Wonderland

Wonderland

A Chapter by Shawn Purcell
"

*Written with Laura Bielskie...A really trippy song. I was going through a psychic phase at the time. The lyrics are fun.

"

Hey man are you there?

I’m lost inside this wonderland.

I can’t tell what’s real

And my fingers beg for feel.

 

But I’ve seen the sea talk

While I walked on his face

Said, "Anywhere's the way

You just have to be brave."

 

 

She said, “I've decided the whole thing is love, I’m serious.

There’s this someone I want him and I need him.”

But I take a look at you now, and I see your dreams fading

You try to sleep but your fears keep you awake

 

“I need to see a psychic to see how my future's changed

I read my tarot cards but threw the guide away.

And you're gonna write a song about all the wild things I say

Then play it back for me to show me how crazy I really am.”      

 

Chorus

 

So what's with your heart?

“Either he took it or I lost it while it was hiding -

I think he loves me, and If I believe it it has to be true

But can he be the bridge and the water too?

 

I know you think you can so read me like a book.

I see it, but I don’t believe it’s true.

My only course of action is to take no action,

The only way forward is to cycle around backward.

following the previous chapter ..here I'm again reading the preceding work

this line captivated me : "She said, “I've decided the whole thing is love, I’m serious.

There’s this someone I want him and I need him.” - Its intense and alluring ... keeps u gripped on the content .....

Moving to the next part : " And you're gonna write a song about all the wild things I say

Then play it back for me to show me how crazy I really am.” - this moved me to a totally different land with varying thoughts ..... but then the Chorus brought me back to the place where it all began once again .....
