Description
Inspired by Morrissey's many quirky lyrics, "We Are History" is my attempt in writing a catchy pop song with a twist. The title and consequently the lyrics came from sitting on the Spanish Steps in Rome, watching antique buildings which stone fragments are almost literally devoured by time. This and the fact that I sometimes find it hard to come up with a musical idea that doesn't immediately remind me of some other existing song I know.
Lyrics
We are history All that I say And all that you do Bears any mystery And when I find the time To think about some other times I must regretfully inform you About this reality Nothing more, nothing less Though I try as hard as I try All that comes up to my mind Has been somebody else’s brainchild We are history I miss the wit Or simply the proof of it That there is nothing left to find Another achievement of mankind And when I take a moment To look more closely at the facts Only one single conclusion Comes creeping up to me Yes, I cannot stand it And the more I understand The gaping emptiness around me A sour lack of nonsense hunts me Please surprise me I beg you Do the things that I cannot do Someone break the spell Tell the stories we can’t tell Will you indulge me? Otherwise we are history Please, please surprise me I beg you Invent things that I don’t even grasp Someone bash me well Or sing words I cannot spell Will you indulge me? No doubt at all We are history
