Trapped

Liner Notes
This one is for the Oracle Challenge. I drew the card "Trapped" - this is my take on that topic. Instruments: Hand made 3 String Cigar Box Guitar (Open G) PRS SE Santana on Solo Drums by Boss Drums on my BR80 Multitrack Recorder (Old School me 😉 ) Machine #oraclechallenge #Blues #cigarboxguitar
Lyrics
I was caught in my own snare and now I'm trapped I'm not keen on constant change, but I'll have to adapt All the dreams I held so close must now be scrapped I was caught in my own snare and now I'm trapped
The whole future before me I had mapped But that snare of mine has left me handicapped The jury's out but the judge is black capped The whole future before me I had mapped
What I had to offer remains untapped What she gave me, I thought came gift-wrapped Her cold kisses now leave my lips chapped What I had to offer remains untapped
GUITAR SOLO
I built the snare myself in which I'm trapped My conscience should have had my knuckles rapped It was the Devil's thoughts I must have tapped When I built the snare myself in which I'm trapped

Nicely done, the line "Her cold kisses now leave my lips chapped" is so powerful. I love how you've unfolded this story the sudden turn into how exactly he was trapped is just so unexpected. Great storytelling. 👏

Love the aesthetic on this! I'm a sucker for early 90s drum machine sounds. Lo-fi guitars sound great and the whole thing grooves along!

Haha, wow! How many words can even rhyme with "trapped"? But you nailed it! What visions! You've captured that feeling perfectly. The way you weaved everything together was brilliant. Each word adds to the vibe and the message comes through so clearly in your performance. Outstanding work on the challenge! Thanks so much for taking part! 😄

AAAA all the way, and you left me completely blind about the type of trap until halfway through! I wish your protagonist better communication skills in the future! I liked having just a riff for a chorus, which surprised me.

Love that cigar box guitar!!! Great lyrics - I especially like the third stanza and the overall repetition of first and last lines. Awesome vocal delivery, well-suited to the guitars.
