Hurdles

(Howard Aronson)

Throughout life there are many hurdles that get in the way of where you want to go. It's up to you if you want to go through them over them or around them. For me, I was always one to think about escaping everything, and when I'm on top of a mountain I feel like I want to stay there because it helps me escape from everything. I don't want to face the hurdles, I don't want things to be too tough, I've always wanted it to be easy. I realize that that's not possible, and also realized that climbing to the top of a mountain is not easy, and it has its hurdles. Only after contemplating for a long time do I realize this, and think about coming down and reentering the reality.

Wish I was on top of a mountain Standing there all alone Feel the peace and serenity So far from home I thought I could see the ocean I felt like a statue made of stone Feeling like I'm on top of the world Which is something I've never known Don't want to ever come down To level ground Where the pain I feel Is surreal Too many hurdles So few dreams Life down there It's not as good as it seems What goes up Must come down Hopefully for me I'll have both feet on the ground Don't want to ever come down To level ground Where the pain I feel Is all too real

What if there's no God

By Howard Aronson

This is a song about someone who stops believing. There's just so much wrong about the world, and they ponder about God's existence. They're not sure that they really can fully understand all this, but it's a reality. All they want to do is just leave this all behind and move into another phase of life, but they can't. There's no escaping reality. You can leave everything behind, and go somewhere else, but it's like the mail, everything is forwarded to you.

Don't stop healing

By Howard Aronson

This lyric was inspired by the rapper Lil Durk. He said something that stuck with me when I was watching an interview with him on the Ari melber show. He said that you can never be healed. I kind of relate to that, because I always say don't stop healing. I've gone through so much adversity in my life and come out the other side. But I can't stop thinking that I've got everything under control. I have to continue as we heal the wounds that I created throughout the years, and try not to pick them like a scab, so that I will wake them up. In some ways I had to think about this a lot, because there was a time in my life when I believed that I was healed. Another way of putting it is that I'll never be cured from the disease of addiction. I'll always have to take my medicine every day.

No is an answer

By Howard Aronson

This is a weird lyric I'm not even sure the real meaning of it. I just know that for so many years I turned to drugs to find peace which is an oxymoron. I never took the word no for an answer in just about everything I did. I only wanted to hear yes, or thought that I could do anything. I realized today that no is an answer, and some things are just out of my reach. I definitely realize today that drugs was not the answer and I should have said no.

One good thing

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about two people in a relationship where one is so critical of the other that it's absolutely ruining the relationship. The person asks can't you just say one good thing about me? All they have here is the negative, constant criticism, and being put down. It's gotten to the point where the other person can't take it anymore and the relationship is in jeopardy.

Will-O'-the-Wisp

By Melanie Thompson

Happy Halloween. This October has had some very scary days. We have mass shootings. We have war. We have in-fighting amongst the populous. Everyone seems to have a bone to pick. When I was little, I enjoyed Halloween. The costumes. The free candy. The decorations. It was fun. This Halloween not so much. Will-o'-the-Wisp is a deceiver. He is an evil that seems to be everywhere. These lyrics unmask him.
