HURRICANE OF YOU
by Anselyn
​
I wander along your ragged shoreline,
There’s a storm in your eyes that you simply can’t hide.
I’ll duck for cover and flee for a time.
Find a safe harbor now to hold me thru the night.
But my love’s not lost,
it only dissipates-
You can turn on a dime, so I hesitate.
I can still sing my song in the heart of your storm
And survive the hurricane of you.
The grey sea is threatening its assault on the land
You’ve blasted me to pieces
With the gale of your hand
I walk alone and wonder how to leave
The spiral of the hurricane of you and me
But my love’s not lost, it only dissipates-
It’s a vacant dream that only I create,
But I can still sing my song in the heart of your storm
And survive the hurricane of you.
When your tempest has ended, do you see me?
Standing in the center of all your debris?
You feign regret with empty apologies
I’ll never drown within the storm of your raging seas
I survived the hurricane of you.
​
Cape Cod sun burning my skin,
Taunting you to jump on in.
Why shouldn’t I feel a little adored?
Race with me baby to the edge of the shore.
Summer lover, my summer’s desire,
Caught your glance across the bonfire
Fly with me baby off the top of the dunes
Landing in the hot sand, falling all over you
Cape Cod dunes, burn my feet
Are you ready, to jump into the wild,
the blue sea to find me? To find you?
Cape Cod dunes, discovering you,
Down, In the mysterious deep with you,
it never feels wrong.
I hear the Cape Cod dunes- calling me
To jump off into the diamond sea-
Summer lover ---- when you race me to the beach I can see in your eyes that you want to dive deeper with me
Fly with me baby off the top of the dunes.
The fall will fade with the thought of you
Take a wild-eyed leap into the sea
The august sun branding you and me
Find your wild with me….
More, more, more more…
I want a little more of you
More, more, more of
Sun. dunes. Sand. You. Sky. Waves.
I want a Little more of you
Before the summer’s through_
Cape Cod dunes. Find your wild,
Find your wild with me.
In the summer blue sea
​
One night I woke up to the moon
It made me think of you
And there was nothing that I could do-
Maybe a past life
Rippled through space and time
replaying its theme for you and me….
​
Lost in you In the middle of a lonely night…..
I can feel your hooks in me
The bitter reality
I can still hear your beautiful melody
Aching for you In the heart of the night
And wanting you is not alright
I was always resisting change-
You tested me – I tested you with shame.
I can see the silver thread that binds us
you’re invading my dreams
Trying to disconnect our connection
I’m lost in the IN BETWEEN…
in between you and me
Lost in you In the middle of a lonely night…..
I can feel your hooks in me
The bitter reality
I can still hear your beautiful melody
Aching for you In the heart of the night
And wanting you is not alright
​
One night I woke up to the moon.
It made me think of you.

Ever feel Triggered?
Just out....listen to the groovy rhythm of the conflicted relationship we've all had that... drove you mad....
Triggered
Maybe I made them crawl through my minefields.....
Triggered is a song about tortured love where you wanted to be with someone badly (and ached for them to love you back) yet they drove you crazy with their indecisiveness about commitment....they could be so loving and hot and then they could change on a dime and be so indifferent to you. Their emotional swings drove you crazy.
But hey, we bring own complexities to any relationship. Our baggage can add more fuel to the fire. The combination of two complex humans, along with our histories, baggage and expectations all adds a strange mix into the pot of "us". Sometimes we are as much to blame with our own approach-avoidance towards intimacy. And yes, I made them crawl through my minefields..... I own that...
Triggered, from your angry eyes
Triggered, I can’t hear more alibis.
And I want to F-- you up
Yet I want to take your love
Conflicted, when you brush me off-
I hate myself for wanting you-you
I’ve got to calm down
If you want my love
Then wade through my subterfuge.
Staying one step ahead.
If you’re got some grit
Try crawling through my minefield
It’s never an easy trip.
Triggered, from your angry eyes
Triggered, I can’t hear more alibis
And I want to F-- you up
Yet I want to take your love
Conflicted, when you brush me off-
I hate myself for wanting you-you
I’ve got to calm down
Triggered, from your angry eyes
Triggered, I can’t hear more alibis
Instrumental
And I want to F-- you up
Yet I want to take your love
I want you and I hate you and
I feel like you could care..
You wild thing…..
Triggered, from your angry eyes
Triggered, I can’t hear more alibis
I’ve got to calm down
