    Default The Mind of a Dead Man

    This song is about Alan Turing. The man who worked out the Enigma code and then committed suicide because he was slated for being homosexual. He died of Cyanide poisoning by taking one bite out of an apple and that is the reason the company 'apple' has a logo of an apple with one bite mark.

    The Mind of a Dead Man

    Revelation of the well formatted mind entwine,
    Increasing the space in this brain of mine,
    Constant crashing and crippling concepts,
    Bad installations and declines or accepts,
    The road through memories is not paved,
    Can’t load from where I left off ‘cause I forgot to save,
    They say the mind is the greatest computer of all,
    But every computer will have to stall.

    Exquisite descriptions and information to collect,
    Steady stutters and lack of intellect,
    The ices in the mind sometime melt away,
    Blurring the vision or breaking the display,
    This is the story of how one great mind,
    Decided to leave, to pack up and unwind,
    The greatest deeds the world has seen,
    Just taken for granted by the great machine.

    Erratic behaviour and punching the screen,
    This violence and hate is so unforeseen,
    The electrics, the power, the mind-blowing graphics,
    Just a little slow, let’s hope you’re antipsychotics,
    Too much pushing took away this superb mind,
    Behind his pate a great power he’d bind,
    But if an error occurred in his hard-drive,
    He’d be extremely lucky if he would survive.

    The man in question had saved us all,
    He could have left it and let us fall,
    Then one day in his life he came out clean,
    He had a virus in his daily routine,
    But ignorance from the belittled mind,
    Made this man commit suicide,
    All for a cheap shot, all for a grapple,
    That is why the company’s apple.

    When he worked out the Enigma code,
    We didn't praise him, we let him corrode,
    Instigate the greatest mind,
    Or let it drop, let it unwind?

    Default very nice

    i like the word usage, i've used similar style before. Interesting topic as well. the whole set of lyrics has a mechanical disconnect as well which fits

    Default

    Why thank you. I think maybe I need an instrumental break in there somewhere, as there is no chorus, so it doesn't become a mind-numbingly repetitive melody. What do you think, and where should I put it?
