Desperation

(Howard Aronson)

This lyric is about me being in the throes of my addiction. It's what it felt like when I was sitting in my house getting high, with a feeling of desperation, and of hopelessness. I felt like that many times, in fact probably every time I was high, even though I thought I was having fun. At the end it certainly wasn't any fun no matter how hard I tried. I guess I was desperate on both sides of the coin desperate to try to find some some fun or happiness, and also some desperation to find relief. Trying to find fun and happiness and anything that's useful out of using drugs, is an illusion. Basically when you're inside getting high you're just stuck in the four walls of your house, apartment, room whatever. It's self imprisonment. There's no hope, time is there seems like there's no end in sight, and that's when you need to get desperate, and have faith that someone out there cares enough to lead you out of the fire.

I can't smile
I can't cry
Been this way for so long
And I know why

I can't walk
Can't run
It's all clouds
And no sun

I got this sense
Of desperation
I need some help
Some inspiration
I'm stuck
I'm stuck

I turn left
I turn right
There's only walls
Nothing else in sight

I need an Angel
I need some luck
I need it now
Or I'm fucked

I got this sense
Of desperation
I need some help
Some inspiration
I'm stuck
I'm stuck

Drugs are the reason
I know they're not the answer
Soon I will die
By crack and not by cancer
I can't smile
I can't cry
Been this way for so long
And I know why

I can't walk
Can't run
It's all clouds
And no sun

I got this sense
Of desperation
I need some help
Some inspiration
I'm stuck
I'm stuck

Flood of blood

By Howard Aronson

I was inspired to write this lyric the other day, because of the terrorist act that happened in New York City on a subway train. It has to do with how accessible guns are in our country, and how they end up in the wrong people's hands. I'm not against the second amendment, but what I am against is getting guns illegally, or not doing the proper background checks. The person that did this the other day, could be very mentally ill, and should be given support way before these things come to fruition. You definitely was a very angry, and deranged person, but who knows what demons he was fighting. No I'm not excusing the act at all, and he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, or sent to a mental facility for the rest of his life. But the fact that guns are so easily accessible, will continue to keep these mass shootings happening.

Black widow woman

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is pretty self-explanatory. It's about a woman who was like a black widow spider, and once she catches you in her web, you can never leave until you die. She does this to multiple guys, it doesn't care how many she takes now. She's very cunning and fools you into thinking that her love is true. Then before you know it you're caught in the web.

Without you

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about two people who are deeply in love. But one of them has been sick for a long time with cancer. They finally die, and the other person reflects on what they had between them. They also don't want to be patronized by other people and have them say oh it was meant to be. That's pathetic, although it may be true. They need kindness, a hug, softness, and support. If you going to be that way to someone in their time of need especially when they lose a loved one then just leave them alone and let them grieve the way they need to. Eventually through the process of having supportive friends, and through their own way of grieving, they will be able to move on in life.

Save me

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a relationship where one person sees the love of their life and finally ask them to marry them. Unfortunately that person says no, he tells them that there's someone else. That's got to be a devastating thing to hear, and we'll just do so much damage to your ego pride and faith. You can't always get what you want in life, and that's true in relationships plenty of times. It takes a while to bounce back and move on but at some point you have to do it. You have to dig deep, get up and dust yourself off, and move forward if you don't, bad things will happen.

Let All Redeemed

By Stanley Chris

The death of Christ on the Cross ushered us into liberty from the bondage of sin. The icing on the cake is that His ministry didn't end there; He lives on as our High Priest before the Father, interceding for us daily in order that He may present us to God blameless on the last day (1 Thessalonians 5:23). What a Gospel, one so glorious that He has entrusted us to take its message to those in our worlds so that they too can receive the blessings of its truth; to bring them home to love, faith and hope, the three eternal principles of the Kingdom (1 Corinthians 13:13). The other mind-blowing reality of this is that we have been raised with Christ to a position of authority where we rule in victory in His Name (Ephesians 2:4-6). These are the themes expressed in this song, and the Bridge invites all to bring high praise to the risen King who brought us back to God, and defeated man's greatest fear: the sting of deaths.

Adieu

By Sherab Lhamo

A song in which love is compared to fighting a losing battle. War here is the relationship while the battles are the feelings. It’s when you do everything you can and realize there’s nothing left to give. So you accept defeat and bid farewell

Turn The Tide

By Steven Soucy

Turn the Tide is about war, fighting for your people and homes. The moment the aggressor learns they cannot defeat you. In honor of Ukraine and their people.

Dear Storm

By Karianne Gabaldon

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.
