This song is the final recognition and acceptance that things will never be peaceful and everything in life has now changed for the worse, in my opinion. It's my interpitation of what it's like to disconnect. The vocal and guitars are a meant to be a little bit off on purpose, since that is how life is at this moment, Out Of Tune!  I am for PEACE but there will never be PEACE on this warlike planet! The "John" in the song is "John Lennon", of course, and how he "Imagined" peace on earth would be back in the 60's and 70's. I think we let him down! I made a video for this song for YouTube - https://youtu.be/gY3gAfCcv2E
Watch it if you want or don't watch it, who cares?

“NOW I SEE”

SITTING HERE, GUITAR OUT OF TUNE,
WISHING I WAS ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON,
FAR, FAR AWAY FROM ALL THIS MISERY,  
TRYING TO ERASE MY MEMORY,             
      
HERE I LAY, TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP,
BUT CAN'T FORGET THOSE WHO SAY WE'RE IN TOO DEEP, 
WALLS KEEP CLOSING IN DAY AFTER DAY, 
IS THIS ALL THERE IS? AFTER ALL THIS WAY?

I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL IS POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THE SUN,
THAT WE CAN FINALLY ALL LIVE AS ONE,
HOW JOHN IMAGINED IT COULD BE, 
NOW I SEE, 
          
CLOSED MY EYES, WANT TO RELAX MY BRAIN,
MAYBE FIND A NICE DRY SPOT OUT OF THE RAIN,       
DOUBT AND FEAR WASHING OVER ME,
THOUGHT WE WERE ALL SPECIAL BUT NOW I SEE,           

I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL IS POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THE SUN,
THAT WE CAN FINALLY ALL LIVE AS ONE,
HOW JOHN IMAGINED IT COULD BE, 
NOW I SEE, 
NOW I SEE, 
NOW I SEE, 
NOW I SEE.
