Behind: Alibi

 

Alibi.  I started working on this song with my friend, Steve Scher about a month or two ago.  He gave me the beginning chords and riff, and I took it from there and tried to develop it further.  

As far as the song meaning goes, it's essentially about a girl, or people in general, who trick the world and trick themselves into thinking they have it all together.  That feeling of false normalcy and convention, but realizing there's more to life than following the rule book.   It's not meant to negate convention, but it is meant to question it.  It's meant to urge people not to use convention as an alibi.   

I should have a post about exciting events within the next few days.  Stay tuned!

xo.

 

Alibi - Lyrics

She's wearing the powder blue dress again

The one she first learned to pretend in

And she knows all of her lines

Perfected the art of a fake smile

Time for the curtain call

Takes a bow for it all

She cried, "All will be forgotten

There is something more on the other side."

She tried staying inside the lines

But all she did was hide

What an alibi

Feeling like a stranger in her own skin

Realizing what it really means to live

But she knows all of the lies

She's told herself in holding out for the prize.

Time for the curtain call

Takes a bow for it all

She cried, "All will be forgotten

There is something more on the other side."

She tried staying inside the lines

But all she did was hide

What an alibi

Lose your inclination to be 

Another copy of a story we've seen

Rid your guilt and feel

The liberation of a nation finally free
