Christian Padilla- Kaleidoscopic Views
So I wrote this poem which I later turned into this song.
It’s a very rough version, but I love the sound because I live in a 4 story building…the 4th story is just a little empty hallway they leads to the roof…so sometimes at night I can’t sleep so I go record music. The acoustics up there are amazing. Comments are welcome. Thanks
Here is the poem/lyrics:
Kaleidoscope
In my Kaleidoscopic views
Filled with reds,yellows, and blues
Any which way you look at it, you have something to gain and something to lose
Be careful on which colors you choose
If it all falls apart, who is the one who lost all the screws ?
And all that will be left is a bruise
The light and the dark are to confuse
But what shines bright in the end isn’t a ruse
For the colors you create make you my muse
In my Kaleidoscopic views
water day at the 610, 105 degree wether does silly things to my friends. this is all while jorge and eamon are burning up at coachella
some of my favorite shots of myself taken by a great friend
it was a full moon the night i found out you were hospitalized.
the world around you became a dream as you cast your line into an abyss of solitude
you saw your mother in your sheets and you ate an imaginary banquent in your honor
i remember the way you sounded on the phone,
so weak and distant, barely cabable of saying the words i love you
I am sorry for all the times i ran off into my own world to escape your pain
I am dropping everything just to be able to hold you again and tell you the words that i have had on my mind at any given hour of the day
I love you abba and i pray you will still be able to see the faces of my children

recently i can’t seem to sleep. my days drag on before i have the time to remember how the grass danced in the wind as i walked to school. I want to be done with school but i don’t want to leave all the people who have impacted me and helped carry me through my troubles. I get lost in my ipod and tune out the world as my sleepness nights and endless days blend into each other, when all i really want to do is just lay in the shade of a willow and watch the clouds as they ebb and flow over the sky. This is what i get for not being able to sleep so instead i end up watching a movie and getting cast adrift in my thoughts.

i’m done with maliciously crazy girls, they seriously need to grow the fuck up. i understand that every person has been beaten with the crazy stick, but i just can’t deal with the crazy that beats back and tears into your psyche like some inception shit.
I don’t know but recently this song has come back from the bowels of my high school memories to haunt me. I don’t care how cliche this is but im fucked up, and this song takes me back to a time when i would be high walking through my neighborhood, drifting through a passage in my life i wish i could return to.
