4 Primes


Grand prize to you if you can guess why the song is called "4 Primes". The lyrics were inspired by this little missive I wrote.

I want to be the sunlight coming through the window pane.
I want to be the window pane feeling the patter of rain.
I want to be the pregnant cloud giving life to the grass below.
I want to feel the lawnmower scythe as my existence is mowed.

I want to be you as I listen to this song.
I want to be you as you sing along.
I want to be the sound coming out of my guitar.
I want to be the sound that makes this world fall apart.

I want to be the sun, shining rays that make you swoon,
bouncing off of the earth, and reaching the dark side of the moon.
I want to be a star, a collapsing black hole.
[A singularity at the edge of the universe.]
I want to be my guitar, making love to my music's soul.

I want to be the sound that makes this world fall apart.
I want to be the world that falls apart by the sound.
