Once Upon A Time...

I wrote Blue Eyes Green Jacket after seeing a stranger on a bus. I was walking in the rain, and as the bus drove passed I noticed him. The bus was busy and his breath on the window had formed a picture frame around his face. He looked so sad and I noticed his blue eyes….and green jacket. It made me think about who he was and what his life was like.


Lyrics (Copyright Mia Wilks - PRS)

I saw you today, sat on the bus
Blue eyes green jacket, no fuss 
You grabbed my attention simply because
You were looking straight through us
No smile, no emotion
But blue eyes like the ocean
Staring into your soul, I had the notion 
Something behind your eyes unspoken 

Blue eyes, green jacket
A moment in life, a connection 
Just a boy, sat on the bus
But I saw your pain as you passed us
Blue eyes, green jacket
Etched on my mind forever
As I saw you beneath my umbrella 

The bus drove slow, travelling somewhere to go 
Your face framed by the breath on the window
With rain beating down like the world had stopped 
A second so vibrant gone in an instant 
But he had blue eyes like the ocean 
No smile no emotion 
Staring into your soul I had the notion
Something behind your eyes unspoken 

Blue eyes, green jacket 
A moment in life, a connection 
Just a boy, sat on the bus
But I saw your pain as you passed us
Blue eyes, green jacket
Etched on my mind forever
As I saw you beneath my umbrella 

Blue eyes green jacket 
Blue eyes green jacket 

Blue eyes, green jacket 
A moment in life, a connection 
Just a boy, sat on the bus
But I saw your pain as you passed us
Blue eyes, green jacket
Etched on my mind forever
As I saw you beneath my umbrella

Blue Eyes Green Jacket

A past lover keeps showing up in my dreams and reminding me of my failures.
From my new LP " Low Profile". My best tracks from 2023. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I get my melancholy straight from the IV drip
A Xanax, a red eyed flight on the sky ship
That's when you appeared
I'd been gorging myself on 
Televised violence
It's like synconized swimming
You were grinning while the plane was rapidly descending
(You smiled all the way down)
The atmosphere was colorless
Odorless
Void of all surface and all texture
I'm reveling in my psychosis
You reminded me I never finished my
Junkyard magnum opus
You still show up in my dreams

We were entering into 
An impressionist painted landscape
With a language that we just didn't understand
You reminded me that I'm a big believer
In blindly believing
And I need to start drinking in
A little bit more in what I'm seeing
We're like suburban dadaist
Coming in, out of the rain
My mind was racing
Like those 808 beats
There all the same
Well, that's the way the Goddamn wheel rolls
You headed off into the night
You never told me to change the angle of the light
You still show up in my dreams

"You never even had it even when you had it your hands,"
You've got to bring it right down
To where the sideways ends in the light
I'm digging down deep
I'm digging down slow
I'm striking oil 
Or the fires down below
You still show up in my dreams

You Still Show Up In My Dreams

Mountain meadow.

A track I re-recorded about 5 months ago. Like a lot of my acoustic songs, I've been sitting on this for a few years. Heartache is a shitty game. Time to let this one see some light. All music, lyrics and production done by me and me alone. I hope you feel it...enjoy.



Well I've been tossing and turning and thinking of you
But nothing seem to get the pain out of my chest from you
And from morning 'til night I'm along for the fight
And I try to pull you from my brain but I just can't seem to
And the lessons I've learned from the times I've got burned
Could never add up to me understanding what you would do
And I felt to blind inside I did not deny you
And I let you in then you tore my insides in two

Let me down again
Let me down again

And I wake up everyday and all that I think 
Is that we had everything working in our favor lately
But maybe I was blind and I could not see your pain
And I thought everything was perfect and meant to be
Then you ran away and you didn't say goodbye
You just left me to cry and just sit all alone without you
And the pain runs so deep its still coursing inside
But I find myself passing time with you on my fucking mind
On my mind on my mind

Let me down again
Let me down again

Let Me Down

Original track by Matthew Oldboy Stoddard AKA Social Deception. All music, vocals, lyrics, guitars, and samples by Matthew Oldboy Stoddard. 
Social Deception is a solo musical project that I started way back around 2007 and continues to this day. This is one of my older tunes from 2012 where I had a more industrial influence. My sound has changed and evolved for better or worse over the years, but this is definitely one of my favorites from my older discography. Cheers! (The spoken sample is taken from The Animatrix "The Second Renaissance part 2" 2002)

290 Ultra shiz Reviz II Turbo Edition' (ft. Stochastos Tahbahboh and Kallisti)

This is another of those having fun songs where we used what we had on hand and invited friends in. The lyric, which is personal to me, speaks to how I have chosen to live my life. That's right! I said chosen, and I firmly believe that we all have a choice that guides our viewpoints and beliefs. As is our way, we have also  built in a few grins and giggles along the way. We had a fun day recording this tune, and our goal for it is that you will have some listening and cutting a rug if the spirit moves. Thanks for stopping by!
Lyrics:
Livin’ In A Minute 
1.	When I get these earlies outta my eyes, Get some blood rushin’ in my veins
When I get me a couple of cups down, Throw out yesterday’s remains
When I get myself together, And see what the day ordains
When I clear the fog and pet my dog, Cut my losses and count my gains.
Chorus: 	Then I’ll be livin’ in a minute, Going all in
		Not way up yonder, Not where I’ve been.
2.	When I get a good day going,  Get my outlook looking bright
When I get on beyond some problem, To where it can work out right
When I keep my mind in focus, And let love be my light
When the whistle blows, time to go, Smile and say good night.
 
Chorus:  (same as above)
Bridge:	I’ll keep my sights where I plant my feet
		Not lookin’ back down or up the street
		Won’t be getting behind or ahead of me
That’s not where I want to be.
3.	When I sit down on my sofa, Fits my backside to a tee
Let my imagination, Beat the hell outta my TV
When I pick up a good book, Let some music set me free
When it’s time for bed, turn off my head, Let my dreams carry me.
Chorus:  (same as above)
Tag:	Then I’ll be livin’ in a minute / going all in
	No not way up yonder / Sho’ not where I been.
