I wrote The Tower during my unsuccessful songwriting challenge
Of one song a day for the month of April
(I did 10)
I tried to base all of them off of different tarot cards
For The Tower I wanted it to have a hopeful tone
The Tower as a tarot card is infamous for being The Bad Card
When you think of a scary card
A lot of people will name The Tower
But it's not as bad as people think
The idea is that everything you've built
aka the tower
is doomed to collapse
What people forget it that there's a reason why it needed to collapse
Maybe there was a faulty foundation
And having it break down gives you a chance to rebuild
The card after The Tower is The Star
Which means hope
There IS hope
You just need to rip the bandaid off
