PERCEPTOR4 - Slaying Dragons - Rap Part 1

This is the first part of the rap that is from the middle of the song.

The idea about slaying dragons comes from something Jordan Peterson said about all the things that we are scared of or don't want to do and that we always put off doing.

The more and more we put off something it slowly becomes this scary monster or dragon that becomes far bigger and scarier than the actual thing we are scared to do.

As I am getting older, I am trying to do all the things I am scared to do or am putting off so I decided I was going to slay all my dragons.

As I wrote the song though it evolved into the idea that instead of slaying these dragons, maybe we could work with them and become friends and then together we could become unstoppable and achieve anything!

I hope this song helps you beat or become friends with your dragons! - Tom

'Cause I'm waiting for you, to tell me when you're ready
Just like Saved by the Bell, then we can go steady
'Cause I got a bass line like Nine Inch Nails
Then we can go for a drink, a meal and lots of cocktails.
I draw on every bit of music I've ever liked
Even take a little bit from the music I dislike
Even the music I dislike, good to know what sells
Take some music that I hate and make it rebel.
Into something that we can universally like
Almost heavenly and almost beast-like
I'll mate with the dragon and create a new hybrid
A whole new species that's not so blinded.
Not running away but no longer slaying
We can speak and they will know what we are saying
They can learn from us and we can learn from them
We can guard them when they're praying and we can be their guardsmen.
Imagine a world where we and dragons are one
Every battle with a dragon has already been won
But not with pre-planning or heads that need slamming
Just a mutual respect of time and space that would be spanning...
