War Game
Skirmish: Contradiction (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
#acousticrock #acousticonetake
I knew I could do something on a contradiction because my Song Sprint album title is “Prison Hotel,” which is a contradiction already. I liked the idea of the Internet experience as a “war game,” another contradiction . . . so there we are.
Lyrics
Prison hotel on the hill Free to go but I don’t think we will It’s a heavy heavy door There’s a picture and I just saw it move I’m on a chart and I have something to prove It’s a heavy heavy door Clearing the screen is the goal Take me down the rabbit hole

There is a secret door To where we were before It’s a heavy heavy door The world but in 3-D It’s the real reality It’s a heavy heavy door Where are you and how do you feel Did you give up your place on the wheel

Some good ideas and concepts here and, of course, a lot of contradictions. Good take on the prompt
I like the album title and the way you’ve used it here. Loving the pause in “it’s a heavy heavy door.” Very nice!
Very visual, poignant song. A cool take on the prompt. Very original concept and delivery.
