I wrote this song playing around on my Grandpa&#8217;s Gibson Guitar.  It was the only time I had ever really spent with him.  My dad&#8217;s dad wasn&#8217;t really a big part of our family.  Mostly because he left his kids\/wife.<\/p>\n<p>But I digress &#8230; I was in a band with Jay Jenkins, Adam Kenny, Brian Guarding, and Jim Hynds, played this song for Jay, and Adam several times, they didn&#8217;t like it didn&#8217;t want to play it &#8230; so I recorded it a couple years later.  Sounded pretty good, I&#8217;m proud of it.  It&#8217;s one of the first songs I&#8217;ve written.<\/p>\n<p>I had no children at the time, looking back it jumps back and forth a lot, and makes very little sense &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>For the record the whole &#8220;my son&#8221; part isn&#8217;t really referring to my son, it&#8217;s referring to me, and the whole look into my eyes part is talking to a &#8220;lover&#8221; of sorts.<\/p>\n<p>I personally don&#8217;t recommend anyone getting involved in astral projection.  I believe I&#8217;ve had several dreams of a dark figure standing over my bed as a result of my experience with astral projection.<\/p>\n<p>There are doors in your mind, that once you open them, you can&#8217;t close them.<\/p>\n<h4>Lyrics<\/h4>\n<p>Leave your body,<br \/>\nLeave your mind<br \/>\nLeave yourbody<br \/>\nOf your mind<\/p>\n<p>I leave my body,<br \/>\nThrough the third eye.<br \/>\nIf the silver cord severed<br \/>\nI will surely die.<\/p>\n<p>Holding true to the things I have learned<br \/>\nJust like the wise man my powered is earned<br \/>\nMy son please listen to what I say<br \/>\nMy son please listen to what I say<\/p>\n<p>Concentrating until I your face<br \/>\nClearly<br \/>\nI want you so bad I need you so much<br \/>\nTo be near me<br \/>\nSo look into my eyes, and finally realize<br \/>\nWe are one.<\/p>\n<p>Constantly craving a love a love deeper than flesh<br \/>\nOur souls become one, we become one flesh<\/p>\n<p>Look into my eyes, and finally realize<br \/>\nWe are one.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty much repeats after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","category-rock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
