i tried to find my voice
til the wind blew it from me.
it came to the ear of a girl
who cried cuz i sang so terribly.

earth moves
on axis
on sun.
i move
to work
and then home.
isn't wind
unmerciful?
pushes
are meaner
than pulls.

i found where things went wrong.
it was when i was born, i was born.
i found where things went wrong.
when i was born, i was born.

i tried to find my voice
but once it leaves my mouth
it belongs to somebody else
and no wind will bring it back.

moon moves
'round earth
moves round sun.
i move
to work and
then home.
isn't wind
unforgiving?
revolving is
nicer than
spinning.

but i found out when things things went wrong.
when i was born, i was born.
it dawned on me when it went wrong.
it was when i was born, i was born.

This is a cool song. Just remember that your voice will get better with time.

I feel&love it.
nothing more to be said.

if you write such things that make me so happy with their beauty it can't have gone that wrong.

Geoffrey,

Nice song, for me I get the impression of someone assessing or questioning their place in the universe, the voice symbolizing that relationship. Given that interpretation I just wonder why these lines are here ?
pushes
are meaner
than pulls
revolving is
nicer than
spinning

But good song.

I can udnderstand why the lines are there. Someone questioning their place in life, and why they have to fight these fights against things so unbearable (like the wind going agaist you.) Great song. I loved the way the wind was related to all of the things that muffle our voice in this world (or, at least, that's how it appealed to me.) Keep it up!

There's a thin fine line between hate and rage.
Now watch the line be crossed and break!

everything in the universe is effected by pushes and pulls and energies and movments and so forth. it's showing a good vs. evil through forces instead of identities and then claiming it's these opposing forces at work that give me such a hard time. well.. give everyone a hard time. gravity is a pull so wioithout it we'd be floating in space.. so it's kind. the wind being a push is harsh and seeingly making disorder.. so it's mean. revolving is going in circles which sucks but it's better than having your head spinning.
