about

This song describes a very detailed experience of meeting someone you immediately realize will have a strong impact on your life. The first time you truly open up to another wondering soul is a cathartic experience that can shape your future. After such fateful meetings, thoughts tend to flurry you analyze every detail of what had just happened. The thorough spoken word element to this song represents and portrays analytical process of these encounters. Musically the instruments swell in and out of a quiet and loud fashion in order to emulate the variety of emotions when you are deciphering your feelings for someone.

lyrics

They called me a leader
An example of the highly sought after epitome of manhood
The prime buck of a patriarchy
An advocate of recreational fertility
I ALWAYS thought it demeaning but I accepted my place
And I restored the confidence in confiding in my ability
The ability to swoon
The ability to lie
The ability to meander the gifts bestowed upon myself
And it goes around and around again for years
Years of coping
Years of trying to forget
Escapism plagued and sustained the habit
And even in the corse of the act, the half hearted arrangement clearly shaped my vision
Not often was it the intention
No
At least that’s what I had to convince myself
The conversations spun in circles and never did our hearts or minds progress
Yet we ate that fruit, we materialized the juices and nectar from our garbage
Too apathetic to truly resent myself
Too apathetic to stand up for myself
Too apathetic to finish this thought

A whirlwind graced my world
She came down and demolished all established artifacts of previous culture and business
Synchronized the division between hospitality and hostility
I remember why I was hailed a king, why my Gods found me responsible for the abuse
And oh the years of abuse I had looked in the eye that night
It was discovered that the storm was but a drop of water
And nothing had really changed at all
Yet things still seemed to remain the same
Except maybe this time I love myself
She would often glance away as if she was wrong for looking a man in the eye
It became so apparent to I, and seemingly only I, that she was truly the result of her past
The man that was once mighty was shaken at the mere sight he beheld
He adored that feeling
He adored her speaking
Echoes of WHAT WENT WRONG stormed the conversation
Somehow there was solace in that fact between the lines of both worlds
Through an improper form of communication the beings painted a mural
Detailing the memories of art, happiness, depression and joy
The love and the loss
And the conversation crystalized over time after the moment had taken its relief
Hearts beated,
Palms sweat
And the very Earth the king stood on shook in retaliation to these developments
I hated the king and loved the peasant, acted the fool
How foolish of me for never realizing
All three were one in the same
And as I walked down M21 that very night to feel the summer breeze caress every pore in my body
the king realized he had never been so enthralled
How foolish of him to believe that he would never find his best friend
But there she bellied
There she stood
There she was
Breaking every rule that had been established over the years
I confronted the breeze with all that enveloped me
She was a melody that no musician had ever composed
She was a dictionary that described all emotions that were once foreign to myself, the king and the fool
A simple flick of the finger and I would have been hers forever
Where this story goes is yet to be for tolled
And after all had been said and done a million times before
I looked in the mirror
I saw what I’ve always been
I was made for her
I am the wiz kidr
I am the wiz kid
