Eros's blog: "Favourite Songs/ Poignant Lyrics"

When I fell from grace
I never realized
how deep the flood was around me.
A man whose life was toil
was like a kettle left to boil,
and the water left scars on me.

I know now who I am.
If only for a while,
I recognize the changes.
I feel like I did before the
magic wore thin and the "baptism
of stains" began.

They used to say I was
nowhere, man,
heading down
was my destiny.
But yesterday, I swear,
that was someone else not me.

Here I stand at the crossroads edge,
afraid to reach out for eternity,
One step, when I look down,
I see someone else not me.

Looking back and I see
someone else.

All my life they said I
was going down,
but I'm still standing,
stronger, proud.
And today I know there's
so much more I can be.

I think I finally, understand.

From where I stand at the crossroads edge,
there's a path leading out to sea.
And from somewhere
deep in my mind,
sirens sing out loud
songs of doubt
as only they know how.
But one glance back reminds, and I see,
someone else not me.

I keep looking back
at someone else... me? 

This is where it ends, and this is where it all begins so step right along my friend, I will let you know my name dissapear in crystal shades of grey, believe in nothing losing all you have in life, will teach you nothing You stand alone my friend and I will hear you calling out but I I am, I am you will be blinded by fame enter my selection, show me desolation and will hear your shame, and so you die And so it all begins, my death connection you lose your preception, embrace the non divine reappear and speak your final peace, relieve yourself believe in all you see before you, believe in me You stand alone my friend and I will hear you calling out but I I am, I am you will be blinded by fame enter my selection, show me desolation and I will hear your shame Lie for lie, I realize eye for an eye and the world turns blind you are paralyzed, nothing to gain by hiding behind your shame creating structures and lies that ruptures I am the architect of lies lies the architect of lies You stand alone my friend and I will hear you calling out but I I am, I am you will be blinded by fame enter my selection, show me desolation and will hear your shame

 

I came into this world
A screaming infant
Forced entry into this life
As I grow the pain sustains
Deep inside my soul
Visions come and visions go
But hate will never leave me
As I grow the pain sustains
Deep inside my soul
Visions come and visions go
But hate will never leave me

Life an Death never again
I shall not return
Soul sucking pious man
I shall not return

The reflection, an aging soul
My body's old and cracked
Death soon will be with me
Coldness, inactive pain
Soul sucked at the speed of light
Trapped in someone else
No please not again
Evil reincarnated
The cycle's spun once more
Soul sucked at the speed of light

Hans plays with lotte, lotte plays with jane
Jane plays with willi, willi is happy again
Suki plays with leo, sacha plays with britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, enrico plays with it
-whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
-whistling tunes were kissing baboons in the jungle
Its a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres

Andre has a red flag, chiang chings is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for lin tai yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
-whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
-whistling tunes we piss on the coons in the jungle
Its a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres

 

Stained, looking at my hands
I talk with these lines
It's not the answer
I'm crying and I now I know
Looking the sky
I search for an answer
So free, free to be
I'm not another liar
I just want to be myself...myself

And now the beat inside of me
Is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
Never any feeling inside
Around me...
I Bring my body
Carry it into another world
I know I live...but like a stone I'm falling down

Damned, looking into the sky
I can feel this rain
Right now it's falling on me
Fly, I just want to fly
Life is all mine
Some days I cry alone,
But I know I'm not the only one
I see that another day is gone
I don't want to die...
Please be here when I arrive, don't die...please

K, so I'm thinking of doing another of those first line lyric quizes like I've done before.

I'm planning on making it a Metallica special, one, maybe two songs from each album (except St. Anger, just because), same rules as usual, answers in the comments etc.

Prize this time being a day blast or 6 bling pack.

Would anyone be interested in that?

 

She told me she loved me, Which means, She must be insane
I've had my face dragged in , Fifteen miles of shit, And I do not, And I do not, And I do not like it
So how can anybody say, They know how I feel, The only one around here who is me, Is me

They said they respect me, Which means, Their judgement is crazy
I've had my face dragged in, Fifteen miles of shit, And I do not, And I do not, And I do not like it
So how can anybody say, They know how I feel, When they are they, And only I am I

He said he wants to befriend me, Which means, He can't possibly know me
The voices of the real, And the imagined cry, The future is passing you by, The future is passing you by

So how can anybody possibly think they know how I feel, Everybody look, See pain, And walk away
And as for you in your uniform, Your smelly uniform, You think you can be rude to me
Because you wear a uniform, A smelly uniform, And so you think you can be rude to me

But even I, As sick as I am, I would never be you
Even I, As sick as I am, I would never be you
Even I, Sick and depraved, A traveller to the grave
I would never be you, I would never be you 

 

Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks driving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie

Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of july

Pale in the flare light
The scared light cracks & disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares
The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load

And I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of july

Now Im in control
Now Im in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember
Your sweet everything
Light a roman candle
And hold it in your hand

Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of july

 

The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight
Have we lost our hope to sorrow

Feels like were all alone
Running further from what's right
And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?

YEAH
OH YEAH
I WANT TO RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD
YEAH
OH YEAH
OH WON'T YOU RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD?

The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running?

Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we're left with nothing

For every life that's taken
So much love is wasted

YEAH
OH YEAH

I WANT TO RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD
YEAH
OH YEAH
OH WON'T YOU RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD?

This world
Only love
Can set it right

This world
If only peace
Would never die

Seems to me that we've got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along?


YEAH
OH YEAH
I WANT TO RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD
YEAH
OH YEAH
OH WON'T YOU RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD?

YEAH
OH YEAH
I WANT TO RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD
YEAH
OH YEAH
OH WON'T YOU RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD?

 

In my hands
A legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not by my side
But there's nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

So sorry your world is tumbling down
I will watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.
