>And all of the angels, they'd sell off your soul
>For a set of new wings and anything gold
>They remember the people they loved, their old friends
>And I've seen through 'em all
>Seen through 'em all
>And seen through most everything
>All the people you knew were the actors
>All the people you knew were the actors
Spose - I'm Awesome
>I don't wanna feel this anymore
>But if I don't that's fake
>I don't wanna do this anymore
>But there's nothing else to take
>I don't love
>I don't feel anything
>I don't feel anything where this love should be
I thought that i was dreaming when you said you loved me
>and you are my center
>when i spin away
>out of control on
>videotape
>on videotape
>I wake up and the phone is ringing
>Surprised, as it's early
>And that should be a perfect warning
>That something's a problem
>To tell the truth I saw it coming
>The way you were breathing
>But nothing can prepare you for it
>The voice on the other end
>When you cycled by
>Here began all my dreams
>The saddest thing I've ever seen
>And you never knew
>How much I really liked you
>Because I never even told you
>Oh, and I meant to
>Are you still there or have you moved away ?
>Or have you moved away?
Good song
>I keep going over it over and over
>My steps iterate my shame
>How come every outcome's such a comedown?
>Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
>I kept saying I just wanted to see you
>Saying, "What's wrong with that?"
>Needles shaking outlines in a compass
>Every outcome's such a comedown
>I like your smile
>And your fingertips
>I like the way that you move your hips
>I like the cool way you look at me
>Everything about you is bringing me misery
>mephistopheles is just beneath
>and is reaching out
>TO GRAB ME
btw do you know what does it mean?
>Gonna take a spaceship
>Fly back to the stars
>Alien observer
>In a world that isn't mine
Does anyone do emotional alienation as well as Liz Harris (Grouper)?
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
>I used to think there was an answer in the music of my youth
>But I just read Brian Wilsons biography and now I know the truth
>Because his father never loved him
>And the band just wanted the money
>And Dennis was an alcoholic
>Who drowned looking for treasure
>And everyone who was around him
>Just gave him drugs and took his money
>He was dependent on social acceptance
>Just like every other human
no not really desu, but for me it always sounds like the final moments of someone who fell off a boat into the ocean and didnt know how to swim, so in their last moments of life they were remembering all of the stuff they did and the person they loved the most.
then they die in the end.
as far as the specific phrase then it sounds like mephistopheles (a demon from Faust) is trying to grab the singer while he waits for st peter to open the gates for whatever reason. idk the details but i've always loved the image that this song puts in my head
>Life is very long, when you're lonely
>The ghost of her floats over there
>And the smile, the smile, it seemed so lonely
>She gave me her hand as they struck up the band
>And she seemed to say, she seemed to say ‘you're the only'
>And we danced like two snowflakes
>In the falling wind, in the wind
>And do me a favor God
>Won't you let Marlene come in
>The gymnasium floor, the brass-bound door
>The jungle bird, the jungle bird that you showed me
>Her love was so clean, to tell the truth, Marlene
>The sound of your tambourinestill haunts me
Jackson C. Frank's life was a tragedy, yet he made some of the most beautiful song I've ever heard
>mfw the only album to make me cry is Jackson C. Frank (self titled)

WHEN YOU TRY YOUR BEST AND YOU DON'T SUCCEED
That's the real meaning my man
So let's say nothing some more
'Cause this is something more than me
And I got what I need by sleeping
When I should have been alive.
It still gives me sand but clouds my eyes.
I thought about the rust, the quote on the ledge
About "living on that great consciousness of life"
Oh what we frame and hang to get by.
Whatever keeps your heart light
Whatever keeps you is alright by me.
Maybe I don't wanna talk about how
This life laid me down
Or how I saw the change
'Cause I didn't see you every day
I spoke in looks, it's what the leaving took.
A lack of noise isn't a lack of life.
And that's the way I think it's always been
'Cause I say it all when I say nothing some more.
So let's say nothing some more
And let the words burn their way across the floor.
'Cause if these walls could talk
I still couldn't get over a god damn soul.
