about

inspired by hearing mazzy star's hope sandoval singing "5-string serenade" on the Peel show long ago. Also includes a nod and wink to Rollins' lyric "it's so hard to deal, with the ones that aren't real - they perpetually blow my mind" off The End Of Silence album.

lyrics

She wrote a song called "song, it said all I have to say. Now it's all I listen to, I can give my other songs away. It stole my reason to create, to search for that elusive rhyme; she pulled a song out of her head and carved it into mine. She wrote a song called "song", some DJ played it yesterday. I've lived without it for so long, now it'll never go away. She knows exactly how it feels to have to deal with the unreal, and now I know where I belong - she wrote a song called "song"
