Starting Something With Andy

I am titan
The purpose of this song is to relay the feeling of inner strength that I feel after I have about killed myself on a run. Rarely when I run I experience a euphoric sensation. This usually occurs when the right song comes on Pandora. Several feelings occur here.
The first is I imagine a title wave of dark and wet energy pouring/rushing out of the sky behind me. It thunders toward me like a dam release and there is nothing I can do to stop it from washing me away. When the base of whatever song is playing hits for the first time I am overcome and swept up by the current. As hard as I have run to escape it before its hit is meaningless now. My mind goes blank and I become a machine running entirely on the strength of the wave. This wave dissipates over time and my mind comes back to me slowly. Always after accomplishing this feeling I feel powerful. Like I just ran head first into a battle I could not win.
The second feeling that occurs is that of ancestral recall. I reference the movie Amistad where I learned that African tribes would call upon their ancestors for strength in moments of dire need. Sometimes, when I run, and a newton/meter/second moment is occurring with music, I imagine that something is telling to me to go harder. Sometimes I repeat what it is telling me to do. Not to say that it is talking but more like supplying a feeling of relentless never-give-up ideas. They tell me that my legs are not hurting, that I am not out of breath, that I should run harder and smarter, they mock me when I stop. I see these feelings as my ancestors which I call upon by running. They existed to bring me to this moment and I am not to deny them their rights.
The idea has been bouncing in my head for a while, that the miles I spend running at night is giving me a sense of good, and power and steadfastness, and existentialism, as if I were one with something bigger than myself. I have begun to liken running to that of titan, the orbital body orbiting Saturn, I have no Idea why. Well I guess I kind of do…
Titan is part of our solar system engine whipping around Saturn. Its core spits streams of ice and gas so high that they can be picked up by satellite imaging. The idea of that is just striking to me. It is that titan is so small in the universe but contains so much energy. It contributes to Saturn’s orbit. It will rotate and turn and continue to spew from ice volcanoes after I am dead. It is a part of something greater but is just another cog in the wheel of our solar system. I imagine I stand on titan and watch as a new volcano forms, shakes the planet, and explodes like a piston propelling titan on its way. 
 I cannot understand any relationship between the two. Maybe this is the challenge with this song. The music production portion of the song is certainly going well.  
So anyway, the basic idea for this one is to have something that inspires me to run like those other songs do. 
As with all my songs I always try to put words to it. I need to get better equipment and learn to sing though… lol. There is a version of this song where I am singing the lyrics below to it. 
Move like titan
My trumpet 
Is peeling skin
I am titan
Once again

And on titan 
Where my pressures thin  
All my engines
Spit adrenaline

I raise my head up
To hear the turbines howl
I lift my head back   
And I open my mouth
   
So turn like titan through me
Turn like titan baby
She whispers softly
Roll like thunder on the ground

From way up high now  
Their turning in
My sweat and dust is
Their favorite scent

Im gunna
Im gunna Runa
Im gunna get it.


The big bad wolf is
My name again



Turbines  
I hear them screaming 
I lift my head back
And I open my mouth  

And the dam comes down
To drown the bullshit out
My legs pick me up again
Cause Im gunna get it
Im gunna get it
Im gunna get it 


  


Move Like Titan
