I am no native speaker...so I´d appreciate feedbacks on language/grammar. Is there anyhing,that sounds awkward, very unnatural or ridiculous? ;)
It´s an old „rock“ song I turned into a Singer-Songwriter number. That is actually also the subject – how old lyrics sometimes come to life after years in the closet. It wasn´t meant to be too straight forward, but also not completely cryptic so people can connect and create their own story out of it. musically it becomes kind of loud and noisy in some parts. Dont worry about the metric too much, it fits into the music as it is. Enough talk...let´s see what you guys think/feel :)

Thanks in advance for every feedback!

Island of Sound

[intro]
I do believe in the devil
and I do believe in notes
so may here be a note to the devil
better turn it up loud, turn it up loud....

[verse1]
Fading pictures, memories tinged with grey
written off stories, take on colour again
I reach out for their surface…and devote to their tale
touched, turned, twisted…I´m diving in...

[chorus]   
Find me climbing, find me hanging around
with dust on my hands, I´m leaving the ground
Find me flying… on my way through the clouds
Let those wings carry me...to the island of sound


[verse 2]
I learned to listen before I raise my voice
So many questions get a silent response….
How far will this road take me…how long can I stay?
Close my eyes and feel there is so much more..than you can see

[Chorus]
