Too Much Distance

from False Starts, Decisive Endings by Chris Harris

about

I think I'm beginning to get the hang of those slick1980s production tropes.

lyrics

Time in isolation
unending solitude
Temporary situation
continually renewed
Nothing getting traction
except our deepest fears
No social interaction
in what feels like a million years

Stuck in contemplation
with too much time to think
Permanent stagnation
could drive a man to drink
My mind becomes more abstract
I have become a ghost
I'm lacking human contact
It's what I miss the most

It's all drifting out of range
My life's becoming much too strange

Doubt the existence
of the life I used to lead
There's too much distance
to the things I really need

I've seen too much rejection
Now I'm unable to connect
And it's my introspection
that's the cause I must suspect
Now I can barely understand
the simplest forms of speech
while the life that I had planned
lies forever out of reach

I feel I must apologise
if this is sounding bleak
But even though I'm immunised
I'm dreading the next week
I try to persevere
and move on, from day to day
but the people I hold dear
are much too far away

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
