Nothing On My Mind
Skirmish: Copy and Paste (@jokinglyevil)
Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #psychological I had an empty system scrap, so I had no topic, or to be more precise, that gave me the title “Nothing On My Mind.” Playing around with that, I quickly arrived at this demonstration of the way arguments bubble up out of nowhere — a pattern of which I promise I am completely innocent! It was a very quick write because I was already very late to the skirmish.
Lyrics
What do you mean what are you thinking My mind’s a brand new page The movie isn’t playing The band’s not on the stage
I’ve got nothing on my mind Or that was recently a fact But now I wonder why You should ask
You might just be being silly To turn the spotlight back on me Or is it that you’re feeling guilty Is there something I should see
I’ve got nothing on my mind Or that was recently a fact But now I wonder why You should ask
My mind is filled with speculation Why this question at this time Why the sudden redirection Is it to cover up a crime
I’ve got nothing on my mind Or that was recently a fact But now I wonder why You should ask

I like these lines - The movie isn’t playing The band’s not on the stage - and the way you went from a seemingly relaxed mind to a suspicious one. Funny how the "no topic" took you to producing a whole song. Good one!

This is a wry twist on self-reflection. I like a narrator being questioned and then questioning both themself AND the questioner. Great idea and execution!