And I can't hold smoke
So let's say nothing some more
'Cause the sand stays with me
So let's say nothing some more
'Cause the sand keeps you.
Am I what’s wrong?
Well what’s right?
Stop trusting in demons
You’re scattered ever lonely buddy, but so full of love
Please stop repeating your terror you choose what you see
It’s always “What if?” and “Why not?”
Man, you gotta just be
Simplify, define your goals and watch them grow
Be your own true self; the you that I know
As a severely depressed person it resonates. For the last 6 months I've been trying to work on myself and making some progress. It's been hard for so long.
>And we'll both take our revenge
>But it won't make us feel any better
Those lines always get me also
>Curse my enemies forever
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy
I stand alone in the darkness
The winter of my life came so fast
Memories go back to my childhood
To days I still recall
Oh how happy I was then
There was no sorrow, there was no pain
Walking through the green fields
Sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
Would you wait for me forever?
youtube.com
Oh I know
My life's not gonna change
And I live
Through all these wasted days
Never thought
That I'd end up this way
And I know
It's gonna stay the same
I thought I would be more than this
I thought I would be more than this
I thought I would be more than this
I thought I would be more than this
And I know
I'm losing all my time
Doesn't seem
Like it was ever mine
Didn't seem
My own I don't know why
Getting tired
Of living 'till I die
>Planet earth is blue
>and there's nothing I can do
simple but great
>Slide to the left
>Slide to the right
>Take it back now y'all
>One hop this time
>Right foot let's stomp
>Left foot let's stomp
>Cha cha real smooth
fuckin kek
...
>oh someday I know someone will look into my eyes and say
>"hello! You're my very special one!"
Not to be
Overly (overly) dramatic
I just think it's best
Cause you can't miss what you forget
So lets just pretend
Everything and
Anything between you and me
Was never meant
love u man
i don't want to get into who does what better but liz is pretty special

People get cancer and die.
People get hit by trucks and die.
And you said what about the time outside? And I said what about the hours inside crumbling to dust? And you said what about the powders? And I said what about the fluids? And you said what about the cowards? And I said what about me, what are you trying to say?
And I said what about me, what are you trying to say? And you said what do you think we’re doing here? And I said what about the night, and you said what about the colors, what about the flowers, what about your brothers, what about the sin of my father that I ate, and it made me sick for days and days and days and days and days? And you said what about the morning, what about the pain, what about the art, what about the shame, what about the artist, what about the rain, what about the colors as they all run down your face? I said what do you think I’m doing here, and you don’t know do you. And you said what do you think we’re doing here, and I just laughed.
>go fuck yourself
>you heard me right
wow thanks a lot jerk
You lay there
So still dog
Your transformed, dying face will recede with time
Is what our counselor said
Who we walked to every Monday, holding hands
Slower every week with your breathing
Until we had to drive
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
Cause it's getting heavy
Well I thought it was
Already as heavy as can be
Tell everybody waiting for Superman
That they should try to hold on best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
OH
I DON'T KNOW WHATS REAL
>tfw NEVER experienced teenage love
Move in now move out
Hands up now hands down
Back up back up
Tell me what you're gonna do now
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON ME
YOU'RE ALREADY THE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD
(I miss you...)
>Is it ok to be in love with something dead?
>I don't want to live through winter
>I dont want to see everything ending
>I'll just stand on the meadow
>I'll be taken by sunbeams, so goodbye
Not really sure why but both the vocoder and non vocoder versions make me like a weird happy sad
Like I'm super upset but it's all ok
Is there a name for this feel?
Same
>>oh someday I know someone will look into my eyes and say
>>"hello! You're my very special one!"
>But if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again.
