i will walk with my hands bound
i will walk with my face blood
i will walk with my shadow flag
into your garden, garden of stone
&
dear dad, can you see me now
i am myself, like you somehow
&
we were but stones - your light made us stars
&
you are a tower of strength to me
the darkening hour sees light again
&
i remember when you sang that song about today
now is tomorrow and everything has changed
&
vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
cannot find the comfort in this world
&
there's a girl on a ledge, who's got nowhere to turn
because all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern
she can blame the world...or pray til dawn
but only love...can break her fall
&
...
En mi vida,
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre
Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti
This is one of my all-time favorites! Again, the word usage here is stunning ... I know so much about the person he's writing about, just from these few words.
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 1963
Do you see the way that tree bends, does it inspire?
I will stand arms out stretched, pretend I'm free to roam.
Sorry I just had to pick two.:p
« One man's glory is another man's hell.
You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down
You down...you down...you down
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
and...
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'
#==(o )
You are not your job.
You are not how much money you have in the bank.
You are not the car you drive.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your fucking khakis.
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star...in somebody else's sky...but why...why...why can't it be mine?"
I can't imagine if the end of Black is realy sad. Yes, it's true that he loses her. But he will be happy, if she finds her satisfaction in her life.
And man, who can realy do that in his life, must have a big, unselfish heart.
Could you do this in the same situation?
I would...
Because there are greater feelings in our life than love.
Okay, love is a beautiful thing...but if you realy love someone, I mean, love so strong, that you would do everything for this person....
If you realy love so much...
...you know, that there is no greater feeling in this world...that to see your loving person happy.
So I think, that Black is not so pesimistic at all.
He loved her. He still loves her. And she left. He is sad, but he'll get over. Why?
Because his love will live on anyway.
And he will be happy, when she finds her goals in her life.
That is more than love.
I'm sure, that everyone had found himself in the same situation.
It's hard to lose someone special in your life.
I've lost someone.
And now, he's a star.
Not in my sky.
But I'm happy.
He's still mine. Not with me, but still...
and yes...
....I ask myself...why can't it be? Mine?
But that's the way it is...
I just want to scream...
...hello!!!
My god its been six years...
never dreamed...
...you'd return.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why can't it be mine?
Seems like a popular answer around here...
What gives it that much more strength is that it comes right at the apex of the song. Along with the rising music it just resonates through your body.
Apart from the obvious from Black, the following line gets me everytime. It's fucking brilliant!
"Saw things so much clearer,
Once you were in my rearviewmirror"
I'd also just like to say that Eddie is one of those guys that can sing the words "I love you" throughout an entire song and not sound cheesy. Same thing with Robert Smith. It's a talent these people have. You actually believe them, as opposed to *insert any pop artist here*, where their words are hollow and meaningless.
From "Dissident":
"And to this day she's clouded on
always home but so far away
like a word misplaced,
nothing said what a waste"
(I hope I got that right)
The sense of despair and lonesomeness and loss comes through in those phrases. I can almost see the woman he's describing. I think that "Dissident" is a song a writer could build a novel around.
Totally agree with: "I'd also just like to say that Eddie is one of those guys that can sing the words "I love you" throughout an entire song and not sound cheesy".
I have fallen in love with no code again especially...
My fingertips they close your eyes.
Off you dream my little child.
"the sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied..."
Very true and very beautifully put...well, I love love love all of "I Am Mine", but that line really stuck out for me when I was fighting a breakdown and denying I had any signs or symptoms of depression...I remembered that line and cried my eyes out...
But I'm all better now -- and I still find that line significant and very true. Grieve when you have to, allow yourself to feel sad...
"no time to be void and save up on life, you gotta spend it all." -that line in light years has been my favorite line since i heard it the first time. isn't it the truth???
No time to be void and save up on life, you gotta spend it all.

This is, this is
This is, this is
This is, this is
My...last exit
Let me run into the rain / To be a human light again
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
“Put yer good money on the sunrise”
(Tim Rogers)
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
if nothing is everythiing, i have it all
Non PJ(the boss):
Fear's a powerful thing
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your heart filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
i've had this running through my head all day
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down
You down...you down...you down
Couldn't agree more...
"Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed, then on their way..."
Make me cry
and...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky

You are not your fucking khakis.
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
...
To myself I... surrender
To the one I'll never please
...
can't buy what I want because it's free
...
You don't have to stray
Two oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
I will be...
I will be...
There once more.........
...
Feel like a question is forming
and the answers far
I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town
To the one I'll never please
"The empty chair where dad sits...How Loud can Silence get."
"I thought the world...turns out the world thought me."
"and just one wish could bring her baaaaaack, It's Sad"
Pretty much all of Present Tense as well.

1 line of many that I love, the guy is an amazing poet!!!!
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream

be strong. be proud. be you.
