Disease

It's always difficult to open
Because it's so mind blowing
Yet so broken

Single file, I'm on a mission
There's no war outside our heads
So why are we losing?

Reality kicks in too late
We had it all for 3 months
Now that was great

A lesson learnt, the damage done
Now it's time to start
Blaming everyone

So, baby baby baby baby please
Once you were a princess
Now you're a disease
So, take your filthy mouth
And head back to the east
Go make your dollar bills
By giving someone treats

6 months have passed since
I heard your cry
You must be down in ashes
Ready to just die

So, now I'm thinking about you
I've been to hell and back
With what you put me through

So, baby baby baby baby please
Once you were a princess
Now you're a disease
So, take your filthy mouth
And head back to the east
Go make your dollar bills
By giving someone treats

This song surely has a story to it, like every other song, but the funny thing is, if you would ask me or Travis how we wrote this, the simple answer would be :"We don't know!". This just happened. we sat in our band room one day and it just happened. We wrote this song out of miles and miles of endless emotion about girls. Shocker...... :)

It took us about 15 minutes to write and we didn't care about how it sounds or what anyone thinks about it, we just cared about writing it! This song still needs to be performed live, seeing that jamming it to friends doesn't really count as a live performance. We'll work it into our line for next weekend's gig.

Be sure to check out the Luna Atra Band Profile to listen to this song and some others as well.

Time passing by


Sitting, staring at the clock
That's ticking every second gone, lost

Time heals everything
Are words only comforting
It's only time passing by
In my mind

Thinking of memories that ran away
Today becomes a memory of yesterday

Time heals everything
Are words only comforting
It's only time passing by
In my mind

Insights:

This song was originally written by a good friend of mine, who gave it to me and I made some adjustments to it. The music on the other hand, is all my fault;)

This song is pretty straight forward, talking about time, which becomes a relevant matter, seeing that it's only time that passes by when you actually think about it and not doing anything with it.

At the end of the day, it would only be time that passes by in your head and not something that is believed to be the great healer of a broken heart.

Thus, "time heals everything are words only comforting".

Be sure to check out our Facebook page should you want to listen to the song. We uploaded two brand new songs yesterday as well, be  sure to check them out!!

This is me saying rock on!!
