Best be away now

from Biscuit EP by Arty del Rio

about

A song who's working title had been Biscuit, as the guys I played with thought I was singing "Biscuit away now", during its rehearsal period where I would sing "I best get away now".

The track has was finished recorded in 2013.

Tells the story of the insides of a young man's head, and his interpretation of his own tangent thoughts.

lyrics

He will come into my mind
Unaware of place or time
Floating in and out my head
Putting thoughts there that I dread
He’ll be back the day I die
Why he comes I don’t know why
It’s a blur most of that day
The last thing I heard him say

“I best be away now”

It’s a dream or so it seems
It might have been the THCs
Still I try to find meaning
In what I thought I’d felt I’d seen
Trying hard to understand
It reigns my thoughts it drives me mad
Then it strikes me with a blow
There are things I just can’t know

“I best be away now”

I keep on thinking if he’s gone
But I know well that there’s a bond
Something that just cannot break
But I wish someone would take
It frightens me that I can’t tell
If he’s divine or he’s hell
All I know the end’s the day
The last time I hear him say

“I best be away now”
