Dwell

from Y3K Part One by Kerry Logan

about

The Y3K album is a conceptual piece about my 'spiritual reset' that occurred when I rediscovered the book of Romans through new eyes. After musing over the causes of sin and my response to it, here I actually begin to question the question itself - am I dwelling on something that does not exist? A lie that hides a truth?

The riff for this song was written to fit a 9-beat drum track I came up with after a music practice at church. When I got Bob's drum track, he had interpreted it in a totally different way... far better. The song took of and, after adding in the vocals (which at that point were only lyrics with no melody line so I had no idea what they were going to be), I was amazed to find that this song was one of my favourites on the album - 2 minutes of power!

lyrics

Every forward action reminds me of a backward step
Every breath that I draw has a weight of its own
Calculating a way out is taking its toll
The more I ponder on this, the more that I dwell

Consider every angle, to make myself debt-free
Weight up every reason as to why I feel weight
Am I looking for answers where none can be found?
Is my error trying to solve where I dwell?

It’s not just the answer
Or the question
The fact that I’m slowed down
By the memory
Like a little gremlin
Taps my shoulder
At every opportunity
To remind me so!

I know all the theory, but still I fail to see
The weight I think that own is not inside of me
Perhaps there’s no question for me to try answer
Maybe it doesn’t exist, this thing on which I dwell
