Lately

by Good Humour

/

about

A song I wrote in the Fall of 2018. it is inspired by the events that unfolded during the battle of Austerlitz in War and Peace, observed from the perspective of Andrei Nikolayevich Bolkonsky as he gazes up at the sky after being wounded in combat. The image of Robert J. Oppenheimer was chosen as the cover art to emphasize the fatalistic existential horror we come face to face with when we recognize our own mortality.

lyrics

Lately I'm missing
Pieces of living life
(Drive, just drive)

Strange is this feeling
The dawn is approaching night
(lights, bright lights)

No one is speaking
The moon sits and listens and I -
I call this Hell

Shadows still lingering
Entreaties from a distant star
Call me home

Will they love me when I'm gone,
and not just when I'm stressed?
This war could be my fate
It's Mary's cross I bear

I wish I could relate to all these people that I see
But it'd never be enough
To mend a broken man like me

To them it's just a fear -
"World peace cannot be!"
I'm tired of all this war
And for once I just want peace

If I could travel the world
From ocean or sea to sea
Would it ever be enough
To bring life back to me?
I think not
