I think Platinum Hit is restoring my producing abilities, because I finally made the layout for a song I started in May…

[mxtthewdelrey]

I couldn't finish my song until this morning because I had a rough night. But I'm very proud of it

[Hug]

Okay friends, I am going to sleep. I hope more people send because the drop off between the rounds is disgusting.

“Loch Ness”

inspired by the cryptid Loch Ness Monster

 

"Just a ripple on the surface, any sign that you exist

Any sign you’re truly out there, and I’ll gladly take the risk…"

Better late than never. Thanks @Jackson for the extra time, now I'm going into hibernation for at least 18 hours.

A Love In A Lie

Inspired by: Narcissus

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This song is inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus and Echo, mainly focusing on Narcissus.

It is written through the perspective of Narcissus. 

Narcissus - known for his beauty and arrogance, falls in love with his own reflection and eventually dies because of it.

Odyssey - an epic journey, originates from Odysseus' ten-year journey home from Troy.

Echo - a nymph who fell in love with Narcissus but he rejects her love.

Adonis - the god of beauty and desire.

Midas touch - to turn anything to gold.

BRIEF SUMMARY

"Narcissus continued to attract many nymphs all of whom he briefly entertained before scorning and refusing them. The gods grew tired of his behaviour and cursed Narcissus. They wanted him to know what it felt like to love and never be loved. They made it so there was only one whom he would love, someone who was not real and could never love him back.

 

One day whilst out enjoying the sunshine Narcissus came upon a pool of water. As he gazed into it he caught a glimpse of what he thought was a beautiful water spirit. He did not recognise his own reflection and was immediately enamoured. Narcissus bent down his head to kiss the vision.

 

As he did so the reflection mimicked his actions. Taking this as a sign of reciprocation Narcissus reached into the pool to draw the water spirit to him. The water displaced and the vision was gone. He panicked, where had his love gone? When the water became calm the water spirit returned.

 

“Why, beautiful being, do you shun me? Surely my face is not one to repel you. The nymphs love me, and you yourself look not indifferent upon me. When I stretch forth my arms you do the same; and you smile upon me and answer my beckonings with the like.”

 

Again he reached out and again his love disappeared. Frightened to touch the water Narcissus lay still by the pool gazing in to the eyes of his vision."

VERSE

(I think I've finally found a love)

Someone has finally matched my beauty

After an odyssey lasting a loveless lifetime

(I think I've finally found a love)

When others expressed their freak lust to me

I wouldn't echo it back, they weren't worthy enough

 

(But now I've finally found a love)

I found it through daydreams, staring at the sea

When an Adonis suddenly appeared in vision

(But now I've finally found a love)

Instantly he was right in front of me

What if I no longer had a reversed Midas touch?

 

But even if I can't touch you, my love won't give up

 

PRE-CHORUS

In dreams we will dance

I feel you

Not with my hands

I feel you

Only with my heart

I feel you

Never through touch

 

CHORUS

Cause as I stare at you amidst the azure sea

Your muddy blank mirrors stare right back at me 

I try to stroke your hair, I try to kiss your cheek

(You try to stroke my hair, you try to kiss my cheek)

But for some reason my kiss can never reach

(But for some reason your kiss can never reach) 

The waters drip on my lips as tides fold you in

In that moment I realise you were a figment

Cause as I try to stare back at you again

All that's staring back at me is the sand

A love in a lie

 

VERSE

(I think I found a love in a lie)

Unfortunately love got lost at sea

Back to Atlantis now a city lost forever

(I think I found a love in a lie)

I found a love but it never found me

I believed in the gods for the first and the last time

 

I thought I no longer had a reversed Midas touch

But even if I can't touch you, my love won't give up

 

PRE-CHORUS

In dreams we will dance

I feel you

Not with my hands

I feel you

Only with my heart

I feel you

Never through touch

 

CHORUS

Cause as I stared at you amidst the azure sea

Your muddy blank mirrors stared right back at me 

I tried to stroke your hair, I tried to kiss your cheek

(You tried to stroke my hair, you tried to kiss my cheek)

But for some reason my kiss could never reach

(But for some reason your kiss could never reach) 

The waters dripped on my lips as tides folded in

In that moment I realised you were a figment

Cause as I try to stare back at you again

All that's staring back at me is the sand

A love in a lie

 

BRIDGE

But even if I can't touch you, in dreams we will dance

My love won't give up even if all I have is sand

Even if you were just a reflection

I'll hold on tight to everything I have

Which is the memory that I'm capable to love

Even if it is me giving myself that chance

 

CHORUS

Cause as I stared at you amidst the azure sea

Your muddy blank mirrors stared right back at me 

I tried to stroke your hair, I tried to kiss your cheek

(You tried to stroke my hair, you tried to kiss my cheek)

But for some reason my kiss could never reach

(But for some reason your kiss could never reach) 

The waters dripped on my lips as tides folded in

In that moment I realised you were a figment

Cause as I try to stare back at you again

All that's staring back at me is the sand

A love in a lie

A love in a lie

For me love used to be a lie

But now I've found love in a lie

 

A love in a lie
