would you listen?

"Chrysalis" is a poignant exploration of personal transformation and resilience. The song delves into the depths of life's labyrinth, where each turn reveals the reflections of a lost and weary soul struggling to find direction. Through vivid imagery and evocative language, it captures the essence of Pyrrhic victories and the slow, arduous journey towards self-discovery. The lyrics poignantly describe the passage of time, likening it to the blending of seasons and the relentless forward march of days that often feel like a Sisyphean dance. Grief and mourning are central themes, depicted as an ouroboros of emotional turmoil that ultimately leads to a cracked chrysalis, hinting at the potential for metamorphosis and rebirth.

As the song progresses, it evolves from a narrative of despair to one of hope and renewal. The pre-chorus and chorus sections emphasize the cyclical nature of struggle and growth, using powerful metaphors such as quicksand and stones to illustrate the challenging journey. The bridge marks a turning point, highlighting the emergence of strength and resilience from the depths of defeat. The outro leaves listeners with a sense of optimism, portraying each new dawn as a canvas of opportunity. "Chrysalis" ultimately conveys that starting over is not just a series of new beginnings but an eternal romance with the possibilities of life, framed within the ever-changing tapestry of human experience.

Verse 1:
She's always singin'
A sad song
She tells me nothin'
When I ask her what's wrong?
But she's no liar
And it don't take long
Before she's singin'
Another sad song
Baby's got a radio
And she keeps it on
Specially in the evening
And just before dawn
When the light's uncertain
And the shadows grown long
She's always singin'
A sad song

Chorus:
And I know it don't make no sense
Sometimes
That's just the way it is
Sign of the times?
But I promise you this
No lies
And all I can give
My life

Verse 2:
With the snow falling down
she says there's no good songs
About winter
Unless you like Christmas songs
And I don't
She said I think that's the
Saddest thing ever
I should write a song about
That but I won't
Drive to work in the morning
With the headlights on
Home in the rearview
It's just going going gone
How come songs about hometowns
Are always the saddest ones?
She always asks around midnight
And how come we sing along?


Verse 3:
She's always singing
A sad song
Every time I come around
She says baby it ain't you it's
Just the sound of thunder
Is such an awful lone some sound
And I feel like singin'
A sad song
with you right by my side
Cause a sad song
Ain't always a bad thing
And that's the way i feel tonight
