Misc Originals – Cocoas Sweet Innocence - The Beverage Child (Guitar)

Em7
    This work is a

Am7       D      
brutal, emotional handmade

  G             G/F#  Em7   
sculpture of beverage packets consisting of 

 Am7      D                
cocoa and tea in a container 

  G          G/F#   Em7
adorned with googlyeyes  and a Santa Claus

Am7         D      
hat. This work deploys transparency that 

  G               G/F#       
lends the piece a feeling of 

C                D
  omnipotent inspection

     C             Bm           Am        G     D
catapulting the materials from mundane into fantastical

Em7
    The consumable 

 Am7           D
nature of the packets is 

     G          G/F#  Em7
reminiscent of death,      as a 

     Am7          D
metaphor for the possibility of 

     G        G/F#  Em7
spectacular transformation and

   Am7       D
rebirth.  The packets are arranged so the

 G        G/F#  Em7  
tea sits vertically  on top of the     

 Am7      D
cococa, exemplifying the

    G         G/F#     
grotesque fragility of the

C                    D
   cocoa's sweet innocence

      C           Bm     Am    G    D
subjugated by the tea's bitter   maturity

Em7
    The transparent 

    Am7            D
container of the packets resembling

 G      G/F#  Em7
Santa Claus        with googley

Am7         D
eyes, epitomizes dazzling childhood

 G      G/F# Em7
joy and fantasy  of winter

Am7          D                         
holidays. Together the packets and 

    G       G/F#  Em7
container embody      a

        Am7           D
juxtaposition of juvenile inculpability of

 G      G/F# Em7                     
minator maturation into

  Am7                 D
adulthood. While whimsical on the

G      G/F#
outside

C                  D
   The containers inside

   C          Bm       Am        G            D
eerily illustrates unsweetened adult responsibilities

       C           Bm         Am      G           D
and experince supplanting adolescent values and dreams
