The Friar

Choosing Identities: A Melodic Dilemma

Lyrics

What to do when

Contemplating actions in a situation

When the well of ideas has run dry

Experiencing a lack of creative ideas

Must I be that generic guy

Concern about conforming to a generic persona

Sample characters is the ultimate shame

Using typical or clichéd characters in creations

I have only myself to blame

Taking responsibility for creative shortcomings


Maybe I'll be the friar who brewed himself to death

Considering the fate of a friar who brewed himself to death as a metaphor for artistic sacrifice

Or the warlock who loves his meth

Musing about being a warlock with a substance abuse issue

Maybe I'll be the narcoleptic knight

Contemplating being a knight with a sleep disorder

Or the megarexic sprite

Considering being a sprite with body image issues

Someone please help me choose right

Seeking assistance in choosing the right creative path


So many tasks so little time

Feeling overwhelmed by numerous responsibilities

Should I be a jester or a mime

Considering the choice between being a jester or a mime

What have I done

Reflecting on past decisions with a sense of regret or consequence

Days pass

The passage of time

And my friends are soon here

Awareness of friends approaching

Brace yourself the night is near

Anticipation for an upcoming night and its challenges


Night is near

Reiteration of the approaching night

The night is near

Emphasis on the imminence of night


Maybe I'll be the friar who brewed himself to death

Revisiting the idea of sacrificing oneself creatively as a friar

Or the warlock who loves his meth

Revisiting the notion of a warlock with substance dependence

Maybe I'll be the narcoleptic knight

Revisiting the idea of a knight with a sleep disorder

Or the megarexic sprite

Revisiting the notion of a sprite with body image issues

Someone please help me choose right

Seeking external guidance in making a creative decision
