Death of the Music Thread
Let me sing the dying roses
of barbed (radio) wire bouquets,
MacGowan whispered to Sinead
“aren’t these the reasons why we lived
sang the measure of our dreams.”
The jukebox will never die
the final beat of each heart attack,
even never played symphonies
will find fingers on their piano
Russian who etched her soul
on lyrical ectoplasm, shrouded
in Kremlin mists of orchestral fists,
Norwegian who stripped bark from every tree
left wood splinters in eternal oceanic seas,
the Tamil girl who sang the negligee of...

Dark Streets on the Edge or the Industrial Zone
Connecting but not locked in
A loner moves inbetween the lines
It takes courage to live outside the box
Comforted though by bits of human engagement
Dylan said it best
"To live outside the law you must be honest"
Somehow those words ring true for this cowboy
Dark streets on the edge of the industrial zone
A lone light leading to the halal cart
Chicken over rice in a whirlwind of scent
Maybe it's the spices and just enough conversation
Or just maybe, it's something else .....
A loner moves inbetween the lines
It takes courage to live outside the box
Comforted though by bits of human engagement
Dylan said it best
"To live outside the law you must be honest"
Somehow those words ring true for this cowboy
Dark streets on the edge of the industrial zone
A lone light leading to the halal cart
Chicken over rice in a whirlwind of scent
Maybe it's the spices and just enough conversation
Or just maybe, it's something else .....

The Upbringing
Your parents have a problem and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what they tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what they tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

Believe
Please don't cry little one
Daddy will make your tears fade away
Don't be sad precious one
Daddy will make your world bright today
Don't be afraid my son
Sometimes you will fall and that's okay
Just don't give up and run
Sometimes all that you can do is pray
Trust in yourself and you can do anything
Look in yourself to find what you are missing
Free your mind and you'll start to see
All you have to do is believe
Don't get mad little one
Daddy will help you find your way
Don't lose hope my sweet one
Even...
Daddy will make your tears fade away
Don't be sad precious one
Daddy will make your world bright today
Don't be afraid my son
Sometimes you will fall and that's okay
Just don't give up and run
Sometimes all that you can do is pray
Trust in yourself and you can do anything
Look in yourself to find what you are missing
Free your mind and you'll start to see
All you have to do is believe
Don't get mad little one
Daddy will help you find your way
Don't lose hope my sweet one

Why must Pain motivate- a "classic" or "popular" song??
Listen to the words of your favorite tune; captivating- how it sways your mood;
Listen to the words, to know- that the melody put a "spell" on you....
Later on- you "hear" the words; you lived some life- less dreamy blurs; your "catchers mitt"- your ears now perk; all along those words had hurt/"curves"....
the many songs- one overlooked, yet certainly could have overheard- and still the words flew overhead- like anywhere there's sky-...

Look what you've done
Everyday that passes by
I feel the pain burn up my life
and no matter how hard I try
it will never heal with time
But everything will come and go
and there will be nothing to show
what all I have been through
and it’s all because of you
-Look what you’ve done to me now
See how you’re bringing me down?
Look what you’ve done to me now
See how you’re making me drown?- (Chorus)
Every time that you walk by
I feel the pain eat me alive
and no matter how hard I try
I will never be alright
As...

Can't Remember
My blood soaked plan to bury the mistakes I’ve made
Has fallen through the cracks in the floor because I’ve changed
-So much that I can’t remember
What I am supposed to be
So much that I don’t remember
Who I am supposed to be- (Chorus)
The time I’ve spent retracing my steps has been
A waste of time, it seems this pain will never end
And I cannot mend
Because I have changed
-Chorus-
How am I supposed to be
The man I need to be
When all I ever see
Is how cold I can be
I’ve changed –...
Has fallen through the cracks in the floor because I’ve changed

A waste of time, it seems this pain will never end

Pointless
Well, I guess I don’t really know
what it’s like to believe in someone else
and I guess this just goes to show
that I’ve always ended up by myself
The fear of being all alone
breaks right into my skin and conquers me
I’m waiting for my time to come
but until that day I’ll never believe
-It’s pointless for me to keep trying
it’s useless for me to keep hiding
cause it’s me that needs to start moving
on with my life that I need to start living- (Chorus)
I keep things bottled inside me
and don’t open them up to...

Truth
I’m confused, can you help me?
My mind is on distortion
I’m afraid of losing my heart
I’m afraid of this obsession
I don’t know what’s left to feel
I can’t escape these tensions
I need to try and just breathe
But I don’t know my own reflection
-You can’t just walk away from me
Forcing me to look the other way
Can you help me see the truth?
I’ve missed out on so much.-(Chorus1)
I don’t know why there’s only war
Left of this constellation
I can’t run and hide anymore
Get me out of this strange...
My mind is on distortion
I’m afraid of losing my heart
I’m afraid of this obsession
I don’t know what’s left to feel
I can’t escape these tensions
I need to try and just breathe
But I don’t know my own reflection
-You can’t just walk away from me
Forcing me to look the other way
Can you help me see the truth?
I’ve missed out on so much.-(Chorus1)
I don’t know why there’s only war
Left of this constellation
I can’t run and hide anymore
Get me out of this strange...

Infected
You always make me feel like I’m dead inside.
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell
-Cause you’re an infection
to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.
It is a deadly illness like no...
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell
-Cause you’re an infection
to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.
It is a deadly illness like no...

Die Alone
You're not mine
you never were
you'll be better off alone
You're not fine
you've always hurt
I will let you die alone
(Chorus)
There's no excuse for what you did
you never wanted my feelings
you tried to kill me from within
but you failed and now I'm healing
because...
You're not mine
you never were
you'll be better off alone
You're not fine
you've always hurt
I will let you die alone
-Chorus-
I bet you're ashamed to tell me
ashamed to tell me where you've...
you never were
you'll be better off alone
You're not fine
you've always hurt
I will let you die alone

Never let me breathe
My mind is lost
I'm out of place
dont know the cost
I have to face
I've seen it all
there's not much to see
I tend to fall
when you look down on me
I cant sit around here anymore
cause you wont listen to me
I wont stand around here anymore
cause you never let me breathe
(Chorus)
I come down here
just to watch you crawl
I make your fear
stronger than you are
One day you'll realize
just how far you can get
without me in your life
saying how far you will get
...
I'm out of place
