Danny, give me a light !

This is one of the songs i wrote while sitting @ the pedestal at STYX ( a rock pub in Bangalore). This song Ive written comes from personal experiences of the things that i have seen and felt. I have taken the liberty to use instances of many lives to jot down something. I dont know if I have done complete justice to them.


Theme: A person afflicted with pain due to a long time under the influence of alcohol and drugs. His love left him to die, parent's couldn't cure him and the world cudn't care less. He has been confined to his room for the last 6 years with narcotics which have eaten him with time. He collects the last few drops of hope to get back to his feet. He asks Danny for a light ; this time not to light a cig but to see beyond the dark he has been living in.

Danny, give me a light!

Danny, give me a light
So I can write a letter to her
And tell her I know she's alone
But she got nuthin to fear

Danny, give me a light
So I can get out of this gloom
Face my life again, like a man
Get up to my fate, or face my doom

Chorus:
I have changed but i never knew
I was sleeping while the time flew
So little done, so much to do
Now I ask myself, "Hey, where to?"

Danny, please gimme a light
Coz its dark in here
And I'm scared not of the darkness
But I fear my own fear

Danny, won't you gimme a light now
So I can wash away in smoke
My past not mine, and start again
The way my life was meant to be

Chorus:
I have changed but i never knew
I was sleeping while the time flew
So little done, so much to do
Now I ask myself, "Hey, where to?"

*We play heavy metal.

After the bullet points, let it come straight from the gut. Five passionate madmen who give a damn about the pseudo rockers of bangalore are here to make a few monsters. We make metal through grit, sweat and blood, and ingrain it with power beads to give a mind-thrashing treat to this rock-starved nation. Shalom!!
