Beneath the Ninth

By humblelyricist

‘Beneath the Ninth’

Verse 1:
Can I find my way to that cloud
How ’bout that bit I need.
All I have with me in my hands
May just not guide me on.

Verse 2:
Echoes I have heard all the while
Loud and clear they told me
Everything that one takes with him
On his road to the ninth.

Verse 3:
Numbers I’ve made them all my life
Racing fast as I could.
Over my brothers I flew high
Castles mine were so tall.

Verse 4:
Knowing that one thing that I lost
Eleven years back you left
Rowing with such force, left me stunned
Still those ripples move me

Chorus:
I am just one beneath the ninth,
All I need is one last gasp.
I am just one beneath the ninth,
Come back and take me there.

I am just one beneath the ninth,
All I need is one last gasp.
I am just one beneath the ninth,
Come back and take me there.

Verse 5:
Numbers I’ve made them all my life
Racing fast as I could.
Over my brothers I flew high
Castles mine were so tall.

Verse 6:
Knowing that one thing that I lost
Eleven years back you left
Rowing with such force, left me stunned
Still those ripples move me

Chorus:
I am just one beneath the ninth,
All I need is one last gasp.
I am just one beneath the ninth,
Come back and take me there.

I am just one beneath the ninth,
All I need is one last gasp.
I am just one beneath the ninth,
Come back and take me there.

The best part about these lyrics is this. If you read the first letter of each of the first 16 lines, it reads ‘Chameleon Rockers’. ‘Chameleon’ is the name of the band I play for. Obviously I had to put some effort to get that pattern in, but it doesn’t look forced, does it? Keeping the pattern aside, did you get the thought in the song?

Looking forward for your comments.

    Great going, dude!! :) Didn’t know you had a talent for lyrics! :)

    Hehe. Thanks, Fatima. I still don’t if it can be termed ‘talent’. Hehe.

    I think One Last Gasp is a better. Beneath the ninth is too pretentious and uncatchy.
    Yeah, the lyrics have a tangible singability!

  4. humblelyricist Says:

    ‘One Last Gasp’ Hmm.. That phrase is a little difficult to pronounce.. The chorus of the song is better if it is easily singable, no? :)
    Anyway, we should be recording the song in a while. Will make you listen. Hopefully your opinion will change after that :)

    Fhat the wuck is ‘tangible singability’, da? :)
