Blindside Album: The Great Depression Track: My Alibi
My Alibi Lyrics
My feet felt light for the first time in months It was like You came walking across the room Straight at me and then straight through me And then stopped and stood still for awhile I knew then that I'd been lonely for quite some time And as we started to dance, You gently took off my tear-soaked coat And let it fall heavy to the floor and then We danced some more
When all is said and done When all is gone and still just begun I will be asked what I did with my time and why Can You be my alibi Cause I know I spent it dancing with You
I have been here before These emotions are relived It's like a joy deją vu You have been walking along With me for quite some time But me with my deaf ear and my blind sides Both of these I turned against You We all know that You're there We all know
When all is said and done When all is gone and still just begun I will be asked what I did with my time and why Can You be my alibi Cause I know I spent it dancing with You
Said and done Now all is gone and still just begun What have I done with my time and why You are my alibi Cause I know I know I'm dancing with You
Song Description: 'Hope is not what you have done - but in the relationships you have formed - it is being known. I went through a period of depression after coming back from South Africa all throughout the writing of this record. When we were writing this song, I was in the studio and Tomas was recording the bass part and the producer Lasse and I were dancing around the studio for fun. Then it stopped being funny and became a really powerful moment. I don't think Lasse or anyone else in that room noticed anything different but I felt the weight of depression lifting from me. Losing myself in that dance was a very special moment.' - Christian Lindskog (Blindside)
