First Time I Met Musik
Scroobius Pip

I woke early one day after a restless night,
I watched the stars burst and fill the morning sky with light.
In my hazy daze I noticed something on my bedroom floor:
It was an envelope I don't think I had seen before.
I opened with caution and in it did reside
A map and a note that said, Join me inside.
I had nothing to do that day outside of my head,
So I decided to just follow and see where it led.

It led me to a door; I grabbed the handle and used it:
Stood before me was the physical embodiment of music.
I could barely believe my eyes, she was a sepia goddess,
Every contour was perfection yet her demeanour was modest.
Even armed with all this beauty she was in no way belittling,
I'd liken her bodice to the open riff from 'Little Wing.'
Her eyes burned deep with the passion of a nameless chain gang,
And her lips smiled with the vibe of 'Son of a Preacher Man.'

She told me how she'd evolved over time,
We sat in this empty room with just a bed and some wine.
She talked for hours about the things she's seen and done, but not boasting.
We poured some zinfandel, raised the glass and just toasting.
We had a meeting of minds; she breathed new life in this old brain,
She was the milk in my Kahlúa; I was the Hartman to her Coltrane.
Showed me scars she had acquired each time a genius would depart:
Jimmy Hendrix on her left hand, Johnny cash on her heart.
Different fingers from Mingus and Davis, and her leg scarred for Elvis
Ray Charles on her eyelids, Jim Morrison on her pelvis.

Then she asked about me, and my musical stylings,
And all the things in life I found somewhat inspiring.
I paused and smiled, the wine making me feel quite cocky,
Feeling whatever I said she would take in and not mock me.
Said, I'm a wordsmith and artist; I'm deep like the TARDIS,
Every time I aim for something I'm gonna hit the target.
She joked, Gangster rap? I said, No but drop the 'g',
You might start to get a better description of me.
Angster rap? She said, If it sticks you'll regret that,
The most appalling moniker since the dawn of emo rap.

She was a sepia goddess,
Yet her demeanour was modest,
Hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests,
Many before me had fallen
At her feet and died,
But that night we made a connection and she let me inside.

She was a sepia goddess,
Yet her demeanour was modest,
Hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests,
Many before me had fallen
At her feet and died,
But that night we made a connection and she let me inside.

I continued:
Some of these clothes are looking old, just like my jaded character,
Who thinks like an old pro, but sometimes acts like an amateur.
This hat's an old classic, in the first stage of dilapidation,
It's a fair evaluation that it's making this equation a little...
Top heavy, if you know what I mean,
'Cause there's a fine line between a classic and a has been.
As I finished that statement, I noticed a sadness in her eyes.
This moved me, and left my mind wondering why.

As we laid there she buried her head in my chest,
I wrapped my arms around and stroked her with the sweetest caress.
She said she'd grown tired, and sick of the same shit,
I said if there's anything in the world I can do she should name it.
I tried to find the right that would make her sad head lift,
I wanted a chance to breathe life back into music like Red Shift.
She said sit in public places and quietly observe
All of the speeches, mannerisms, every action and word.
When something inspires me, to concentrate on that thing,
Get a pen and pad and then produce a vocal offering.

She said, Bring the lost art of conversation back,
I'm sick to death of awkward silences and all that crap.
It's time to talk to one another, share your thoughts and facts,
You'll learn the more knowledge you give, the more you'll get right back.
I looked her in the eyes and said I'd do what I could,
Then she held my head and kissed me, but not like a lover would.
But then, it also wasn't like a close friend or relative,
Instead of exciting, it was calming like a spiritual sedative.

And then we laid there until I woke in an empty room.
If I couldn't still smell her skin, I'd be inclined to assume
That I'd dreamt the whole thing, but I knew that I hadn't,
And I'd seen the perfect balance of beauty and talent.
After a few moments of reflection I rose to my feet,
Opened the door with squinted eyes and stepped back into the street.
I kind of staggered home and got out a pen as she'd said,
And I wrote down my inspiration, and here's what it read:

She was a sepia goddess,
Yet her demeanour was modest,
Hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests,
Many before me had fallen
At her feet and died,
But that night we made a connection and she let me inside.

She was a sepia goddess,
Yet her demeanour was modest,
Hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests,
Many before me had fallen
At her feet and died,
But that night we made a connection and she let me inside.

She was a sepia goddess,
Yet her demeanour was modest,
Hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests,
Many before me had fallen
At her feet and died,
But that night we made a connection and she let me inside.

She was a sepia goddess,
Yet her demeanour was modest,
Hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests,
Many before me had fallen
At her feet and died,
But that night we made a connection and she let me inside.
