Struggling songwriter trying to make ends meet

Dragged Down By The Riptide

I'm an American but I've lived in Australia for nearly 50 years.  That didn't save me from being shocked and upset by what happened in the 2016 election.  And now it's happened again again.  This song is a message to the USA.  I thought I'd broken up with her, but then this.

Verse
So far away and a long time ago
I was sure I'd left you behind
Life had moved on in that way that you know
Life is moving on on all the time
I wasn't prepared for the changes that struck
On that sunny November day
I'd known you were hurting and down on your luck
But I still thought you'd be ok.

Chorus
I think I've lost you again
As you drift ever further away
I'm shocked by the depth of the pain
I felt on that November day 

Verse
I thought I'd finally moved on
The past was simply the past
The life I had then was all gone
But today life is moving so fast
I felt certain that I was quite free
You were hardly a part of my life
But the news was so shocking to me
It cut with the heat of a knife

Chorus
I guess I've lost you again
As you drift ever further away
I'm shocked by the depth of the pain
I felt on that November day. 

Bridge
That early November no one could foresee it
I watched as you stumbled and couldn't believe it
You gave all you had for something much stranger
You must have known something but ignored the danger

Verse
I always knew you had madness inside
But somehow you kept it in check
So it pains me to say that I cried and I cried
As I watched you lose all self respect
I fear for the people who live with you still
How can they know what to do
If it's this hard for me I just can't conceive
What they must be going through

Chorus
Now that I've lost you again
And you drift ever further away
I'm shocked by the depth of the pain
I felt on that November day

November Day

Lyrics:

Hey boy
I see your feeling kind of crazy
I know you got primal feelings boy
Lately I've been feeling hungrier, than usual

You realize
It's in your DNA to lust for me
You're looking for someone to set you free
I'll be your boy and you'll be my man
Make you feel things you can't understand
Grab my hand and let's take the leap
Be my rider, my man tonight
Take a trip down a windy road
Then we turn it up, turn it up, BLOW YOUR MIND

Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND

Intuition
A powerful tool when you're on a mission
Trying to unlock Pandora's box
So we can release your inhibitions, get naughtier

You realize
It's in your DNA to lust for me
You're looking for someone to set you free
I'll be your boy and you'll be my man
Make you feel things you can't understand
Grab my hand and let's take the leap
Be my rider, my man tonight
Take a trip down a windy road
Then we turn it up, turn it up, BLOW YOUR MIND

Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND

Baby boy, baby boy, I want you hot
Baby boy, baby boy, take me or not
Be my man, be my man
Let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Baby boy, baby boy, I want you hot
Baby boy, baby boy, take me or not
Be my man, be my man
Let me BLOW YOUR MIND

Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND

Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND
Let it go just let me BLOW YOUR MIND

THE DARK SIDE OF THE SOUL

Bang Bang REGENESIS (Remaster)

disirene0

faithful gospel song. God will answer you on time 

THELORDWILLMEETYOUONTIME09155009373.mp3

The lyrics came from Divine to spread it all over the world to people who suffer mentally. I performed it with the energy given. This time in my mother language Finnish.

In english the lyrics mean:

Today I decided
to leave this world
cause nothing goes right in my life

To outside world I show
happy face
and tell lot of stories

But alone
the world falls over me
there is too much noice
and impurity inside

It eats me from inside
and it does not help
even I turned
to spiritual path

It just feels now
that it is time
to go home

But I slept over night
and decided that I stay

I will meet
the inside inpurity
and destroy it
so that I don't need
that shell to outside world
anymore

When you hear this song
with it I will give you 
the trust you need

Let dear friend
the life win
inside you

It will
destroy the evil
and this song
ends like this

Let dear friend
the life win
inside you

Let dear friend
the life win
inside you
it will
destroy the evil
