signs musings...by abby

Abby is a writer and friend to Grieve the Astronaut.  This section of our website is dedicated to her musings about our journey.  She will share her thoughts on each song as well as aspects of this journey that has led us to YOU...enjoy her own personal connection and take on the meaning of our songs and lyrics...

musings #3 - "madness" 

Truth imprisoned in things left unsaid
And fear to keep it mute
Expectations not based in reality
Biased beings claiming impartiality

Cloaked insecurities laying low our happiness
Indifference masking dire emptiness
Unable to unite love with prejudice
Unable to see that in the mirror is the madness

Speak vitality into existence
Change the story with a phrase
Find words that breathe life into others
Free yourself; never settle for the same

Witness the world with eyes unclouded
See your true self as you are without it
Rouse the virtuous cycle, now the hesitance gone
Let your heart love unencumbered into the dawn

MUSING #2 - "SIGNS" 

Deja vu dreams glimpse what’s to come
Veiling reality from perception
Obscuring past and future selves
What’s once hidden, again found in another
Worthiness forfeit to the gravity of expectation

Fail, or follow

Trust is built on words of wisdom
Drink it in or drown it out
Connect to the sonorous vibrations
Or feign ignorance while praying for more
The evidence is prevalent to those whose hearts are open

Belittle, or believe

Fan the flame that ruins or refines you
The choice is yours to build or burn it to the ground
To find meaning in the minutiae
A manifestation of subconscious cues
Confirmation that the path before you is the one you’re meant to be on

Falter, or forward

MUSING #1 - "hope" (Muse behind the show)

Hope is to ignite a spark within, remind us of things forgotten; 
of lessons yet to be learned; 
of love lost and found in places unforeseen; 
of the wonder within each of us; 
of who we were, are, and will become; 
of the universal rhythm of life that beats within all of us 
and of possibilities that reside in an endless tomorrow.

who is abby?

Abby is a dear friend who has the gift of words and is a poet in her own right.  As the SIGNS journey began, she was right there at every step of the story, songs, music and overall development of the show.  It sparked her gift of writing and we as a band have been touched by her words and musings on what this show means to her.   We felt that it would be important to have another artists' perspective on our message.

Please welcome Abby to the Grieve the Astronaut family!
