FAWM: "Eyes Like Daggers"

Eyes Like Daggers

Liner Notes

I heard a fun fast pop song while listening to other stuff here and thought I'd give a shot to write something more upbeat.

I found the title "Eyes Like Daggers" written in my idea book with no other lyrics and based the song on that.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
(A) Eyes like daggers cutting me down
(D) Searching for things I have not found
(B) Angry aardvarks escaped from the zoo
(E) Every falsehood has a mix of (D) truth
Snap the whip like a hurricane
Everywhere I turn things gone insane
I need to shut down the Internet
I read the comments and lost the bet

Chorus:
(A) These days (D) The chaos reigns
(B) The lion escaped (E) don't get mamed
I need to find an ounce of peace
Eyes like daggers are killing me

Verse 2:
Eyes like daggers with laser eyes
Cut the diamond to find a surprise
Red ruby locked inside the stone
It makes no sense said the king on his throne
Burning Fires, we need the wet
Everyone seems to look and forget
I need to get on the plane
Before snow and ice bring me down again

I love, love the rhythm in this one! The lyrics--comparing the now to escaped animals, yeah. The first two lines are so chock with meaning. "Eyes like daggers cutting me down/searching for things I have not found." For sure. People get so angry with each other for not knowing the same things--utter madness. The last verse is a teasing mystery that makes me want to listen again, but it is 2 am. lol
