Story Behind The Song
Whilst I think it is wrong to judge anyone I find myself judging too. Having thought about that I felt a little guilty and found myself wondering if I would be a better person for not doing so. I thought it would be a good idea to write about this and the struggles with the mind to overcome that thought process and being the better person. I find most of us are all kind of programmed into judging anyone and any situation as a defence mechanism in today's society.
Song Description
This song is about having a first impression on anything or anyone for that matter. The whole point in the lyrics though is trying to overcome that thought process and being able to see beyond that. For example, judging a homeless person without fully understanding there situation ie. mental illness, no family to support them, no money and no help from anyone more or less. Judging how one may appear etc. Although these are a couple of way's of having a first impression, the song is about judging any situation.

Lyrics
Every road has direction and every map will show the way
Like everyone they have a first impression it makes no difference what you gotta say
So you better start looking for direction
And you better stop hanging out dead ends
And you better start looking for intentions
And you better stop there's nothing more to say
Everyone has there own ambitions and every mind will show the way
Like everyone they have there own redemptions
it makes no difference what you gotta say
So you better start looking for direction
And you better stop hanging out dead ends
And you better start looking for intentions
And you better stop there's nothing more to say
So when you find a surprise put it away for the lonely times
it's a surprise for you and me
Cause it's your lies and cries that gives you away at the best of times
for the likes of you and me
You give it all away
There's nothing more that I can say
So when you find a surprise put it away for the lonely times
it's a surprise for you and me
Cause it's your lies and cries that gives you away at the best of times
for the likes of you and me
