Transparent Zipperfoot
A Beautiful Scene
Transparent Zipperfoot (title meaning at bottom if you want to read TLDR:)
Verse One
This life in focus
I feel it has no meaning, its purpose ever fleeting
And how we get through
This world and aspdcts thereof
only through words and thier love
and now me
Like you I don’t belong here
I’ll live life in a song
Chorus
And I want you know
there’s more than waiting for this
Come stand alone
If you come to me
Wanting everything I’ll
give you dust
Verse Two
Kamakazie Wishes
Their words they have no meaning
They can be so decieving
You’re awake Now, hearts fall
Bridge
And the Blood is still fresh in the air
From the limbs I had to dispatch
To give a little of myself to you
The title to this song comes from a session that my bandmates and I were working towards coming up with a bandname. We were about to start a ska band and went through several ideas. Purple Covered Sippy Cups, Ten Points for Ronald Regan, Transparent Zipperfoot, the band formaly known as the transparentzipperfoot project… and so forth. We ended up canceling the ska idea and just went with post hardcore and the band name of The Vegas Report.
Two years in and the rest of the guys decided I was too condescending to work with. I was kicked out and this song (that we working on) become the vessal of my anger towards them. Basically, if you ever ask me to come back, I would say no.
It has been twenty years, they never asked me to come back, I guess I was the fool.
Love the story behind the title - I've got songs like that too. One of the reasons I am SO MUCH of a one man band is because of bad experiences with bands. Cool song.
