Below are the thoughts and lyrics of Erin Luce.
i finished writing another song a few weeks ago,courtesy of casey's guitar and jaymee's encouragement.it's about how hard it is to really be honest and open with people, like 100%. when i was younger i was theshyest and quietest kid you ever met, and it's taken me years to get where i am now - and i'd say that's pretty far. . .heehee! a couple of months ago my mind was going nuts with all the emotions and feelings of moving and all kinds of things in my life changing.sometimes i hate having to be all mature and grown up when i just want to throw a fit about something! but i guess that decision is the mark of maturity itself.the end of this song talks about how there are parts of me that everyone can see because i let them, but there is a side that no one can see unless i shine the light on it myself. (maybe pink floyd was on the right track. . .forget i said that.) i'm really trying these days to be comfortable and let my guard down so we can all benefit from how our friendships will grow.proverbs says better is open rebuke than hidden love.. .not that we should all start rebuking each other,but being more open about showing (and speaking) love.the point is that i've been realizing more and more the importance of honesty. it's tough, but it can be done.
Song:
i could describe how i waited so long
and i played off so strong
when the world didn't know me, my heart was alone
'cause scared got ahold, i was cold
it's not a big deal to miss you so much
but i'm scared to lose touch
time makes me crazy when we're here face to face
and fear takes the place of honesty
pull out, someone pull me out
i'm in here somewhere
looking for signs, wrapped up in feelings
waiting for something new
all of this time i have been stealing
don't let me lie to you
speaking my mind is harder some days
is it worth it to even say?
life isn't helping, but friends are for sure
to spend time regretting is just too familiar
i love you, but if i don't say one word
then you'll never hear me
*i don't want the world to see me
'cause i don't think that they'd understand
our hearts are not meant to be lonely
so i want you to know who i am*
looking for signs, wrapped up in feelings
waiting for something new
but all of this time i've still been dreaming
outside this guarded view i've found my something new
look at the sky
see where the light hits the moon
i'll meet you on the other side
look at the sky
see where the light hits the moon
i'll meet you on the other side
