You say what you want, some say they don't even have dreams, others say they don't remember them. But...I...do!! I have had crazy dreams all my life. I could turn this blog into a 25 page analysis of all the dreams I have had, but I came here for one dream in particular.
As some of you may know, Snake Skin Prison has released our 4th Installment: "Blood in the Water"...
Typical EP Fashion, we have 3 songs on here (plenty more recorded, don't worry) and I honestly feel this is by far our best product yet.
Out of the 3 songs...there is one called: "Lost in the Middle"
I was on KLBJ with Loris Lowe and promised to blog about this song and the lyrics...so here goes:
One night after drinking on a classy box of wine, and taking some sleeping aids...I found myself quickly fading from reality into a dark comatose state of sleep...
I quickly awoke and found myself in a desert. I was confused as to how I got to this place, I knew (and have always been able to acknowledge) I was in a dream...thus choosing to take advantage of the playground in my head...vs being scared of it. As I looked at my surroundings I noticed there were these (*1)TALL...like telephone tall crucifixes with bodies nailed to them. I remember thinking, I don't have time to (*2) worry about that...I gotta get out of here!! I turned around and who was there...??...no joke...(*3)Yayo...yes...Yayo from the band Yayo and from the band Cosmic Wolf (playing tonight at the parish). I remember thinking, "Hell he's from here, he should be able to get us out of here!!"
As we navigated through this (*4) mind-field desert...remember this desert only exists in my mind...I noticed a long line of people...walking aimlessly. As I got near them, I noticed they were (*5) slaves...and the guy in front would throw a (*6) rock just in any random direction...and that's where they'd walk. Once they got to the rock...he would pick it up and throw it again...and off they'd go with no purpose...that I could derive.
I remember thinking, "I just want to find my way back to Kelly..." (that's my wife if you didn't know...ya know...the girl from 'Alcohol of Fame' Video...yeah that actually happened...) ... I was upset and missed her...and I remember thinking to myself, (*7) "I am literally lost in the middle of the desert with out her..." There was a huge feeling of sadness...like, "Will I ever see her again?"
I came up to this (*8) hill...I guess sand dune...and when I got to the top...I literally laughed out loud...what did I see...a (*9)Vallero gas station...I thought, "only in a Texas desert would there be a Vallero..."
So this is where the song stops, I actually have some more lyrics but in hopes of keeping the song at the proper length...we cut it there...for now!
To finalize the dream for you ... I made my way to this "gas station" (this was an experience) and once I got inside it's a whole other wild ride of fictional delusion and comatose creations(it was more of a mad house then a gas station)...so I guess the question to ask would be...did I ever make it out...well...hmmm....I guess I'll have to make you wait until I can musically spin that one!
Here's the lyrics you can follow the notations above and see how they coincide...
(*1)Bodies hanging above me, bodies hanging and (*2)I don't care
In a (*4)mindfield of desert, a (*3)gun slinger with long black hair
(*7)lost in the middle without you again...Lost in the middle without you again
(*5)A slavery on the run now, follow the rock that he must throw
But just over the (*8)hill now, there is a (*9)place with much in store
lost in the middle with out you again, lost in the middle without you again
Lost in the middle without you again, lost in the middle without you again
Hope to see you tonight!
