This is pure gibberish and I'm not asking for feedback on if its good or not. I just want to know what you think the meaning of this would be if it were to have one:

You mutter how the grass has turned green

Everybody knows, but they don't know what you mean

They understood, words perfect and still

Thoughts are smashed, looking for thrills

You see them through your crooked eyes

Faces fogged, Lips filled with lies

Show them the truth

Point to the sky

Look to the ground then choke them with their ties

Sometimes they can't see what's in front of your nose

You're sure you've got a finger on it, but it's only your toe

There's not trace, Out of time, Out of place (praise?)

So wander down a familiar road

Search and count the steps til' it's shown

That though your books told you tales of Rome

You're in another land with no direction home

If you read this you're wonderful. Thanks.

Aha. I think I'm going to make this gibberish into a folk song.

  1. That does sound like a folk song! I dont know what it might mean, maybe something about independence and free thinking. Liberation or something.


  2. Its like about this guy in a unfamiliar place, the people are full of lies, when he tries to show them the truth, they don't understand.  It's confusing and I have no idea if I'm even close. :D

  3. sounds to me like a crazy old man in a fantasy world that no one understands, and they see him and hear him but really don't get him..(thats what i get from it, mainly the first part)
