I was wondering if you could give my song a view too?

// 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: https://youtu.be/wgzqDKnpTak

thanks in advance..

A song exploring into the lone journey, the grit of being a traveler facing the complexities of solitude. Navigating the challenges in connections, striking emotional tides. I thought that I wanted everything that I had to offer: the creativity.
Here it is. Here we go.

Lyrics:

𝕄𝔸𝕐𝔹𝔼 ℕ𝕆𝕋

Saw your future in advance 
You took a pose and shot a frame
Drop that picture in the sand
I might get back or sail away

Every fire has spoken
Every made-up broken wall

Here's your future in your face
You become water, fire and breath
Here's your future in the sand
Another you another place

Everyday is stuck and
Everyday is stuck and you roam

Every fire has spoken
Every made-up broken wall

Everyday is stuck and
Everyday is stuck and you roam

drunk to much the night before

Drunk To Much The Night Before

Big picture wise, it’s a hip hop beat with spaghetti western elements. So hence, the trip hop tag cos’ Soundcloud likes to judge genres based on beats. 
I used a minMaj7 chord for the first time in preparation for my Bond theme I will be attempting next year. Daunting, I know. Over the MinMa77 chord I used gypsy minor or double harmonic minor or whatever you wanna call it. Then, mixolydian over the Dom 7. After the spaghetti western intro, I do a borrowed chord on the 4th degree in the second verse. Then again, for the bridge. For the key change I used a diminished portal. If you make a Dom 7 chord a half step below any of the  notes of a diminished 7 chord it shares 3 common notes so it gives you 4 possible keys to go to. I picked the one with 1b cos it’s close to Am. Then another borrowed chord on the 4th degree of the scale. A lot of superimposition going on with the keys/strings. 
Production wise, the usual time it takes to produce a song is 12 hours. I went over that by 1 hour cos’ I had to learn how to play a bit of harmonica and bend with it. I didn’t know that you had to blow and suck. That’s what she said. I think the best parts of the string arrangements are the 2nd verse and the bridge where I just stopped trying to be Ennio Morricone and did…me. 
Mix wise, this is what Cassius would sound like had I let the pro mixers have their way. I think it’s cool/light/hipster. Not as warm as my demo mix. So maybe in the future I will put my foot down and go back to ‘just mix it like my demo.’ But, I think 75% of my vision was reached so that makes me satisfied. 
Lyrically, what we’re going for is dependent on how you’re feeling right now. So, if you’re unhappy you can imagine that we’re singing it to you. Especially the line ‘Need your pain to dissipate.’ And if you’re happy, then you imagine you’re singing it to someone else. 


I put my 6 string in it. Buried deep inside the sins of the foreign lands    (I guess I could be referring to 八国联军here）
And when I get down to it I’m gonna love you in all the ways that I can          
Back up for ya cry, need a place to sort out your life
Need your pain to dissipate, need the rain to sit and wait
I got this back porch shotgun sitting wisdom tooth (I set my brain on random and I like the contrast between a somewhat redneck shotgun scene and caviar)
On the rain soaked caviar of mortal loving dues 

Chorus:
Backing:Do you do you wanna try
Staring deep inside my eyes
And you’re never the pauper and you’re never the slave (I actually thought pauper meant beggar until after I recorded the song and looked it up)
And you’ve broken out of your rusty cage. (Soundgarden reference)
When the dust is gone and settled
Will ya be the one
To make the queen of angels sigh (Doors reference. I think what I’m going for is the opposite of you’re so vain. Because the person ought to say, “I’m not an angel. Nor am I the queen of angels.” And, that’s why it’s you. And if it’s a kid asking themselves the question. “Can I kick it? Will I be the one?” You know the answer. “Yes you can.”)

Verse 2

Back up, if you’ve only got the rain on your mind
Shut up, before you lose the innocence of life 
I’m only in it for the beauty, in it for the game, I do it for the simple beauty to keep my life sane     (“oh. And that’s why do we it. But mostly the money”. But when I sing that line I believe. “You think Ronnie Van Want would rather play free gigs instead of getting paid. “Mama told me to forget my lust for the rich man’s gold. But she also taught me not to be an idiot.”)
It’s overdone. (When the) silence is overcome. 
I got the spells son. Do you have it? I got the spells son. Do you have it? (Just me being amusing)
In your place son. Do you have it? Take my rage son. Do you have it?

Hell.  going up in flames
Until you say my name 
I’ve been looking, forward to those voices, that make me change 

Why. Must the blue skies fall
Need to hear your name 
Before the water douses us again.

Sigh

I used to stumble, lost and low
Chasing dreams, but letting go
Reaching high, then falling down
Caught in a spin, always bound

But today I'm fire, can you see?
Strong and proud, the best of me
I'm bold, I'm bright, breaking free
Today's my day, just wait and see

Hiding silent, scared to speak
Fading fast, feeling weak
Kept my thoughts locked inside
But now I'm done, no more to hide

'Cause today I'm fire, can you see?
Strong and proud, the best of me
I'm bold, I'm bright, breaking free
Today's my day, just wait and see

The past is gone, I'm moving on
Standing tall, my fears are gone
No more doubts, I'm in control
This fire in me is burning whole

I've been down, I've been low, but now I'm on the rise
Kicking down doors, I'm done with the lies
Took the pain, made it fuel, watch me ignite
No more shadows, I'm stepping to the light
Every scar, every tear, made me who I am
Now I'm unstoppable, that's the new jam

Now I stand, no longer small
Found my voice, I've heard the call
Rising up, I won't retreat
With every step, I feel the heat
The world's my stage, I'm shining bright
No more fears, I'm taking flight

Yeah, today I'm fire, can you see?
Strong and proud, the best of me
I'm bold, I'm bright, breaking free
Today's my day, just wait and see

Today's my day, can't hold me down
No more fear, I've found my crown

Today I'm Fire
