about

"Trapped in a Body" is a part of the upcoming concept album "SAGA" that is out 9/24/21 on Rock Hand Records.

The track emanates an electroclash post-punk feel but has a tinge of industrial pop behind it.

"The concept was 'inspired' by my father's struggle with the ferocious disease of Parkinson's and the notion of not being able to control one's own body." - Kym Priess, Ringleader of STDR

+++ A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS SONG GO THE CAPITAL AREA PARKINSON'S SOCIETY +++

Check out the video I made with my dad on drums : youtu.be/sWSaw5zbzhc

The chorus chants...
"I wanna move my legs normal - don't wanna move no more!"

When the song was presented at the debut immersive production of STDR, audience members were prompted to crawl thru a literal tunnel - using their capable bodies, evoking the concept of personal transformation and hope.

STDR continues to tackle the battle between Light and Dark - in whatever form it may present itself in. And the "transformation tunnel" lives on today in live shows at a music venue near you :)

lyrics

Trapped in a body that I can’t control
Trapped in a body / it’s the way that it goes
Trapped in a body that I can’t control

How it became / nobody knows

Oh Oh Ah Ah Oh Oh
Hey

Trapped in a body I can’t control

Trapped in a body / they tell you move slow
Trapped in a body I can’t control

Baby blame, everyone knows

I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go

I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more

Oh Oh Ah Ah Oh Oh
Hey

Trapped in a body I can’t control

Trapped in a body go on must the Show

Trapped in a body I can’t control

Too late to be lame / too late to be tame /
too late to be sane / you’re the same in your brain 

Trapped in a body you can’t control

Trapped in a body you can’t control /
You’re outta control

I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go

I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more

No More No More No More No More No More No More
No More No More No More No More No More No More
I wanna dance
Move my hands
I’m gonna dance
Move my hands
Move my hands

I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go

I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more
I wanna move my legs normal
Dance - move - go

I wanna move my legs normal
Don’t wanna move no more

Oh, no, save me, I can’t control
