Storytelling

Belle and Sebastian
Storytelling

Picture a scene in your mind
Looks at all the people and take note of the setting behind
Listen, watch, and wait
A plot begins to take shape
There's a story
And then characters will come to you
Relating events as they choose to
But all their words and actions come entirely from you

If you're a storyteller you might htink you're without responsibility
And you can lead your characters anywhere you want
You have immunity

Have you considered the way
People might react to all the things that your characters say?
And are their actions hand in hand with what you want
to portay?
Are you sick?
Are you crippled? Insane?
Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name?
Are you the one to be blamed?

Now you're a storyteller you might think you are without responsability
But in directions, actions and words
Cause and effect
You need consistency
..

How can you finish the tale?
Lives which have played a part
Are summarised from the very start
And episodes left out to make it all go our way
'It's a might big world
Some of it I've seen
But mostly I've only heard
And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth'

You're just a storyteller
You're not trying to escape responsability
If we believe you then you're succesful
But you don't make claims of verity

You're just a storyteller
You're not trying to escape responsability
If we believe you then you're succesful
But you don't make claims of verity
