about

Like Metropolis, this was also written spontaneously when I wasn't trying to write a song. The riff came first and then I followed through and the title uses the famous Trojan Horse story as an analogy for Truth. The Earth is the devil's territory, we are all born into unconsciousness not Freedom, so Truth has to gradually make itself known by sneaking in undercover, so to speak, since its not a fair playing field.

lyrics

Riding through the winter months alone
Never sure how we would make it home
Sleeping ‘till the afternoon is late
Eating breakfast from a plastic tray

Practice every day what we preach
Leave it all to life what’s out of reach
Rest our heads wherever there is time
On the run we’ll follow all the signs

Long time
I’m coming through in a trojan horse
Break down
Come and join the trojan horse

Ridicule and glory in the mail
Read it everyday to watch them fail
The weak have got to join and be strong
And tell of how we’re living in the wrong

Long time
I’m coming through in a trojan horse
Break down
Come and join the trojan horse

On the 17th day you chose to light up my room
As darkness goes how we must have heard
A lot of things that were second hand
As we came in

Long time
I’m coming through in a trojan horse
Break down
Come and join the trojan horse
High times
Coming through in a trojan horse
Light up
Come and join the trojan horse

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
