[neverendingstorey]

Of all I knew, I held too few
And would you stop me, if I tried to stop you?

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?

When I drive alone at nights, I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
And I tried a hundred times to see the road signs as Day-Glo

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?

Just started really digging into Nick Cave's vast body of work of late and this song has resonated with me on a deep level:

They're taking me down, my friend
And as they usher me off to my end
Will I bid you adieu?
Or will I be seeing you soon?
If what they say around here is true
Then we'll meet again
Me and you
My time is at hand, my dove
They're gonna pass me to that house above
Is Heaven just for victims, dear?
Where only those in pain go?
Well it takes two to tango
We will meet again, my love
I know
If you're in Heaven then you'll forgive me, dear
Because that's what they do up there
If you're in Hell, then what can I say
You probably deserved in anyway
I guess I'm gonna find out any day
For we'll meet again
And there'll be Hell to pay
Your face comes to me from the depths, dear
Your silent mouth mouths, "Yes, dear"
Dark red, and big with blood
They're gonna shut me down, my love
They're gonna launch me into the stars
Well, all things come to pass
Glory hallelujah
This prayer is for you, my love
Sent on the wings of a dove
An idiot prayer of empty words
Love, dear, is strictly for the birds
We each get what we deserve
My little snow white dove
Rest assured

In the corner beside my window
Hangs a lonely photograph
There is no reason
I'd never notice a memory that could hold me back
There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place
Gone through days without talking
There is a comfort in silence
So used to losing all ambition
And struggling to maintain what's left
There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place
Once undone, there's only smoke
Burning in my eyes to blind
To cover up what really happened
And force the darkness onto me
There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place

I have always been amazed by Hartmann's Youkai Girl, both for what it represents and for how curious its composition is, I like many arrangements and covers that have been related to it, but I felt reflected with this one, KOISHI∞, the energy and even the nonsense that it give off characterized me, I can no longer say the same but it has a place in my heart.

The lyrics contains word games but they are lost when translated.


Is this longing deliberate? or arbitrary? Either way it's fun!

I've got a feeling that over there
There must be wonderful encounters waiting for me!
I've got a feeling that tomorrow
I'll definitely be cuter than I am today!

So close your eyes for fifteen seconds and…
See those symmetrical flowers blossoming in the dark?
I'm gonna cast some love magic on you now! abra-cadabra-hocus-pocus!

Overloaded with all-go transmissions, I'm so happy!
Love! Incoming! Flash! Rush! Clash!
You're so cute, flustered and overwhelmed, darling! ♥
Is this longing deliberate? or arbitrary? Either way it's fun!

With our fingers locked pinky to pinky
You can't cut this telephone cord with scissors
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Each heart beats a melody
The emotion love breeds is infinite!

Once I blinded myself—
I ended up feeling like I'd seen everything.
Once I let it all go—
I ended up feeling like I'd gained everything.

So close your eyes for fifteen seconds and…
See those psychedelic flowers blossoming behind your eyelids?
Here we go! Straight into your latent subconscious! abra-cadabra hocus-pocus!

Overloaded with all-go transmissions, I'm so happy!
Love! Incoming! Flash! Rush! Clash!
You're so cute, flustered and overwhelmed, darling!
Is this longing deliberate? or arbitrary? Either way it's fun!

With our fingers locked pinky to pinky
You can't cut this telephone cord with scissors
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Each heart beats a melody
The emotion love breeds is infinite!
Sweety!

Overloaded with all-go transmissions, I'm so happy!
Love! Incoming! Flash! Rush! Clash!
No matter how high these emotions take me, I want more, sweetheart!
Are these hidden feelings deliberate? or abitrary? Either way I see you!

Here! There! Whereever! Whenever! Anytime! Everytime!
The telephone cords running to our belly buttons connect us!
If you can't perceive me, it's only because I'm too close!
My emotions are infinite!

 

[Cherry Crumpet]

Well God, now that I'm up here
with maybe some time to kill
away from the daily
fingerwork, legwork, work
at the hen level,
we can continue our quarrel,
the one about free will.

