Tale's Tutorials: & 7-string Guitar drop A - Self Destruct (formerly A7)
Not to worry, I’m not suicidal. I did write the lyrics during one of the many dark times in my recent past though.
Reasons why I’m not:
1) IF there is any “Great Beyond”, about 90% of all religions say you just don’t. I consider this least among my motivations.
2) I plan to produce in any way possible till I just can’t. If sight and hearing fail me, I’ll record someway till all cognition is gone.
3) Then it won’t matter. I only hope I am treated humanely though I don’t kid myself: This system has shown me far too many times how little they care, even in that they work those in the system and fill their client lists to the point they are ineffective at best.
So...enough here...as stated in the video, I’ll await my next Treasure on deciding the final melody and vocal style then, if the Fates allow, sing back-up, just play or listen as those who come after me realize this work in their own way.
Self Destruct
Revolutions, institutions, madness everywhere,
Insane eyes bulging, the stench of death in the air.
Fascism, racism, hate at every turn,
As I sit idly by and watch the world burn.
Climatic catastrophe, climactic causality,
As if none could see our certain destiny,
Try as I will, try as I might,
I can see no good end to this plight.
(Chorus)
Whatever outcome I might construct,
The world we’re in is still corrupt.
Simple fact is we are f**ked,
So why not simply...self-destruct?
(Raging shred solo - any instruments)
Can’t say you think the same but my life’s just a game.
So I plan to play well, give the other guys hell,
So, as you can tell as you hear me yell...
Instead of sit in silence, in fear in this little shell.
(Repeat 1st Verse, Chorus)
