I don't have a tune for this. The working title is "Distracted."
It fills my head night and day.
I can't make it go away.
Sometimes I think I might be crazy.
Get nothing done, so maybe I'm just lazy.
I talk to people, but my mind's not there.
They ask me a question and get a blank stare.
Could you repeat the question, please?
Maybe I can answer it and appease.
I wish I could set this thing aside
But it comes back from deep inside.
I finish a task and start over again
Like Sisyphus, I never get to the end.
I'm sorry for the way I've acted.
This thing has got me really distracted.

Hi Renee,
Good start :D I like the rhymes and reference to Sisyphus. I think you got the lyrics vague enough. I can't get a strong sense of what is distracting the singer. My guesses are the singer has ADD or Alzheimer's or is guilt ridden or drug addict or love struck.
Musically, I could picture something like the Beatles "Across the Universe".
Thanks for sharing.

I was trying to cypher this but.....I got distracted
snicker snicker
You got me confuzalted with this one.
Now please explain yours
It's about the process of songwriting and recording. The reason that I thought it might be the same subject as MrEWorm's is his mention of lights and buttons and singing along, which I thought might be the recorder. That wrong interpretation of his song has given me ideas for more lyrics for my song - talking about the recorder itself and possibly a dialog with it.

Yes, yes, whatever gets it going....Go for it! :D
I love the meaning of your song, and I know the feeling!
Yes, your lyrics make sense. I was so focused on finding an animal, vegetable or mineral that I never considered it could be about internal processes.
