This is a clash of psychology with science, and, well, early The Cure meets Bowie's Scary Monsters. It's easy to be close to somebody and still not be seen or heard no matter how loudly you speak. Mixed all this up with some actual invisibility science, so believe it or not, in terms not being seen this song stands on solid physics, until it doesn't....

BEND THE LIGHT

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you
You walk by me
I’m a meta material
New spectrum
No infrared
I’m headed to the Blue Hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m gonna be famous
I’m gonna be famous

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

You bend the light
But I’m gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I’m famous

Bend The Light

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Double shame that drowned me in the rain
Pulled me down a deep and dark hole
My weak flesh burning out in vain
Couldn't lift an inch to stay whole
Was dying there with no pulse or flinch
Losing ground, inch by bitter inch

Oh God come save me from myself
Before I stumble further down
This trauma's screaming out for help
These wounds are screaming loud
I can't let it end without a sound

I can't keep the secret any longer
Can't pretend I've got it all together
Can't pray when I don't feel spiritual
The weight keeps pulling me under
So come and help me find the way
Need Your light to break through the grey

Show me how to be stronger
Can't keep this secret any longer
No more lies, no more shame
Breaking free from all this pain
No more lies, no more shame
I'm calling out Your name

Need something more than me
More than what these eyes can see
When temptation comes around to betray
Every promise that I made

Gotta be a better man today
Gotta rise above this grave
'Cause I know what I believe
Even when my heart's afraid
Oh God I'm reaching out my hands
Before I fall too far away

This battle raging deep within
I need Your strength to make a stand
Can't fight these demons on my own
I can't keep the secret any longer
Can't pretend I've got it all together
Can't pray when I don't feel spiritual

The weight keeps pulling me under
So come and help me find the way
Need Your light to break through the grey
Show me how to be stronger
Can't keep this secret any longer

No more lies, no more shame
Breaking free from all this pain
No more lies, no more shame
I'm calling out Your name

Send me to the other side
Where the darkness cannot hide
So I can't break the final seal
Won't bow down to what's not real

Send forth Your holy chariots now
Where every knee must bow and kneel
Let Your fire make me whole again
Burn away this guilty skin
Fill me with Your light within

I can't break
Won't break the seal
Send Your fire
Take me higher
Light the way

I can't keep the secret any longer
Can't pretend I've got it all together
Can't pray when I don't feel spiritual
But I'm reaching out from under
You came and helped me find the way
Your light broke through the darkest grey

Now I'm rising up much stronger
Won't keep this secret any longer
No more lies, no more shame
You broke the chains, I'm not the same

I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
No more shame
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Won't keep this secret anymore

No More Shame

That is That

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.