Does my twisting body spell out Grace?
I hurt, therefore I am.
Faith, Charity, and Hope
are three dead angels
falling like meteors or
burning owls across
the profound blank sky of Your face.

There is only one prayer; it is not
the knees in the clean nightgown
on the hooked rug.
I want this, I want that.
Oh far beyond.
Call it Please. Call it Mercy.
Call it Not yet, not yet,

-from Half Hanged Mary by Margaret Atwood

The lyrics that always resonate with me are from Pink Floyd's "One of my turns"

Day after day, love turns grey, like the skin of a dying man.

Night after night, we pretend it's all right, but I have grown older and you have grown colder and nothing is very much fun any more.

Night after night, we pretend it's all right, but I have grown older and you have grown colder and nothing is very much fun any more.

But I can feel one of my turns coming on
I feel, cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum

All too relateable...

Dying fast
Summer dying fast
And this can't last, as nothing ever lasts
In a forest of flesh
There is a need to sever myself away from happiness

 

[Wrennie]

What can I do in this world?
What is it that I, can do?
Just so that tears don't flow down from those pitch black eyes.

I will continue to bite, time and time again, at the future I wish for,
Because in this world full of mistakes,
I want you to smile.
I won't hurt anyone anymore.
I just want to be stronger and stronger,
So that I can stay as myself.
To live purely and righteously,
To live without upsetting anyone,
To live an honest life without straying off,
Is that living without making mistakes?

Is it right to live as I am?
Is it right to live using every trick in the book?
Just what am I meant to be?
Just who am I really?
Tell me!
Tell me!

-

To live a clean and tidy life
To live without making anyone sad
To live on the straight and narrow without standing out
Is that how you live without making any mistakes?

Is it right to live how you are,
Or is it right to live a deceitful lie?

Just what type of person should I try to be?
Just what type of person am I really?
Please, tell me
I'm begging you to tell me

Today, too
In this world that doesn't have any answers
I'm praying and begging
No matter how stupid that is
Because I just want to always
Stay smiling with you 'til the end
My heart leaps
As I yell, my body shaking
Right now's the time to leap into action

Over and over again, I sink my teeth into my weakly self
Because in this world riddled with mistakes
I want to make sure you can smile

I don't want to lose anyone anymore
And that's why I want to get stronger, even stronger
So that I can stay myself

- Monster, YOASOBI (there are multiple translations but I just chose the particular lyrics that resonated with me)

 

[Sherri]

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life, we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?)
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

 

[demuic]

I have burned my tomorrows
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away

And burn my shadow away
And burn my shadow away

Oh, how I loved you

 

[motel rooms]

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure

For when she
Thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more

Going to see the River Man
Going to tell Him all I can
About the ban on feeling free
If He tells me all He knows
About the way His river flows
I don't suppose it's meant for me

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go

-- Nick Drake

Placebo - 'Burger Queen'

Slightly bemused by his lack of direction
Hey you, hey you
Came to this world by caesarean section
Hey you, hey you
Chooses his clothes to match his pallid complexion
Hey you, hey you
Now it takes him all day just to get an erection

Hey you
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all

Goes out to cruise and to meet his connection
Hey you, hey you
He never scores he just gets an infection
Hey you, hey you
Dreams of a place with a better selection
Hey you, hey you
Still it takes him all day just to get an erection
Hey you

Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren't what they seem
Luxemburger queen
He's a burger queen

Slightly bemused by the total rejection
Hey you, hey you
Came to this world by caesarean section
Hey you, hey you
Dreams of a place with a better selection
Hey you, hey you
Dreams of a face that is pure perfection
Hey you

Things aren't what they seem
Luxemburger queen
Luxemburger queen
Luxemburger queen
He's a burger queen

"What It's Like"​

We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you fuckin' slob" is all he replies

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreamin' of"
But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry

I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie

I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between

I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green

I stroked the fattest dimes
At least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart

You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends
On where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks
Out on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late
He liked to get shit faced
And keep the pace with thugs

Until late one night
There was a big gun fight
Max lost his head

He pulled out his Chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead

And now his wife and his kids
Are caught in the midst
Of all of this pain

You know it comes that way
At least that's what they say
When you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
To have to lose...​
