about
Seej 500's second single; a counterpart to And My Heart Breaks infused with Seej's typical emotional expression and his eclectic musical influences. Notice the Western-movie guitar loop is undercut with a hip-hop beat and the haunting sound of an Rkang Dung, while the lyric explores a theme of colloquialisms and their impediment to communication.

lyrics
LYRIC:

Stuck between a rock and a hard place,
Between the Devil and the deep blue sea.
I'm having trouble making myself clear,
My baby just isn't getting me.

It's not when we're as a couple,
Electricity when we meet.
The language-barrier is our hurdle,
She just can't grasp the way I speak.


CHORUS

Idiomatic;
I'm as clear as mud.
She can't make head nor tails,
Of what I say.
Idiomatic;
It's breaking my heart,
Our love has gone beyond the pale.


"Easy as pie" I said. "A piece of cake" I said,
"I won't beat around the bush."
"I'll dial back the way that I express myself."
She held up her hands and said "Enough."

I've forced the point,
Across the Rubicon.
Burning bridges as I go.
The die is cast and there's blood on my hands;
Our relationship unfolds.


CHORUS

Idiomatic;
I'm as clear as mud.
She can't make head nor tails,
Of what I say.
Idiomatic;
It's breaking my heart,
Our love has gone beyond the pale.


The eleventh hour; I've been up all night,
Burning the midnight oil.
Working out how to keep this girl,
But the best laid plans can still be foiled.

Like clockwork she came to get her stuff,
And asked me to leave well enough alone.
I said "I love you. I need you. You mean the world to me."
...Now she's gone.


CHORUS

Idiomatic;
I'm as clear as mud.
She can't make head nor tails,
Of what I say.
Idiomatic;
It's breaking my heart,
Our love has gone beyond the pale.

Idiomatic;
I'm as clear as mud.
She can't make head nor tails,
Of what I say.
Idiomatic;
It's breaking my heart,
Our love has gone beyond the pale.
