Alibi - a song about the pandemic times
Channel: Praveen Maloo
Date: 2020-07-11

First single from Ikigai Mantra. 

The story of Pi and the pandemic in Seattle. Lost in the dark shadows of an empty life in the isolation of the remote-everything-world, Pi questions his own existence and the meaning behind the Pandemic. “Why does it feel so much more like a part of a larger puzzle? When the smoke clears, what world state will emerge? The pandemic was just an alibi …”

Lyrics (inspired by real events in Seattle):

Times like these, make us, change our ways
No ebb and flow, we forget our days
Times like these, leave us, in despair
No rise and shine, we are always here

Times like these, break us, into groups
Seas of facts, not a friend to trust 
Times like these, make them, take..
..control

Pray for a restful time, white clouds in the crimson sky
Breathing my nature cure, like rainbows on a mountain side

Why, oh Why, am I here, and now?

Times like these, give us, ways to be
More human like, in unity
Times like these, prove us, all so wrong
Why cannot we, escape at dawn

Times like these, bring us, rocky moods
Frolic and joy, now, precious goods
Freedom and choice, no longer, will, be ..
..whole

Run away, to a secret cove, with songs and a stolid high   
Goodbye to self-control, I’ll see you on the other side

Why, oh Why, are you here, and now?

Pawns of life, in the darkest hour
Lives on pause, in faith overdose
Read the maze, break them rules
Breathe me in, I’m your alibi......
