I love the slow beginning of this song. So calm. Sounds like it begins with a deep breath. Steady beat, guitar. Just nice all the way around.
“Moving out west, things got lonely, trying my best, nobody showed me, which way to go, I didn’t know, hating my past, I found the old me, bulletproof vest, my only clothing, hiding alone, prison is home, just a man’s make-up, fake love, make ’em all laugh, come on, someone, take off your mask, it’s nice to meet, honey what you done, come from escaping so fast, we’re from dungeons, Alcatraz, it’s nice to meet”
I love that this song seems to be encouraging us to be real with one-another. I think it’s talking about that stuff that we all go through and pretend not to. I hear the “it’s nice to meet” and picture two people finally opening up to one-another about their shared pain.
Maybe open up to someone today? Maybe open up to a journal. If there’s stuff inside that’s hurting…get it out!
Love you. BGDG.
