about

This song was written about the re-realization that our purpose in life and what's expected from us in the western world are not always the same thing.

lyrics

This must be some kind of mystery
Something from late night TV
On channels I shouldn’t be watching since
I’m susceptible to bad dreams
Some psychological symbol
Somehow they're letting me know
There’s a difference between what they want me to do
and what I was put here for.

I believe I have become a conduit
For things that I cannot explain
The path of least resistance is through my fingertips
By way of my brain
I can only show you what it sounds like
Play you the notes and the chords
There’s a difference between what they want me to do
and what I was put here for.


A couple of magnets and a half-dozen strings
fastened to a hardwood board
There’s a difference between what they want me to do
and what I was put here for.
There’s a difference between what they want me to do and what I was

What I was put here for.
