I was hoping to give the impression that I felt I was being chased by the watchmen but, when I gave up and went the direction they were chasing me, I realized that was where I needed to go, which made me realize I was being guided by them. But you're right. It would definitely be more obvious to those who read the book. Or even just the parable of the watchmen the book uses. Thank you for your comments and observations.

You're right. Separate channels, as you described. I used the backing to record my vocals and then just stuck them together to post. For a final version, I'll have to do something better than that.
I read through the lyric, and I can see why you get a feeling about the wall(s) being plural in the first verse. But I need the to progress from being forced over that first wall (singular) to realizing there [life] is a series of walls.
Thanks for the compliments!

If you get a chance, try again. Maybe there was a glitch when you tried. I just checked to make sure it's correct, and it is. I'm hoping there was just a gremlin interfering when you attempted to listen. Thanks for the compliment and the suggestion for the title.
And thanks to everyone who's listened so far.
