Verse 1
People come into our lives, then fade away like ripples in a pond
We spend time together, it feels so right, but circumstances change and they move on. 
I think about them occasionally, I wonder what they’re up to.
Sometimes I get the urge call them out of the blue.
Chorus
All those different paths that I could have taken
Now I’m lying in the bed of my own making
The clock keeps ticking every single day
I tell myself there’s got to be a better way
Verse 2
People who I haven’t spoken to in such a very long time
We drifted away and now I’m past my prime 
If I walked past them, and they saw my face, would there be any hint of recognition
Cause time has a way of transforming you like a magician

Bridge 
It feels like I’m doing time, I’m just towing the line
Trying to make it through another hard-working day
There’s so much water under that bridge, I’m dying to know what’s on the other side of that ridge, and deep down I know I’m in a prison of my own making

Verse 3
All those Dreams I never followed, I took the safe road
I turned my back on creativity and shifted into a working horse mode
I’m back in the saddle, trying to play the game
Speaking what’s on my mind
It’s a race no one asked me to enter and I’m feeling far behind

Chorus
All those different paths that I could have taken
Now I’m lying in the bed of my own making
The clock keeps ticking every single day
I tell myself there’s got to be a better way
Outro
They say that’s the way the cookie crumbles,
And life can be a series of stumbles 
And all you can do is dust yourself off and try keep right on going

Ripples In A Pond

Guitarist, multi-genre composer, keyboard & bass player (mostly self-taught). Music librarian and philosopher (I am retired now).
Music is new dimension of life.
“That is an artist as I love artists, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art - panem et Circen.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs.

Not Underground. Not Mainstream. Just Left Ground.

Left Ground Music stands outside the boundaries of genres and scenes.
We are neither part of the mainstream nor the underground—we exist in the “left ground”, a space where sound refuses to conform.

From electronica, dub, and ambient to post-rock textures, our releases carve out soundscapes that demand attention, not background listening.
Born in Japan, our music captures the collision of urban noise and natural silence, offering listeners a sonic experience that feels both familiar and alien.

This is music for those who walk the edges of reality.
This is Left Ground.

Currently living in Wodonga, VIC, Australia. Making extreme music and funny skits/sound collages since 2011.

Cheeky, sassy, kinky and playful songs exploring several styles and themes: grunge, bossa, pop..
I write the lyrics and poetry you can find here, unless mentionned otherwise. Sometimes, I compose music and play the piano. When I use AI for the music, I mention it in the tags.
I'm open for collabs with singers, poets, writers or composers looking for a lyricist.
