The Amoebas Lyrics - This Song's Not About Her

The Amoebas - This Song's Not About Her

Writing songs is easy- all you gotta do is say
"I was walking down the street
Just the other day
And hey what did I see?"
Okay that's pretty bad-- It's lacking in finesse
What did I write about when I was at my best?
A bunch of words all about me
Or ones about that girl
So one here's one thing of which I'm sure
Is that this song's not about her
Should I be an omniscient voice?
Should I speak from the heart?
Should I begin in media res and then flash back to the start?
Or should I tell this tale in linear time?
Is my narration worth your trust or is it a deception?
Should this point be clear as day or full of misdirection?
Should it all be in your mind?
It might not mean anything, hell
It might not be interesting but
At least this song's not about her
If I don't escalate can I have a denouement?
If my thoughts do not translate did I say what I want?
What message did I send to you?
If there is no conflict is there something to resolve?
Has my teenage angst been given some chance to evolve
Into an adult point of view?
My literary acumen
Has really grown a lot since then
So this song's not about her
My lexicon has left you agog
So I'll expedite the epilogue
This song's not about her
For once
This song's not about her
For once
This song's not about her
For once
This song's not about her
