..


and yes you can crawl, a shattered soul doesnt mean we are totally down, it means we are stronger than we think. Nice one here
