The World Wasn't Made for Us
Echoes of Outsiders: Embracing Life's Unconventional Anthem
Lyrics
Some would claim
Some individuals might argue
My heroes
People I admire or look up to
Were only only total zeroes
Were considered failures or insignificant
Great outcasts
Exceptional individuals excluded or ignored
That were passed over and over
Repeatedly not chosen or acknowledged
The ones who live the dogged life
Those who persistently live a difficult life
The ones who stray from the easy way
Those who deviate from the conventional path
From Chris Bell to Barrett
Referencing musicians Chris Bell and Syd Barrett
The songs of Peter Perrett
Referring to the music of Peter Perrett
Judee Sill, a poet true
Judee Sill, an authentic poet
And Grant McLennan too
Also acknowledging Grant McLennan
Late at night
During late hours
A search for
Seeking a part of your essence
A fragment of your core
Melancholic songs persist
These sad songs go on
These sorrowful melodies continue
And soon the drink is all but gone
Alcohol consumed nearly to depletion
These songs tattooed upon my brain
These songs embedded deeply in memory
The songs that stray from the easy way
Music that diverges from the conventional