>Try not to picture that silver ring
>On his bony fingers it lingers still
>Try not to picture the world he sees
>Through the fog of memories and ill-will
>Hope you’re not bitter at the songs he sings
>How in hushed and whimpered whispers they slither
>Try not to picture your bear trapped
>In a razor-wire cage made from his thoughts
>And from his dreams and the nightmares in between
>And never think about the lies you pushed into his head
>And never think about the nights he wishes he were dead
>And never wonder even once if maybe you’re to blame
>And never worry, never worry, never worry, never worry
>Hold on Magnolia
>I know what a true friend you've been
>In my life I have had my doubts
>But tonight I think I've worked it out with all of them
what's the story behind that? did a google search but can't find the context. You can hear the pain, it is definitely based on something that happened and i wanna know what
Band is Patron Saint of Bridge Burners, that whole album is fucking heartbreaking. Easily the most genuinely pained lyrics and vocals I've ever heard, there's one song on that album where he starts crying mid-sentence.
I have no clue what the context is, but probably a break up.
>Okay. So no one's answering.
>Guess I'll just let it ring a little longer LONGER LONGER longer oh
>I'll just sit tight, with the shadows of the night
>And let it ring forevermore
>Sarah smile
>Wont you smile a while for me Sarah
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>you jump into the water but
>the fire's inside
>I've got to let go
>I've got to get straight
>Why'd you have to make it so hard?
>Let me get away
>How could I
>Ever think
>It's funny how
>Everything you swore would never change
>Is different now
>Like you said
>You and me
>Make it through
>Didn't quite
>Fell apart
>Where the fuck were you?
Also for the same reason
>And at 15, I thought I’d have it down by 16
>And now 24 is breathing at my face
...
God damn, the Bonnaroo version of Videotape is fucking brilliant. Energetic and depressing at the same time.
>Dear God how have you been then?
>I'm not fine, fuck pretending
>All of this death your sendiiiiiiing
>Best throw some free heart mending
>Invite you in my heart, then
>When done, my sins forgiveeeeen?
>This God of mine relaxes
>World dies I still pay taxeeeeees
>where the world's ugliest boy
>became what you see
>here I am - the ugliest man
Goddamn
And he never found that stability 20 years later
How did I remember that was Modest Mouse
I had to google it to remember but I knew it was Modest Mouse
and when im lying in my bed
i think about life and i think about death
and neither one
particularly
appeals to me
>When you laugh about people who feel so very lonely
>Their only desire is to die
>Well, I'm afraid
>It doesn't make me smile
>I wish I could laugh
>I couldn't gauge your fears
>I can't relate to my pierce
>I'd rather live outside
>I'd rather chip my pride than lose my mind out here
>Maybe I'm a fool
>Maybe I should move
>And settle, two kids and a swimming pool
>I'm not brave (brave)
>I'm not brave
>This is not my life
>It's not what I'm like
>It's just a fond farewell to a friend
>I'd do anything for you, anything for you
>(In the dark)
>Should've kissed you there
>I should've held your face
>I should've watched those eyes
>Instead of run in place
>I should've called you out
>I should've said your name
>I should've turned around
>I should've looked again
>But ohh, I'm staring at the mess I made
>I'm staring at the mess I made
>I'm staring at the mess I made
>As you turn, you take your heart and walk away

Yet another, as an adult
Today is my birthday
In my dimly lit room
A single candle birthday celebration
I wonder if anyone remembered?
How old should I say I am?
No, no, I'm fine by myself
Yeah, so no one pity me
Don't smile at me!
Above the candle
Memories flicker and wane
I want to put it out In one breath
But those memories I cherish them so
Everyone
Everyone has gone away
Everyone I love is so far
One year ago, I was laughing
But before I knew it I'm all alone
No one is by my side
They've left me all on my own!
No one is by my side!
How long is it gonna be like this, by myself?
