So this is something I wrote that I think would work for my act John Doe. It's for the low-energy, haunting vibe song type, and makes use of some weird metaphors, supernatural themes, and strange wordplay. It's not really an example per say, I just wanted to write something for fun. Would love to get some feedback
Blue Bird
[Verse 1]
And this is where it ends: I am spirited away
Ever wonder how it feels to vanish without a trace?
A flickering jay leads me off the forest path
Before I can see I am in the blue bird's cage
[Prechorus]
Dazzling my eyes until my vision starts to swim
Blowing thoughts away like dandelions in the wind
[Chorus]
Somersaulting in the skies
Breaking from this cold Earth
"Hey:
Higher, blue bird"
Soaring through the stratosphere
Crossing to the new world
"Hey:
Higher, blue bird"
[Spoken]
"...My head is starting to feel just like cottontrails."
[Verse 2]
Ever wondered how it feels when your mind is erased?
My body's like soap bubbles, all flittering shades
Before it all dissolves and quickly dissipates
[Prechorus]
Capturing my wrist, a blue balloon entangles me
Silently I'm whisked above the forest canopy
[Chorus]
Somersaulting in the skies
Breaking from this cold Earth
"Hey:
Higher, blue bird"
Soaring through the stratosphere
Crossing to the new world
"Hey:
Higher, blue bird"
[Bridge]
Time is running thin
Lights beckon, spectra kiss my skin
Patience wearing short
Just make me disappear, I'm yours
Chorus]
Somersaulting in the skies
Breaking from this cold Earth
"Hey:
Higher, blue bird"
Gliding through the galaxy
Fleeing from this universe
"Hey:
Higher, blue bird"
That was what was preventing me from doing yours lol
