Slipping away

(Howard Aronson)

This lyric is about the backslide into addiction, knowing it, being sick and tired of it, and wanting to do something about it. It's about wanting to find some strength so I don't continue to fall. If anybody's a hiker, they'll know that hiking in the fall, after most of the leaves have fallen is very difficult when you're descending a Mountain. There's also the shadows that make it tough to see the rock that might be exposed or even sometimes how wet the leaves are. Because there's not as much light in the woods my shadows look longer, and cover up more ground. It's snowing all of this information, and having the experience of falling, that I have to change some of the things that I do when I hike and also some of the things that I do in life to keep me from slipping and falling. The more my life keeps slipping away, the harder it is to keep getting back up.

The Autumn leaves
Have fallen to the ground
Making it harder
For me to get down

The lack of light
Makes my shadow longer
I need some help
To make me stronger

It's easy to fall
When the leaves are wet
I'm so tired of slipping
Yeah.... I'm all set

Slipping away
Slipping away
Got to stop this decline
Cuz my life is slipping away

Slipping away
Slipping away
I'm watching it all
Slip way (slipping away)

Seems like I always
Pick the steep way down
It's like being stuck
On A never-ending merry-go-round

Over and over
My head lies to me
My shadow And lack of light 
make it harder to see

Slipping away
Slipping away
Got to stop this decline
Cuz my life is slipping away

It's easy to fall
When the leaves are wet
I'm so tired of slipping
Yeah.... I'm all set

Slipping away
Slipping away
I'm watching it all
Slip way (slipping away)

Slipping away
Slipping away
I'm watching it all
Slip way (slipping away)

Is it too late
Is it too late
Is it too late
Is it too late
Cuz I'm slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

The Sun

By Howard Aronson

The song is about war despair no light at the end of the tunnel. And it's all because the sycophants, the people who look down on us for their own gain, as they rule the world. The sky is dark there is no sun there is no warmth there is no hope. The sky is just basically a roof that keeps out the light and if I ever see the light again it will be short-term. They will always be sycophants that come along and take control. It's been like that since the start of time. This lyric is very abstract, and there's a lot of ways you can interpret it. Even I'm having a tough time explaining why I wrote it and what it all means.

Card

By Howard Aronson

I dated a girl long time ago who is not in the cards if you can believe that. She wasn't that sentimental. And I think it's ironic that me being a writer I used to like to buy her cards because I felt the words inside with different than things that I could write in a sense. She did like flowers though, what girl doesn't. So I would buy a card from time to time and she would wait to open them or sometimes she would just open them and put them on the counter but she never put him in a place that I could see it like on a mantle or something like that. I found it strange for such a loving kind girl. We were both in our 30s, and very much in love but for some reason she thought that cards were just too much. Maybe I gave her too many. It's not to say that I didn't ever write songs about her, or lyrics about her if you will, or palms here and there. People say I should have gotten a job at hallmark, but that's not the way I write. What I write is very obscure, abstract at times, in the moment, and usually specific to a situation, thing, or person. It's also about subjects.

Mother oh Mother

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about my mother obviously, and her true love for me. I'm her only son and the oldest of two, as I have a younger sister. No matter what I've done, but gone through she's always been there to lend a hand, to pick me up when I was down, and just to show me the love that a mother shows her child. I just had lunch with her the other day, and sat and talked with her for over 2 hours. That's the first time in a long time that I've been able to sit down and have a comfortable conversation with her, because of my past, and my guilt. She doesn't have any resentments toward me or have any notions of me being a troubled, mixed up, bad guy. She sees me as successful, loving, kind, karen, and extremely empathetic and responsive to others needs. I gave my father credit for the creativity, as he was highly talented as a painter, writer, photographer, and a top advertising executive. But I have to give my mother all the credit for me being the loving person that I am. I would lend a hand to anybody, and I try not to judge anyone. I know my mother never judged me.

Second time around

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a relationship that obviously broke up and then had a second time around. It should have never even had a first time around. Again, another toxic oriented lyric, seems like I have a lot of those, but some of them are real experiences and others are just relationships that are made up. But I feel that more relationships end up like this then do they end up in true love and Bliss. There's so many lies in relationships so much deceit in relationships and yet it's all under the guys of the words I love you. Get it all really bullshit, and even though you know that it's bullshit you accept it. Then you break up, and for some reason you try it again. The old saying goes like this, zebras never lose their stripes, leopards never change their spots. In this instance those two things are true.

The Stallion

By Edward McBride

This song is an analogy comparing a wild stallion with young males bursting with testosterone. Told through the eyes of one woman who will not succumb to the temptation or pressure.
