The twins, a devil on your shoulder, reconciling two sides of oneself and the internal struggles we face, dealing with the conflicting voices in our head. Battling self-doubt and anxiety, striving to drive the demons away and find some peace, if only fleeting. It is the eternal inner dance we face every day.
Shoutout to Steve Kirk, Seattle composer, producer, and guitarist, who lent his lead guitar voice to the song. Interweaving lines and melodies, he sprinkles just the right touch of magic dust throughout to make it a unique and beautiful track for the album.
lyrics
Voice in my head says,
"Hey, you're doing it wrong
Just stop - we'll never get along."
Voice in my head says,
"Those dreams that you're working toward
Aren't worth fighting for anymore."
No, I need to find my own way
Oh, I can't keep living this way
Can't face me today
I gotta get away
Get away right now
I gotta get a break away from myself
Never gonna stay
Fly away somehow
I'm gonna leave no trace, escape from this hell
We fight, me and my Gemini
Telling myself,
"Hold on - what's happening here?
I should wait and make sure my mind is clear."
Telling myself,
"It's not as bad as it seems
I'm in charge, commander of all my dreams."
Hey, I need to find my own way
Oh, I can't keep living this way
Gonna beat self-doubt today
I gotta get away
Get away right now
I gotta get a break away from myself
Never gonna stay
Fly away somehow
I'm gonna leave no trace, escape from this hell
Goodbye, me and my Gemini
Some days, I just can't think straight
Some way, I need to change myself today
Voice in my head pleads,
"Don't abandon me now
I can change, lift us if you'll allow."
Voice in my head concedes,
"I really should just step back
You know we're pretty good as a team."
Yeah, we're gonna be okay
Oh, such a strange ballet
Dance my days away
Not gonna fly away
Want to be here now
Living in this state of grace, forgive myself
Guess I'm gonna stay
Stay complete somehow
It’s time to find a place where he and me can dwell
Unite me and my Gemini
