Gone

from Obsolescence by John Ludi

about

The lyrical content of this tune could be interpreted two ways: internally or externally (or, in my case, both). There are things of this earth that bring joy and make our lives fuller, richer. However, whether through the impending collapse of the various systems that support civilization (and life itself) or through our own personal demise, all of it can be taken away...and inevitably will, one way or the other. I wrote a song about this conundrum.

lyrics

The lidless eye of the sun
feeds the greening day
as vulture fly and falcons cry
for their daily prey.
Dry leaves dance upon the ground
restless in the wind
patterns shift in sacredness
unconscious of sin.

All this ebb and flow
the scented breeze that blows
could all disappear tomorrow.

The purring of the phone.
The welcome voice of a friend.
The music and the lights.
This web on which we depend.

All the stop and go
All the lines and roads
could all disappear tomorrow.

I will miss you, you will be gone...forever.

The musky smell of skin
The rapturous caress
The heat and the release
The ecstasy and stress.

All the to and fro
The way the passions grow
could all disappear tomorrow.
