once again, playing with The Muse tools FAWM offers, I clicked to generate some random lyric seeds and titles, and ran with 'em.
This isn't really intended to make much sense (in the late-period REM tradition, let's say), but it does capture a feeling.
I have no idea what the title means - it came straight out of the random generator, but it spoke to me....
Haven't composed any sort of music yet, though I expect when I get there, it'll be some solid noise-rock that makes copious use of all these guitar pedals I have lying around....
art fades, the shadow drowns
shattered glass, heartbeat pounds
reflections burnt, wasted lust
the magic dying, broken trust
falling bricks, broken dreams
contant knowing, unseen schemes
when the seventh rolls
we watch the sirens
the miles pass by, ignoring tolls
karma waits beyond the horizon
pleasure, pain, complicity
emotions, splintered trinity
unholy boons, heavy bludgeon
darkness falls, smooth and sudden
divided, buried, facing struggle
crying out, our screams muzzled
when the seventh rolls
we watch the sirens
the miles pass by, ignoring tolls
karma waits beyond the horizon
without the prize, reward fleeting
sudden threats, labored breathing
thickest thieves, cast in bronze
magicians plunged to depthless ponds
bloodstained hands, reflected shame
unwilling players of the game
when the seventh rolls
we watch the sirens
the miles pass by, ignoring tolls
karma waits beyond the horizon

I'm not sure what this means either but I think I like it. Actually it reminds me of some of the freeform stuff that came out of the sixties, most notably Mike Nesmith's "Tapioca Tundra".

This reads kind of like an obscure prophecy driving a story, where the characters don't know what it means either. Like some poor seer was hoping to save them trouble, but it's useless because, until it's happening and inescapable, it's also incomprehensible.

I don't know what it means either, but it sure sounds deep! (yes, in REM tradition but this one is all yours!)
