Arda & the Stolen Moon

Lyrics

Monkeys

Verse 1
I've been having this recurring dream
It's been going on for years
Sometimes I don't see it for days, for weeks
Then out of nowhere up it creeps
I'm in this big blue ocean
Surrounded by nothing but water
Great big waves crashing down on me
Dragging me deeper and deeper

I looked it up online it said
You're feeling overwhelmed
Even saw a psychiatrist
Tried to hypnotize it out of my brain
Just when things were looking better
I woke up in a sweat
The tsunami was bigger than ever
A serious threat ahead

Pre-chorus
But last night it was different
Suddenly a monkey appeared
Floating on a capsized fishing boat
With a silly face and eyes full of hope
He summersaulted three times up in the air
Ready for action looking nothing but scared
He was wearing a T-shirt saying ''Give in to the Tide
See you on the other side"

Chorus
Could this be a sign?
That I think too much
Need to loosen up
Could this be a sign?
That I worry too much
Need to lighten up
Could this be a sign?
That a gotta breathe
Take each day as it comes
Could this be a sign?
Gotta brighten up...

Instrumental part

Verse 2
Down on the first floor from where I live
I can hear this couple scream
Breaking promises, breaking things
The remnants of their broken dreams
The very last word is always his
Yes he always has his way, he always wins
In anger they go to bed to sleep
And I swear I hear their young girl weep

Pre-chorus
One day I saw him at the entrance
He looked at me with menace
I saw the rabies in his eyes
And a monkey resting on his back
The smile I cracked was cold and forced
My mind was filled with terrible thoughts
He was wearing a T-shirt saying ''Love ain’t enough”
As he picked up the box with his stuff

Chorus 2
Could this be a sign?
That we fight too much
Need to talk it out
Could this be a sign?
That our egos are high
Need to bring it down
Could this be a sign?
That we gotta breathe
Before we vent it out
Could this be a sign?
Gotta brighten up...
