Liner Notes

This one is for the Oracle Challenge. I drew the card "Trapped" - this is my take on that topic.
Instruments:
Hand made 3 String Cigar Box Guitar (Open G)
PRS SE Santana on Solo
Drums by Boss Drums on my BR80 Multitrack Recorder (Old School me 😉 ) Machine

Lyrics

I was caught in my own snare and now I'm trapped
I'm not keen on constant change, but I'll have to adapt
All the dreams I held so close must now be scrapped
I was caught in my own snare and now I'm trapped

The whole future before me I had mapped
But that snare of mine has left me handicapped
The jury's out but the judge is black capped
The whole future before me I had mapped

What I had to offer remains untapped
What she gave me, I thought came gift-wrapped
Her cold kisses now leave my lips chapped
What I had to offer remains untapped

GUITAR SOLO

I built the snare myself in which I'm trapped
My conscience should have had my knuckles rapped
It was the Devil's thoughts I must have tapped
When I built the snare myself in which I'm trapped

Love the aesthetic on this! I'm a sucker for early 90s drum machine sounds. Lo-fi guitars sound great and the whole thing grooves along!

Haha, wow! How many words can even rhyme with "trapped"? But you nailed it! What visions! You've captured that feeling perfectly. The way you weaved everything together was brilliant. Each word adds to the vibe and the message comes through so clearly in your performance. Outstanding work on the challenge! Thanks so much for taking part! 😄

AAAA all the way, and you left me completely blind about the type of trap until halfway through! I wish your protagonist better communication skills in the future! I liked having just a riff for a chorus, which surprised me.
