about

This song is a song I wrote for my band Positive Charge. The lyrics reflect overlooking the importance of a first impression, which, socially, can be damning or uplifting. Either of which should be challenged and given a second chance.

lyrics

It only takes a second for someone to paint a picture of you inside their head
Based on what they already know and what they see
Regardless of details overlooked, invisible or hiding in shadows
But you never see it all the first time

First impressions / Second guesses
Wearing our masks with our best foot forward
A summary of the best of the text
The best of the text

Use all preparation and keep integrity
They’re the best tools at your disposal
Remember first impressions determine direction & momentum
It’s a delicate balancing act in our superficial world
Broken glass isn’t fixed too easily
It’s an uphill battle to reverse the gravity

First impressions / Second chances
Starting on the wrong foot / Unlucky circumstances
Seeking forgiveness / Rebuilding trust
Rebuilding Trust

Standing at the plate, there’s no time to explain
Act as rehearsed or start to improvise
It’s an uphill battle to reverse the gravity
Pressure builds with increasing weight
Under the scrutiny of judgemental eyes
Every action has potential to seal fate

First impressions / Second guesses
Wearing our masks with our best foot forward
A summary of the best of the text
First impressions / Second chances
Starting on the wrong foot / Unlucky circumstances
Seeking forgiveness / Rebuilding trust
Rebuilding trust
