Last Day Of Our Lives

Last Day Of Our Lives

VERSE:
Last day of our lives is upon us,
Where are we gonna go when all's been done?
We'll shed our skin, and our spirits,
And breathe like our lives have just begun.

VERSE:
I've been many people in the past,
Many more are surely still to come,
How can I ever come to know myself,
When I'm someone else to everyone?

BRIDGE:
If everybody stopped trying to be something they were not,
Then nobody would be anything.
So like a tree covered in frost we gleam so brilliantly,
Though we're withered and dying underneath.

VERSE:
As we took a walk through the cemetery,
Where the tombstones told us what was true.
"Beloved father, husband, and best friend",
Entire lives summarized in a line or two.

VERSE:
Who I choose to disguise myself as today,
In the end nobody will recall.
But who I am doesn't come from within me,
It comes from those who stood by me through it all.

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

VERSE:
So someday, many years from now,
When I'm just a blotch on the obituary page,
Will you still bring me a card on my birthday,
And leave it nestled up against my grave?

Chord Progression (in case anyone cares)
VERSE:
C Fsus2 G Am7 (x2)
BRIDGE:
Em F C G (x4)

I picked it out as best I could on the piano and I like the music. Your lyrics have some cool atmosphere to them, and, instead of being a high-school feeling emotionfest, your narrator has hints of true experience behind him or her. Good balance for a song between explaining what's going on and leaving room for listener interpretation. I like it.

It's good, I like how everything comes together.. I think you should use the BRIDGE again, you know,
If everybody stopped trying to be something they were not,
Then nobody would be anything.
So like a tree covered in frost we gleam so brilliantly,
Though we're withered and dying underneath.

That line, I like it, it sounds to me like a chorus, and should be repeated. IMO. VERSE:
"Who I choose to disguise myself as today,
In the end nobody will recall"
Maybe try it as.. Who I choose to be today, Nobody will know tommorow.

Wow...that piece really took my breath away! I'll try playing it on my Gibson!

I can really relate to the lyrics!

Nice work!

!TASH!

I love this. It leaves room for people to think what the lyrics mean. For me, it sort of reminds me of one of the songs my friends and I made up called ' what happened to our world'. I can't really remember the lyrics, but what I remember, makes me think of this song. I love it. I especially like the part
'though were withering and dying underneath.' I also like the line before that, but I'm to lazy to type the rest of it. I like this a lot really.
