Durandal (Celtic melodic metal)

Hurricane

A Little Goes A Long Way

The Part Where You Break My Heart

An experiment to create intelligent Bro-Country lyrics about a dinosaur hunt specific to fossils found in Oklahoma.

Lyrics: 
(Intro instrumental)

(Verse 1)
Got my boots in the dirt, 
and my heart on the road,
In my trusty old pickup, 
where the ancient creek flowed.

King of the Lizard Eaters
Saur-o-phag-a-nax.
Dig a backwoods party
Got my shovel in the back

(Chorus)
Diggin’ it up, in the full moon-light
Cut-off jeans skirtin' truck headlights
Red dirt, shovels, picks, radio on
Work sweat, red neck, drinks, and stones
Doin’ it good and feeling so right
Diggin’ up bones
On an Oklahoma night

(Verse 2)
There's a dog in the back, 
We’re diggin’ with precision
Good-ol’ country boys
On a Bone-hunting mission

Barefoot dinosaurs 
walking in the creek,
Tan legs, beer kegs, 
sneakin’ us a peek

(Chorus)
Diggin’ it up, in the full moon-light
Cut-off jeans skirtin' truck headlights
Red dirt, shovels, picks, radio on
Work sweat, red neck, drinks, and stones
Doin’ it good and feeling so right
Diggin’ up bones
On an Oklahoma night

(Bridge)
Girl, your favorite dinosaurs
Are tall, long, and slender.
That's perfect for you, babe, 
Cuz your heart’s so tender.
I’m a different kinda breed,
And though it may sound corny,
All my favorite dinosaurs
Are big, strong, and horny.

(Chorus)
Diggin’ it up, in the full moon-light
Cut-off jeans skirtin' truck headlights
Red dirt, shovels, picks, radio on
Work sweat, red neck, drinks, and stones
Doin’ it good and feeling so right
Diggin’ up bones
On an Oklahoma night

(Verse 3)
Red dirt and old bones
Our dreams right in reach
Livin’ out loud, girl
On this prehistoric beach

Your hand brushin’ mine, 
Girl, I really like us.
We're diggin’ up bones, 
Die-no-nigh-kuss

(Verse 4)
Dawn breaks, tail gates
Kickin’ up dust
Stone bed, tire treads
A-pat-uh-saur-us

Bones dino-saur-ric past
Watchin’ our rear view
Ancient stones, diggin’ holes, 
Girl, my love for you.

(Chorus)
Diggin’ it up, in the full moon-light
Cut-off jeans skirtin' truck headlights
Red dirt, shovels, picks, radio on
Work sweat, red neck, drinks, and stones
Doin’ it good and feeling so right
Diggin’ up bones
On an Oklahoma night

Doin’ it good and feeling so right
Diggin’ up bones
On an Oklahoma night

Diggin' It Up (The Oklahoma Dinosaur Song)

A ska-themed love letter to the shopping malls of the 1990s.
Lyrics:
[Upbeat Intro]

[Verse 1]
She’s the arcade queen
She puts on quite a show
Playing Mortal Kombat
It’s a Fay-tal-uh-tea blow. (FATALITY)

Wish I had x-ray vision
Everytime she walks by. 
She's my impossible mission.
That girl is so fly.

[Chorus]
Bubblegum pop and her hair in a curl
Everytime she smiles
Makes my heart tilt-a-whirl
Beneath my punk flannel style.
I’m totally into her groove
Tripping all over my feet
How, like, totally smooth… (smooth move, dude)

[Verse 2]
She’s the highest score
That’s a ten in my book
Then she rolls her eyes
And gives me that look
I know that it’s destined to be.
The mall’s our weekend kingdom
And she’s forever queen,
Even with my tiny income…

[Chorus]
Bubblegum pop and her hair in a curl,
Everytime she smiles
Makes my heart tilt-a-whirl.
Beneath my punk flannel style.
I’m totally into her groove
Sweeping her off her feet
I’m, like, totally smooth... (smooth move dude)

[Bridge]
Follow her to Spencer’s
Hangin’ out by Gadzooks
She’s got me readin’ poetry
Down at the Waldenbooks.
Orange Julius, she's takin’ my hand,
Go to Sam Goody’s for her favorite band.
Kaybee Toys, creepy Furbys.
Grab some earrings at Claire’s.
The mall is our paradise
These are our years.

Maybe we'll slip on a ring
From the diamond shop, DeBeers.
Victoria’s Secret, safe with me
She's my queen for eternity.

[Verse]
So long ago, it was a different scene.
Never want to give her up,
She's my arcade queen.
Though we came to the end of those years
I know that it was destined to be.
That was our weekend kingdom
And she’s still my queen.
Even with our bigger income.

[Chorus]
Bubblegum pop and her hair in a curl
Everytime she smiles
Makes my heart tilt-a-whirl.
Except, now I’ve got no style.
She’s totally into my groove.
She’s vaccuming – I lift up my feet.
She’s, like, totally smooth…


[Verse]
The mall was our weekend kingdom.
Pictures in our memory.
And my impossible mission…
We were meant to be…

[Outro]

Arcade Queen

A Möbius Strip is a one-sided shape. When a lonely soul needs an emotional connection, they can only feel one emotion, much like the single side of a Möbius Strip

Lyrics:
Verse 1: 
I’m a ghost in a crowd
Nobody really sees me
Uncaring faces mirror souls
Too busy to believe me.

Isolated from my voice
Yearning for what I’m needing
One-sided hunger from the pain
Can’t you see I’m bleeding?

Chorus:
Mobius Strip of Emotions.
A constant, desperate need. 
Continuous heavy heartache.
My soul needs love to feed.
In this one-sided dance,
Just give me one kind glance.
A Mobius Strip of emotions.

Verse 2:
I’m lost, but never found.
Empty but always needing more.
Echoes of sounding laughter –
Waves that never reach my shore.

Bridge:
A desperate cry for connection
It’s raw and painfully deep.
This cold void of hurt and neglect.
On a cliffside, icy and steep.
Please, just see me.
Please just whisper.
Everything inside of you is real.
Please just smile.
Please just reach out.
I need a hand that’s warm and real.

Chorus:
Mobius Strip of Emotions.
A constant, desperate need. 
Continuous heavy heartache.
My soul needs love to feed.
In this one-sided dance,
Just give me one kind glance.
A Mobius Strip of emotions.

Verse 3:
What if I see you
A single-sided ghost
Like me, lost in the fading view
With the wide, unseeing host?

Reach out my cold hand hoping
That I won’t be ignored
Your cold hand it brushes mine
And I feel a touch of warmth.

Chorus:
Mobius Strip of Emotions.
A constant, desperate need. 
Continuous heavy heartache.
My soul needs love to feed.
In this one-sided dance,
Just give me one kind glance.
A Mobius Strip of emotions.

Verse 4: 
Cut right through my soul
Make me twice as much
My one-sided emotions
Burst with just your touch.

Unending loop of love
Dimensionality expands 
Infinite source calls to us
Through heaven-sent romance

Chorus:
Mobius Strip of Emotions.
A constant, desperate need. 
Continuous heavy heartache.
Our souls need love to feed.
In this one-sided dance,
You gave me one kind glance.
A Mobius Strip of emotions.

This Mobius Strip of emotions –
Our souls forever dance.
A Mobius Strip of emotions…
