Song024_Confusion is Contagious

This song, written this morning, is fairly simple. There are two main guitar parts using my a few of my favorite distortion settings (very gritty, big and full while retaining some clarity in the individual notes). The structure of this song builds to a peak then comes back down...very little repetition. I chose a dirty synth to fill in the drum-less section, then a section of soft strings enter when it breaks into the triumphant (yet still melancholy) section in the middle. The lyrics of this song fit the title (Song024_Confusion is Contagious), and the title fits the album concept (Mazes).

LYRICS: "You say it doesn't matter, though you want to believe it. I know you think there's something keeping earth from spinning deeper into space. It's hard to guess when all your leaders follow fading trends. Confusion is contagious and deep pain equalizes humans. You blame science for your struggles and emotional earthquakes. But the floor is stable, it's just you and I that are shaking."

-Matthew
