Stargaze

I found this sitting in my emails when looking for something else! Whoops! This is 4 years old, but still provides awesomeness. Enjoy!

Go take a look at the road

To see what on earth is going on ahead of you

It's so new like never before

With the innovation at its finest

While showing all of your true power

Please don't go

Into the path 

Known as conformity

And don't fall asleep within your own mind

Just take a look at what's inside

That's just the way you will thrive!

(small guitar interlude)

Never ignore

The thoughts within your heart

From the start

They're all yours

Like the pride within a lion's golden mane

Go journey on the forbidden road

Display all the joy in the world

Climb up that incline

That's as steep as a mountain

The finish line is right there in front of you

Just sprint across that line

It's so divine

You will be fine!

(another small guitar interlude)

Take a look around you

And smell those flowers

They're right there in front of your face

Because you're able to stargaze

The empty sky is yours to design

Don't fill your canvas with cloudy days

Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there

Don't let it slip away

Or flutter on past you

Into the abyss

Go ahead and strike a pose

And never be afraid to stargaze!

Shout your heart out

Towards the sun and the stars

Try not to let the wind go into your head

It will cloud you like a tornado

Just step in time and keep a clear mind

Stress is like a vampire

That's ready to eat you alive

It will infest through your veins

Provoking panic and fear

While tears of sorrow drip down your face

(filled with fear)

Hold on… 

Stop right there and stay dead in your tracks

It is the man who's here to douse you with some ease!

So chill 

While trying to lack insanity

You need to fight on all those goddamn fears

And don't freeze in tears

Now try to go ahead and stand tall

Just live for the moment and stay alive!

(another small guitar interlude wheeeee!)

Take a look around you

And smell those flowers

They're right there in front of your face

Because you're able to stargaze

The empty sky is yours to design

Don't fill your canvas with cloudy days

Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there

Don't let it slip away

Or flutter on past you

Into the abyss

Go ahead and strike a pose

And never be afraid to stargaze!

Take a breath around here!

Look at what's all around you!

Instead of mindlessly leaving

You need to go and start moving!

And hopefully not envision any negativity 

So be strong! 

To enable yourself to live life to all its fullest

Just don't break down

Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there

Chase it with everything you've got within your heart

Stand tall

Be yourself 

And you better not be afraid to stargaze!

Chill the Fuck Out

I’m not ok
The spirits in my heart are trying to take over
Where is the bay?
It’s all over the place…

Nothing makes sense anymore
As I’m trying to escape through the dark depths of hell
What do I do?
I can ward off the demons and chill.

Relax!
Before you fall on over
For the demon to take over
Why must it be me?
There’s a reason for that
Take a deep breath
And make sure to release the warrior inside!

Still hanging in there
Before I get even sicker
I don’t need a doctor
I need a miracle and a prayer
What I can’t see
Is where I need to be
Before the ship sets sail without me…

Take a deep breath
Before you fall on over
For the demon to take over
Why me?
It happens for a reason
Chill the fuck out
And make sure to release the evil inside!

Damn
What the hell is going gin this lifetime of mine
I hope I’ll be fine
Rest in pieces
Is where I’ll go if I don’t feed myself with love and healing
I need to get the fuck out of here
In order for me to see clear
What do I do?
Where do I go?
Just get up and keep on trying
(and don’t ever give up)

Chill the fuck out
Before you wage a war with the demon inside
Why me?
It happens for a reason
Then why not me?
It’s time to embrace life
Everything happens for a reason
You need to make sure to please yourself
So take a deep breath
And be are to release the beast inside!

Take a deep breath
And chill the fuck out
Take a deep breath
And chill the fuck out
Take a deep breath
And chill the fuck out
(and don’t ever give up)

Thank the Heavens for Life in Trying Times

When someone knocks on the door and wants to come inside
The desire for a mask truly comes to life
Putting on a show of pretentious false reality
Displaying a world of lies
For the public eye
Your skin is the costume to your bones
To either get decorated or ripped apart...

Something will come along soon as long as the proper path is picked!

Masking the pain will exacerbate the life wrapped behind closed doors
In front of the curtain there's unicorns, rainbows, and smiles
On the other side there's lightning and fear
With only a tiny peep hole to look if you dare
At the chaos behind the veil...

I don't want you to see me crumbling from the inside out
Nothing but perfect is ever enough
Caring will only do so much
But change comes from the flames within!

How much am I worth?
My senses are all that matter,
But when you're thrown into the fire by your own blood and clone
And further ripped apart by those who claim to share hearts
It leaves a scar larger than life.
Just let it pass,
Keep moving along,
And realize not all sights are sharks.
I am not my scars!

