I Want to Know



Walking on sunlight, hands in the air
Whispering mysteries to someone that cares
Galloping gladness, stuck in an age
Handing out roses through bars in a cage

I want to know

Cheerily screaming that giving is free
Lessons I'm learning from studying trees
The maid of honor is bearing a ring
I only go as far as you fling

I want to know
I want to know

Where is the starlight that cuts through the ground
And pulls me to pieces all without sound?
And who is this person I meet in my mind
And sees all these pictures so misaligned?

I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know

Songfacts: The acoustic guitar was tuned to open G and a capo on II. It's a dreamlike song without specific meaning. I recorded this as a slow buildup adding things as the song progressed. The electric guitar is played forwards but I individually reversed the notes, making an almost rudra veena-like sound.
