Echoes of Liberation

(Edward McBride)

The verses portray a sense of disappointment and conflict which includes emotional manipulation and physical violence. The chorus emphasizes the importance of not hurting the one you love, caring for them, and resolving conflicts peacefully. Abusive relationships are serious and require careful handling to ensure the well-being and safety of everyone involved

In the shade of love's inviting glow 
My father gave his nod and whispered “Go” 
To marry you, the one I’m meant to be with 
But soon found myself drowning in despair, adrift 

Shocked and distraught, we conversed 
I declared my threat, my feelings immersed 
Change or I leave, my ultimatum’s plea 
Met with violence, a storm within me 

Pre-Chorus 
Anger masked in suppressed moods 
A toxic dance, in these love interludes 
Physical and mental scars, the awful truth 
Abuse in disguise, a painful sleuth 

Chorus 
Love shouldn’t wield a hurtful shove 
Protection and care, the epitome of love 
Agree, disagree, let the past disband 
Love the one you’re with, hand in hand 

The whispers of promises lost in the fray 
I sought solace but found dismay 
Each day a battle, within my own home 
Struggling in silence, feeling so alone 

Courage summoned, I took my stand 
No longer trapped by his tightening hand 
In the echoes of freedom, I found my voice 
Choosing my path, making my choice 

Pre-Chorus 
Hurts buried deep; fears intertwined 
The scars are invisible, etched in the mind 
Yearning for love, a gentle caress 
Instead, a reality of turmoil and distress 

Chorus 
Love shouldn't wield a hurtful shove 
Protection and care, the epitome of love 
Agree, disagree, let the past disband 
Love the one you’re with, hand in hand 

The mood the anger 
Were all suppressed 
It was physical and mental 
It’s all abuse 

Chorus 
Do not hurt the one that you love 
Protect and care for her 
Agree, disagree, move on 
Love the one you're with 

I was shocked, we talked 
I threatened to leave 
If he did not change 
I would leave him 

He became so violent 
I could not stay silent 
I do not open his mail 
As he serves time in the County jail

How time slips away

By Edward McBride

These lyrics paint a picture of opulence and extravagance but also hint at a certain shallowness or emptiness in the pursuit of those living such a life. There are references to the exploitation of young women. There is a case here for the generation or societal trend of living in the moment without any thought for the future.

Howling in the Shadows of War

By Edward McBride

This is about the deep and painful experience of serving in the military and the lasting impact it has on one's life. The emotional and psychological toll that war takes on individuals is profound and often difficult to express. The internal conflict and struggles of veterans. The haunting memories of war, the moral dilemmas, and the unseen scars of battle are palpable in the lyrics. The weight of having to make life-and-death decisions in combat and the trauma resulting from those experiences are portrayed vividly here. The chorus speaks volumes about the message I am trying to convey--the devastating impact of war. The music is a source of solace and a coping mechanism. The guitar and singing serve as a form of therapy.

I can't cry

By Howard Aronson

This is a fictional lyric about having a partner who stands by your side no matter what. Basically they save your life. But the sadness of what I have done, still takes over Me, and it's hard to smile. It's so much easier to cry, and stay in that sadness. But I have to learn to appreciate and be grateful for the people in my life who never left me, never wavered, and always believed in me. Today it brings a smile to my face but I couldn't let them see me cry.
