Parrot Cage

There was a time when I was young
 and brave and wild
Nothing could ever make my heart
 despair
And I followed the path, dreamed
 all day, dreams of a child
when I realised I could not get
 there

Sometimes it seems we're heading
 for the things we just can't touch
It makes us scream, crawl, baby
 work in vain
And I guess that someone's just
 dragging away what we want so much
keeping us on the ground where
 we're supposed to stay
now I don't want to fade away

But I'm trapped inside a parrot cage
with no way of getting out
The one life that I've got to save
is a treasure yet to be found
and every time I hear the answer
 calling
I gotta watch it falling down

I know that I can find the truth but
 I don't think that I want to
Cause there's things out there I
 won't like at all
Yeah the window of the world just
 gives a tiny little view
of the part in the game and the
 unbreaking wall

 There's not a single day when I
 don't dream that I
could just float away, spread my
 wings and fly

But I'm trapped inside a parrot cage 
with no way of getting out
The one life that I've got to save 
is a treasure yet to be found
When I'm looking for the light then 
in the end I always find it's left
 town

I remember the nights that would
 never end
I remember the days that seemed so
 completely spent
I can't deny I've slapped my face to
 know if I'm still alive

When the time is right to say what
 there's to say
I'll just close my mind and look the
 other way

I was trapped inside a parrot cage
With no way of getting out
The one love that I've got to embrace
Is the treasure finally found

I was trapped inside a parrot cage
With no way of getting out
The one love that I've got to embrace
Is the treasure finally found
Yeah I'll leave this land forever 
And I know I'll never turn round

"Eine ältere Demoversion von einem Lied, das wir spielen werden. Es heißt Parrot Cage. Die Aufnahme ist bei mir zu Hause entstanden und ist alles andere als perfekt, ..." So fand dieses Lied den Weg von Florian via E-Mail zu mir, und es ist das allererste was ich von Blended gehört habe!
Ich konnte mir damals nicht genau vorstellen, was mich erwarten würde, doch ich war mir recht schnell klar darüber, dass ich mit Florian wohl noch einmal über die Aussage "alles andere als perfekt" sprechen müsste...
Natürlich behält ein Song, den man als erstes gehört hat, immer einen besonderen Status - ich finde, das sollte auch so bleiben! Denn es ist ein super-spitzen-klasse Song!
Und wo ich mich gerade so in Richtung Superlativ bewege: noch supererer (!) finde ich, dass ICH das Solo spielen darf! Danke!
