Taking It Back; Eric Thompson

​Taking It Back (The Power) Artist: Eric Thompson Written by: Trent Label/Channel: CSTONESOUNDS 111 ​Sitting in a dead-silent room at a driving 100 BPM, Eric Thompson shatters the state of limbo. Driven by sorrowful electronic harmonica, biting Les Paul jabs, and a progressive dual-guitar ascent, this is pure 80s rock defiance. ​A heavy, hard-hitting anthem for anyone breaking the lock, reclaiming their timeline, and walking out of the dark into the blinding sunlight. ​Find the key. Take back the power. #Eric Thompson #creativemusic #CSTONESOUNDS111 #NewMusic #Taking It Back #80s Rock #Break up song Lrycs; [Verse 1] Maybe I shouldn't have ever told you! Maybe I should have, kept it to myself.. Then, I would not have given you power!.. You couldn't have, put me on THIS SHELF!-.. [Verse 2] Sitting here in this boring room. Waiting,, for your--return!..!..!... I could have, been out there having fun!.. I could have been, WATCHING THE FIRE BURN!!... [Pre-Chorus, Why do I, stay here waiting!?-.. For you to throw me, a bone of your time! My existence, should belong to me!..!! I need to take CONTROL of what's MINE!!... [Chorus, double-time, dramatic lead in] Leaving me here, in a state of limbo.. You can visit my room now and then! If I could take back, what I gave to you,, If I had it, to do ALL OVER AGAIN!!.. I wouldn't give you the power,, I wouldn't, let you have the control! There would be a different outcome,, It wouldn't be me left, OUT, in the COLD!! The sunlight will shine, on my face again,, I've been in the dark, here for too LONG! YOU thought that I would stay here, WAITING! Now, I found the key and you were wrong!!.. [Bridge, heavy, steady, mid bass drums 100bpm, stratacaster and Telecaster, trading licks, in a progressive assent to a high plateau, melodic, electronic harmonica, backing] I TURNED THE LOCK,, TOOK THE BREATH, THAT I GAVE-,TO YOU! TOOK BACK THE POWER,, YOU HAD,, THAT, I NEVVER KNEWW!!... [Interlude, soaring, internal battle, between stratacaster and Gibson Les Paul, short burst on electronic harmonica, heavy, deep bass drums, finish with loud shimmering cymbals] [Verse 3] I made the mistake,, Of telling you I, couldn't breathe WITHOUT YOU! I proved to myself,, THAT - WASN'T - TRUE!! YOU TOOK it for GRANTED,, I'D ALWAYS BE THERE!! But, I got tired of WAITING! For YOU to show me, YOU EVEN CARED!!... [Chorus] Leaving me here, in a state of limbo.. You can visit my room now and then! If I could take back, what I gave to you,, If I had it, to do ALL OVER AGAIN!!.. I wouldn't give you the power,, I wouldn't, let you have the CONTROL!!! There would be a different outcome,, It wouldn't be me left,, OUT in the COLD!! The sunlight will shine, on my face again,, I've been in the dark, here for too LONG! YOU thought that I would stay here, WAITING! Now, I found the key-- AND YOU WERE WRONG!!..!..!!... (I FOUND THE KEY,, NOW I'M GONE!) I'M TAKING BACK THE POWER!! (Now I'm Gone!.....) Now I'm Gone.
