Blood Stains: The Lyrics Of Jaysen True Blood 2000-2011, Book 13: Bloodstains: 2000-2011

By Jaysen True Blood

My Dream expresses my slow disillusion with the so called American dream. The illusion had lifted and I began to realize exactly what lies had been fed to all. Head On Collision continues the realization that something has never been quite right. And Nothing Happened was written in response to the dire Y2K predictions made by the evangelical preachers in 1999 about the end of the world. Prying Eyes and Losin' Your Faith were companion songs to And Nothing Happened as is So What Were You Saying?.

This Is Not The End and Her-Icane were written about my first wife and The New Me was yet another declaration of independence from her. Girls Drive Me Crazy was a piece that dated, at least the first verse, from 1993 which I finished. Wild Streak is a bit of fun inspired by Jethro Tull's Bungle In The Jungle while Get Out Of My Face is all out rebellion against popular religion and the dogma of greed that it has come to represent. 

Sometimes It Just Don't Pay is yet another observation of the conflict between my father and I...this time, a look at religion and its hypocrisy in the home. The Rose is a gentle piano driven lovesong. To Oliver is a concept song…a father's letter to his son.

Jaysen True Blood

Jaysen True Blood was born and raised in the Midwest where he currently resides. His first taste of writing came early in grade school with a class assignment. a few years later, his love for writing would return as he found himself with another class assignment, this time a poetry unit. through junior high, he would write a series of novels, many poems, and begin his long interest in writing song lyrics as well. In high school, he would learn the value of tall tales, myths and other kinds of stories as he continued to build his store of stories. upon graduation, he went for a semester at a university, where he would write two stories, one of which would become a serial online for about six months. Returning home, he worked at just about anything he could find, but never strayed far from his love of the story. After his first marriage, he signed on with Keep It Coming, an e-zine, where he wrote two serials, "Tales From The Renge" and "Breed's Command" (the same characters appear with Fancy Marsh in several subsequent westerns. The serial was taken from a manuscript written for a class assignment while in high school). H also wrote writing and music related articles for the print version of KIC that came out for just three issues. When KIC went under, Jay was once again forced to work at different jobs just to make ends meet. between 2007 and 2010, Jay would release "Seven By Jay: Seven Short Stories", "The Price Of Lust: Book One Of Faces In The Crowd" and "So Here's To Twilight And Other Poems".

My Dream

Lead

Welcome to my dream

Don’t it make you want to scream?

No, it’s not what it seems

And I don’t have any rotten schemes...oh no!

Verse

Welcome to my dream

Alabaster cities still gleam

From a distance

And in a single instance

They seem to stand

But