I don't want you to see me crumbling from the inside out
Nothing but perfect is ever enough
Caring will only do so much
But change comes from the flames within!

When the world owes you nothing
And people owe you money,
You pray the platform you're carefully standing on doesn't crumble...
There's such thing as stability
And it doesn't feel real except for mental tenacity,
The only thing keeping me alive!

I don't want you to see me crumbling from the inside out
Nothing but perfect is ever enough
Caring will only do so much
But change comes from the flames within!

The only thing to do in desperate times
Is to keep on going,
To never ever quit,
And thank the heavens for life!

Never Ever Give Up Pride

I have a bunch of song lyrics I wrote within the past few years (not too many new ones currently), and this is one of them. I generally write songs for metal music. All words enclosed in caps, **, and !!!!! mean the word is meant to be emphasized and screamed. Enjoy the more harsh side of me!

======================================

Dear God,

Please hurry up!

Just make this world a better place to live in.

Open your eyes and see what people are suffering through!

This pit of pain needs to go away!

Is change as difficult as it seems?

While trying not to give up,

It’s difficult to overcome the feelings of being on a sinking ship

As life and time turn the page.

Why do people seem to never understand

Who us “different people” are trying to represent…

However, challenging society as one of those “different” people

Comes with a large price and an even greater reward.

The evil spirits are terrorizing us,

Causing countless casualties to the colored.

Bliss seems to be in distant lands.

Some may even be crazy enough to embark on these journeys alone while never giving up

*PRIDE!!!!!*

It’s what we see in our minds.

Everyone wants a glimpse of this beautiful victory.

Sometimes there are people down on their luck

*screams* Look past it,

Get over it,

It will be over soon.

*Never let those fuck ups pry into and destroy your glorious chant*

We all analyze society

And how much of a hot mess it is,

But we continue to roll along in lala land

On the painful march towards the glory road of life

*AND LOVE!!!!!*

Throughout our youth,

We’re oh so sheltered and think our destiny is as small and direct as an acorn.

I was told you need to do xyz, go to school, get a job, and off you go goodbye!

It’s such a bust…

When the adventures take shape,

The field of vision morphs from an acorn to an ocean!

Some wonder why

People want to toss the towel in so soon.

All it does is hinder your life.

Patience is your ultimate virtue

Don’t rush into the current of the tide

Or you will drown.

When you’re stuck on the ground,

Don’t frown

Because there are always ways around.

Once you make it to the top, 

People will see you as a guru and use you as an example.

Keep your head in the game

And be the one to go out of the line to get straight to the top.

While society brainwashes itself with excuses,

There is a select few who decide to look for the secret levels across the fire pit.

It’s scary,

Be wary,

Keep going… and never ever give up

*PRIDE!!!!!*

It’s what we see in our minds.

Always be wary,

But keep on going… and never ever give up

Resilience of the Sword

Another set of lyrics are up and ready to go (finally). This one is basically about if you want to change the world, you need to get up and do something. Enjoy the loveliness! Dreams ARE real!

---

Welcome to a world that keeps you hungry
Dashing here and there chasing after your dreams
You keep on searching
For the path leading to the gold

Be bold and daring to conduct some experiments
Living for experience
Avoiding being delirious
Looking for the food to fill your muses
Be sure to avoid blowing up the fuses

Who are you?
Do you want to change the world, or set it on fire, or sit and not do a damn thing?
You watch others win the race
And see yourself as a disgrace
Don't let them bring you down!

But make sure to get off your ass
While not roaming with sass
Now get the fuck up and go!

Follow your dreams
You've probably heard that phrase about a million times
But as cheesy as it sounds
You know what you ought to do
Go get it!
Go get it!

If you're stuck in the grind or shuttered to the mundane and the shrine seems like it's light years away,
It's your job to not cry, or run awry and make sure you try.
Now look at the ocean,
And keep your head in motion
To realize how much you're able to pull the sword from the stone...

Welcome to a universe that never stops moving,
Never sleeps,
Never quits,
And even rarely disconnects
If you take a step back you may feel as if you missed everything...

If you feel as if you're absent
Time melts itself away,
But if you try to stay present
You don't want to end up in the desert

If you're doing something you don't want to do,
Don't give up,
Don't give up!

If the only thing in your vision is a big fat endless loop,
Go destroy it,
Go destroy it!

Stay resilient and confident!
You can do it!
Don’t you stop now!
So keep fighting!

Follow your dreams
You've probably heard that phrase about a million times
But as cheesy as it sounds
You know what you ought to do
Go get it!
Go get it!

