This is my Entry from the very first ever Spintunes Contest. First Round.
http://spintunes.blogspot.com/
The Challenge was 'I'm a DC, You're a Marvel.'
We were to write a song from the point of view of a superhero.
I wrote this song from the point of view of myself--as if *I* was the superhero who had entered a song contest and had the prompt to write a song about being a superhero … and so I then had to use a song contest song to
1. describe my superhero self and fulfil the contest challenge without overtly revealing my identity and compromising my overarching crime fighting directive.
2. declare love for either a participant in the contest (presumably another superhero or random songwriter), any random listener in the round (a hapless victim in need of saving), or someone who is hearing the song in the future long after the contest is done (an intrepid listener in need of time travel).
3. ...somehow reveal-yet-conceal this identity, all while pretending to participate in a meta world.
4. Am I, in fact, the NAME of this album here? Who IS this masked songwriter?
Who knows these things?
Anyway, there are now things that I'd fix about this recording, and possibly my premise. However, some of the awkwardness has now baked into the history of the tune and can't be washed out. So it might just be part of the history of it.

lyrics
Stare through my hands again
Blue page to tempt me to tell my secret
but you seem to guess it so well
Yes, no one sees the whole
It spins so close to home
Truth hits down to the bone but you get it so totally,
you alone seem to see all the way through me
Are you my friend or my enemy?
And I don't let anyone or anything see me
Invisible Girl. Invisible Me
The secrets inside me burn so [much] deeper than lightning
the sneaking, the fighting, the hiding
and you think that just because you see through walls that you can see
invisibly
My disguise slipped last night
Those x-ray eyes of yours saw me fade right through the exit door
Of course, I'm running away
Yeah you run away too, you know
sometimes I see your eyes ...
Sometimes we'll go away together to fight crime
And if we could fly it might stop us from falling
And if I could let somebody see
the Invisible Girl. Invisible me
The secrets inside me have always had only one key
And I guess that you want to unlock me
And you see me walk alone on a tightrope...
And I will not wear my heart on my sleeve,
you say what you think...
do you think we'd make a good team?
Invisible Girl. Visible me
Could you call the shots?
Could I be your Robin or would you be one nation indivisible under me?
Could we be so lucky?

all I can say is I wish I could find that necklace. There's a secret compartment in it. But then again there are lots of secret compartments in these lyrics and photos. 🧀
