DEEP INSIDE A SHELL

DEEP INSIDE A SHELL With lyrics that do not connect And no shiny surface to reflect Odd choices one doesn’t expect To get the meaning of that song Perhaps you faked it far too long All when living deep inside a shell There’s no entitlement to respect In messages that one can’t detect It must be earned, albeit indirect Can it be time to bang that gong But just maybe I’ve got it wrong All when living deep inside a shell Talent that can be hard to detect More a crouch than standing erect Just the choice of words, in effect Some of which just do not belong Like one taking tricks in Mahjong All when living deep inside a shell