If you're stuck in the grind or shuttered to the mundane and the shrine seems like it's light years away,
It's your job to not cry, or run awry and make sure you try.
Now look at the ocean,
And keep your head in motion
To realize how much you're able to pull the sword from the stone...

Now look at the ocean,
And keep your head in motion
To realize how much you're able to pull the sword from the stone...

Go push on through the whirlwind, and don’t get bit by the serpent,
But as long as you keep on trudging through the mud
Know that destiny shall let you win
And you’ll get the sword in the stone!

Hail to the Bacon King

A lyric poem about the oh so sacred bacon-y deliciousness. Enjoy!

============================

Let’s all hail the bacon king
The greasy God
A pig’s best feats

Let’s all hail the bacon king
Who lives on Crispy Lane

So where do you find this delicious delicacy?
All around and about in a store near you
Then you cook it and you eat it and savor it too
Now let’s go find some bacon!

So how do you eat this mystical item?
You can skillet, you can bake it, or even put it in lasagna
If you can’t handle the grease then shame on you
Even if you are a health nerd!

So who do you share this tasty treat with?
Bring your family, bring your friends, or even your parent’s dog
It’s so amazing how a small piece of pig has so much power
Let’s tip our hats to Porky!

Let’s all hail the bacon king
The greasy God
A pig’s best feats

Let’s all hail the bacon king
Who lives on Crispy Lane

Are you ready to enjoy this special gift?
There’s feats and treats and sweets to eat
It’s time to enjoy this super epic feast
At the Chicago Baconfest!

I’m sure you’re wondering who the bacon king is
It’s whoever supplies this amazing tastiness
But have no fear, you’ll always find some strips
Even after singing silly songs… about bacon!

Let’s all hail the bacon king
The greasy God
A pig’s best feats

Let’s all hail the bacon king
Who lives on Crispy Lane

Open Mic Nite Performance of "Conquer the Crossroads"

This is the first time I've decided to perform my song lyrics ever (as a lyrical poem) and it's basically about my feelings of reaching a junction in life... performed at the Elevator Sessions open mic at the Justin Pauly Art Studio in River North, Chicago. I recorded this on January 23, 2015 and the link is: http://dbzmaron.blogspot.com/2014/09/conquer-crossroads.html -- Enjoy!!!

Conquer the Crossroads

A "lyrical poem" (aka song lyrics) about being at a junction in your life, figuring out which way to go, and of course powering through it. Enjoy! Last Modified 1-31-15

---

She took a walk one day
Under the beautifully dark midnight bay
In order to say “how meaningful is today?”
While waking up each day to take a chance at life!

With the street on her feet
And the world in broad vision
She’s taking a chance in the windy city,
Where goals and wishes and dreams can come alive
It’s time to move forward right now…

Growing up is an endless battle
Living life through challenge’s lenses
With exploring the skies as a massive place
It’s time to brightly shine right now…

She said that anyone can do anything you immerse your full self into…
Even if some steps are missed you can still make forward progress
But once those crossroads are met in full force
Between a dream and toxic wasteland it’s better to stay on course
Just find out where to drive
And make sure quitting never ever happens (happens, happens)

Conquer the crossroads, conquer the crossroads...

How do you walk along and win the game?
When your current path feels all fogged up
And you try to clean it up and pray that it will shine
Don’t let yourself get eaten by fear
Don’t let yourself get swallowed by haters
Don’t tell yourself you’re less than what you really are
Just continue on forward and conquer those crossroads all day! (all day, all day)

Continuing down the strip of pride
While she’s trying to glide with lots of stride
It’s time to strut your stuff right now!
(down the rainbow road)

You can only succeed by being bold and brave
As she holds her humble heart upon her sleeve
It’s steadily transforming at life’s junction signs
Becoming the beautiful lion she strives to be
Prancing through the master stage
It’s time to level up right now!

But at those junction signs
*screams* What to do? What to do?
What the fuck do I do?*
Just keep moving forward
It’s time to be decisive
And not get trapped in life’s loops
It’s time to start living right now!

Conquer the crossroads (x 4)

And then she asks,

How do you walk along and win the game?
When your current path feels all fogged up
And you try to clean it up and pray that it will shine
Don’t let yourself get eaten by fear
Don’t let yourself get swallowed by haters
Don’t tell yourself you’re less than what you really are
Just continue on forward and conquer those crossroads all day! (all day, all day)

Just continue on forward and conquer those crossroads all day! (all day, all day)

Just never give up and keep on going and conquer those crossroads for life!
