about

This song is inspired by the Joseph Cambell quote, “We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.”
I wrote this song after quiting music school, and leaving my life to travel through East Asia.

lyrics

Wide Open

Strange little story of who to be
don't mean much to me
so I'm breaking down
Am I laughing or crying
living or dying
all at once, here I am.

But out in the wild maze of the city
I'm just another one of those faces
When I look down to show you that I'm really somebody
All I find are empty spaces
But sometime the person you think you are
Just gets in the way of who you wanna be
I had to get rid of the life I had planned
In order for me to see

The Wide Open
The unknown is filling the space
There's nowhere to look
But right back into it's face

Childhood hopes and fears
are all that keep me here
But I'm leaving soon
Leave behind these identities
of memories I so frantically been
Clinging too

This mountain of meaning that I've made myself
Seems to be breaking down
I could jump off but the trouble with flying
is you always end up on the ground
But I know that the strongest way to go
Is to walk right into your fear
And I would have gone oh so long ago

If it weren't for the tears
The soften the hardest of faces
If it weren't for the light
That laughs from the darkest places

Do you think there's a way that I could be free?
If I just kept leaving and leaving
Cause there's nothing left here to comfort me
cause it's

Wide Open
Wide Open.
