DM Me

by @hmstreetteam

Skirmish: Call me! (@nightwing521)

Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #poprock The skirmish said “Call me,” and I decided that “DM me” was closer to the point.

Lyrics

I don’t know how we arrived At this sorry state There are nights when I fear It’s already too late There is only one way to erase The words we haven’t spoken

DM me an emoji or two Just enough that I will know that it’s you And we can start to untangle All these webs we’ve woven

I know too much about how to speak With no words at all I write novels about What’s on the other side of that wall None of it is real Until the door is open

DM me an emoji or two Just enough that I will know that it’s you And we can start to untangle All these webs we’ve woven

Someday we’ll wonder The spell we were under Such a long time to wait

I don’t know how we arrived At this sorry state There are nights when I fear It’s already too late There is only one way to erase The words we haven’t spoken

DM me an emoji or two Just enough that I will know that it’s you And we can start to untangle All these webs we’ve woven

Yeah, @hmstreetteam , how unfortunate that we as a phone society have come to this--that many times can only find the time to DM. Classic observation you had there, re: this prompt, and saw fit to massage "call" it into "DM" for your write! Cool all around here! Some classic lol lines, too. Emojis--so relatable!

Beautifully melancholic and nostalgic song. Performed with heart and soul. Very special take on the prompt.

Yeah, a DM is probably far more likely these days, especially if it’s just an emoji or two. That could go multiple ways. I’m glad you let the listener decide what those emojis might be.

I LOL when I saw your title. Who calls, anymore? But the emotion is the same. Just an emoji or two - just enough! Great lyrics.

This is a great take on the prompt. The guitar riff has a building intensity to it that delivers the lyrics so well.

I find myself thinking a lot about what it means to take back words that haven't spoken and it it puts me an interesting mental space- like the sound of one hand clapping

There's a great melancholy feel to this one. Nice updating of the skirmish prompt. Very well done.
