Story behind the song
What motivated me to write this song? Just a little attractive piano riff I happened to stumble on. Often these things just happen accidentally. Then I think of a line, like "I can't read the writing on the wall", and when that strikes me, the rest more or less just falls into place. Although in this case I did use a line I heard on TV, which I thought was great: "Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines".
Lyrics
I can?t read the writing on the wall Even though I am slowly growing older Doesn?t mean I?m also getting better I just can?t read at all A broken promise I keep forgetting That you denied me What I took for granted Standing here with nothing left to say Gazing through the cobwebs on the window Hoping for a liberating answer I don?t know you at all Not at all There was a time when I stood tall and proud, a time when I Could state my case without a doubt and I When I knew who I was and where I was going to Now those illusions have left me small and broken But it doesn?t faze me And it doesn?t matter Conviction is a luxury for those Who waste their time just standing on the sidelines Who theorize about Utopian guidelines Who live by books and rules Just books and rules There as a time when I stood tall and proud a time when I Could state my case without a doubt and I I knew who I was and where I was going to Now those illusions have left me small and broken But it doesn?t faze me It doesn?t matter I can?t read the writing on the wall Even though I am slowly growing older Doesn?t mean I?m also getting better I just can?t read at all I can?t read
