Cardboard box

by The Ennrons

/

about

This song is a nostalgic journey. Pulling out a cardboard box from under the bed, filled with memories of a life that has gone by. The song was written, recorded and engineered by the band. The high point is the final verse and transition into the coda leading to the guitar solo (2:51 - 3:30) highlighting the change in mood from nostalgia to regret.

lyrics

I’m sitting on the edge of my bed
A big cardboard box stands in front of me
Is there a reason, is it melancholy?
Or is it about the hard times I ever had?
Or is it about the hard times I ever had?

I’m reading all my postcards, of times that have gone by
Girlfriends I once had (In my mind) are passing by
Scared to be lonely, and though I’m shy
They keep sending me letters, it’s not a lie
They keep sending me letters, it’s not a lie

Don’t be afraid of the future
You can’t live your life in the past
Now step into this adventure
And survive at last

Why do I listen to my life on tape
Making music always was my great escape
But now I’m staring at an empty page
It’s all about the memories I crave
It’s all about the memories I crave

Don’t be afraid of the future
You can’t live your life looking back
Step into this adventure
And survive at last

Why did I enjoy living in the past
Now that I’m happy at last
Why couldn’t I step into the dream
It’s the best film that I’ve ever seen

I will step into this dream
The truth can hardly be seen
I will step into the truth
And this time it will be for good
