It’s been a difficult period for me. Separation, and a poor result in custody, seemingly relating to perceptions of my health. Quite frankly, it has been a very disappointing time, one where I must remind myself not to blame people, but rather the insidious lies that currently permeate culture.
Certain ideologies, when embraced like religion, lead to polarization. They seep like poison into the heart, and affect the capacity for love, the comprehension of truth, and render eyes unable to see. The only hope to escape this bitterness that eats away at the soul is God and prayer.
It is certainly a bitter time for many, one where rage and hatred dominate, and where there exists the will to see truth through the lens of solipsism and individualism, warring against laws designed to maintain life and order itself.
Ultimately, people are happy to sacrifice others (literally in many cases) for their own peaceful existence and happiness. Behaviour like this is always deplorable. We must instead seek a more noble existence, expressing a wish to become more holy if possible, bringing true peace to our lives.
To emphasise how far society has diverged off the path, it is possible that some who read the above paragraph will recoil at the word holy. What does this say about society?
So, really I’ve diverged a little.
“You Opened One Eye” is a song about my love for my daughter whilst undergoing a harsh separation. Really, it is a song for her. I want her to one day understand how I felt in being separated from her, so that she can know that I never abandoned her, that my hands were tied, and that I always loved her and wanted her with me.
Perhaps I should have had more control when writing this. I hope that bitterness has not crept into the lyrics too much. Really, the lyrics mainly relate to anguish, and the hole in my heart when I think of how this must affect my daughter.
