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!

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
