Of Self

by Zane Coppard

/
1.
I’m not sober but confronted with the reality of my own inhibitions Where am I in this world? I drag my feet along the side And forget oh who I am All that I know to be true Is I’m lost, I’m lost I take a walk on the moon And fall asleep under a rock In my awakedness I, I Drag my feet along the sand And forget oh who I am All that I know for sure is I’m lost Is I’m lost in this universe All that I know for sure is I’m lost, lost We find our way I’m not afraid Our love is spiritual This touch glistening Life’s squeeze was a gentle caress I am nurtured Forgot my alienation Don’t miss my innocence When I cease to exist I’ll find your hand to grasp I’m beginning to make sense of where I am in this universe
2.
Yell it out to me I want to let you in But I can’t In all this silence You made your own choice Voice in a maze Calling from deceptive wings Fallen angels pluck our strings I’ll forget my name Become shapeless Forgetting which step Brought me to this door Your movement was A predetermined decision You made your own choice Voice in a maze Calling from deceptive wings Fallen angels pluck our strings
3.
Take Me Out From any crowd I am becoming something Light spans in widths There’s a glass ceiling Those purples and greens reflect our meaning This is no religion breaking our commitments Becoming a glass ceiling Purples and greens, light spans in widths There’s a glass ceiling for you and me

All I wish is for things to stay the way they are The way they are I’ll be naive and dream of the same sunset The way it is
6.
Freedom 03:18
Lost upon the first step A barren forest of ammunition Dreams taught me where to go When I was blind to the cure
7.
Of Self 02:02
Your face was one I hadn’t seen when you spoke so clearly And the thought of loosing you to a world that’s gonna eat me up and push me out

about

Of Self captures the most major turning point in my life to date, and possibly ever. I began the writing for the record when I had joined Evan Konrad's live band as a full time drummer in March 2019. I was in Vancouver 4-5 days a week rehearsing 6 hours a day and would come home for a few days at a time on the weekends to begin working on the album. Being around Evan, someone who I have know for over a decade and seeing the growth of his music to the point where he got signed to a major label was an inspiring energy to be around. It instilled in me a, "anyone can do it" sort of energy. You just have to do it, of course. Of Self is the death of my old self and my commitment to following the path of my own artistry. In May 2019 my father passed away unexpectedly. His passing pushed me and the album to a new level of "make it or break it" than before. It added fuel to the fire of carving out my own direction in life, because really, what do you have to lose?
