Nowhere To Run (7-30-06 Demo) @StegRex

Stegosaurus Rex Stegosaurus Rex - Nowhere To Run (Demo)

This is the first version of Nowhere To Run, rendered on July 30, 2006 at exactly 10:49 PM.

I had begun the song earlier that day, and was trying to learn how to use a vocoder, when I asked my brother to say something funny into the mic. "You're gonna die." From that, I began building a synth patch around the vocals and added my sister to the chorus, and that night, I worked on the rest of the lyrics. The song structure in its entirety (with the final melody) was finished August 2, 2006.

In this demo, you'll notice a couple things different from the final:

1. Different melody for the verses.
2. Only half the verses were finished.
3. Scratchier vocoder, but more melodic.
4. Poor use of the compressor.

Lyrics:

Youre gonna die
Im gonna kill you
Youre gonna die
Im gonna kill you

Feeling all blue
Ive got no more time
They all hate me
Because of my crime

Their threats come at me
Their voices are loud
All to condemn me
My face is still proud

You were my good friend
I saved you before
I thought you turned good now
But you asked for some more

You had to provoke me
So I beat you
Watched your skull bleed
So now I feel blue

Out of ideas
Nowhere to run
Looking right down
Barrel of a gun

And so I dream
Voices in my head
Delusions mock me
My best friend is dead

I feel no guilt
But I shed a tear
I see your dead body
With the blood all smeared

A bird sings a song
Its all for you
Outside its so warm
And the skies are all blue

Youre gonna die
Im gonna kill you
Youre gonna die
Im gonna kill you