Above the single candle
Memories flicker and wane
The flame, and everything else I'm going to put it out
Happy birthday
>ALL THAT YOU LEFT
>YOU LEFT FOR SOMEONE
>ALL OF THIS HURT THAT'S WILTED OFF
>ALL THIS RELIEF
>IT'S THE ODDEST THING
>OH MY GOD
>OH MY GOD
>OH MY GOD
>OH MY GOD
I’ll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I’ll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
I’m not living
I’m just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
>The signal interrupted
My baby's frequency not strong enough
Remain in my hands and smile
>you drug me with kindness
>so I can pretend I exist
>crocodile life span
>isn't very long
>even when he's gone
>he loves you
>And if you see my friend
>I thought I would again
>A single thin straight line
>I thought we had more time
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL
>down in a hole
>feeling so small
I saw you standing there and
Well I, Well
I can't be trusted
I'm lost without a reason
But I think I could love you if only you would stop
Staring at me
When the sentences I make don't turn out right
I cannot handle it
No, don't take it as an insult
I only wish you were staring at me
When I roll over because I can't sleep at night
Or when I'm smiling because there's snow falling outside
Or when the brakes lock and we're clearly gonna die
I'm gonna grab your arm and scream "I love you!"
I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU
>I know it's been so long
>Since we saw each other last
>I'm sure we'll find some way
>To make the time pass
>Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
>Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
>Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
>The time is gone, the song is over
>Thought I'd something more to say
these
kek
>Surprise, sometimes, will come around
>I will surprise you sometime. I'll come around
>When you're down...
>when the real dawn came I saw it crawl over the hill
>and I felt clean and shook my hair out in the light
>I looked up and hurt my eyes on the painful powerful sky
>I looked down and I felt motion under me
I don't know why but that part always overwhelms me with emotion
>I used to run, I was wild and free
>But I was lost, like no man should ever be
>Until the day when you took my hand
>And led me from that life to this Promised Land
>And I thank you from my heart
>And I thank you from my soul
>And pray we never part
>Til bells in heaven toll
> It's dumb
> And I don't wanna learn anything from this
> I love you
Hey, moon
it's just you and me tonight
Just fuck me up Trent f a m
Man I wish I could understand Snowing's lyrics
the acoustic version destroys me so much more than the album piano version
>the last of something bright burning
>still burning
>beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
>you were a presence full of light on this earth
>and I am witness to your life and it's worth
>it's three days later when I get the call
>and there's nobody around to break my fall
>Like the time that our friend Chuck came over to our house
>He said he needed somebody to take care of his pets
>Cause he was going out of town
>I asked him “Where?” and he said “New Mexico.”
>I asked if I could get a ride
>He said: “No, you don’t want to follow me
>Where it is I’m going.”
>He pulled out of the drive way
>That was the last time we saw him
>Cause he drove straight to his parent’s cabin
>And put a bullet in his head
>Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
>Keep on loving. Keep on fighting
>And hold on, and hold on
>Hold on for your life
>I don't love.
>I don't feel anything.
>I don't feel anything where this love should be.
don't do this to me you faggot don't you fucking do this to me
...
I just wanted to say that all of these specific lyrics hit me hard in the past.
Not feeling these feels alone anons.
>But what I gave you made him get mad
>A little bit funny how a thing like that
>Could travel from one mouth in through another and
>The next thing you know you gotta hear it from your brother and
>The words they sting like a stump of old wasps
>Do you remember when I said go throw the rock in there?
>And we ran through the woods to our good house
>And you forgot about the things that he could say like
>"I don't think that I like you anymore"
>Well I found new feelings at the feeling store
>And I can't find you at our kissing place
>And I'm scared of those new pair of eyes you have
youtube.com
>These are only words and artificial tones
>We're just skin and bones playing telephone with things that were probably never said at all
>This World is stitched with schemes
>Where once there was reality
>It's hard to reach across the unbelievable distances
>Between what we really are and who we claim to be
>And the irony engine isn't lost on me
>The shame is that we saw it coming
>In the faces of the young among us on crayon and paper drawings
>The clearest writing on the wall we could ever ask for
>What do they believe?
>Where are all their fathers? Where are all their mothers?
>Who left them there alone with a television remote like some philosopher's stone
>Figure it out on your own, child
>If I still have anything to say, I'll try to make it plain
>Contrivance is a luxury I don't have in the time that's left before the madness overtakes me
>I'm a voice among the voices
>The roar of whispers closes in
>The point seems to be pointless
>And I've forgotten who I am...
>No one has to be that strong
>But if you're stubborn like me
>I know what you're trying to be
