Wow
Nice play on words
I love the end
"I have misplaced
This cord"
Is this inspired by any real event?
The first part is more or less about my daily struggles of songwriting. I have no musical education and most of the time I can't translate the melody in my mind into chords on the guitar.
The second is something along the lines of unrequited love, more on the part of falling for someone and all the confusion it may bring. Not necessarily any particular events in my own experience on this one.
The end is about looking at oneself and being able to recognize one's own faults and to basically admit you're doing it wrong, realizing the silliness of it all.
I think I can relate to the first part. Some of my poems have a certain musicality to them; usually rap and pop. While I can write fairly good, I have issues projecting them. I still struggle with spoken words. Maybe performance isn't for me.
About unrequited love, I guess everyone has got their own share of that.
At the end, like you said, we must accept responsibility for our selves
