pj lyrics stuck in your mind's soundtrack for the day

this morning i've been walking around singing all of Severed Hand, but i tend to keep repeating the closing section in my head...
If I don't lose control
Explore and not explode
A preternatural other plane
With the power to maintain
Like a tear in all we know
Once dissolved we are free to grow
What is human? What is more?
I'll answer this when I get home
yeah. it really makes me want to try... um... drinking Red Bull.0 -
'Nor for You' has been in my head all day. I haven't even listened to it in a few days, but it was my first thought this morning. Especially this part:
All that's sacred comes from youth
Dedication, naive and true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, never was for you...fuck you...
This is not for you...
Oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...
This is not for you...
Oh, not for you...
Oh, you...
Damn, it gets to me today.How dark a woe! yet how sublime a hope!
How silently serene a sea of pride!
How daring an ambition! yet how deep--
How fathomless a capacity for love!0 -
he could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
a bad time, nothing could save him
alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
he got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles
he made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
the wind rose up, set him down on his knee
a wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw,
delivered him wings, "hey look at me now..."
arms wide open with the sea as his floor
oh, oh, oh...
he's flying, whole!
high! wide! oh...
he floated back down cause he wanted to share
his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
by faceless men, well fuckers...he still stands
and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly...
flying! whole...
high! flying! whole...
he's flying! woah...
high... woah... oh...If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.0 -
Had "Insignifficance" all day long in my head:
"Bombs dropping down
Pease forgive our hometown
In our insignifficance..."
Don't exactly know why...0 -

I was in Best Buy today wearing my band wagon t shirt, while pushing my daughter around in a cart. A little guy in a blue best buy shirt started singing "don't call me daughter" as I walked in front of him. I was so focused on what I was there to do that I didn't realize til much later that I had been singing Daughter the rest of the time I was shopping. I wish he would have spoken to me about the band instead. because before that I had been jonesing on Crown of Thorns for days, and was really enjoying it. "Have you ever heard a story, about Mr. Faded Glory" and I felt in synch with the world around me. NOW b/c of some little guy, I'm stuck on daughter. Thanks dude.I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine. I Am Mine

Love this song..... I am so touched Eddie wrote it about his mom...anyone know if this is really true...
lyrics:
he lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
I just always think not only of his mom/mom's circumstances.......but moreso, the millions of women (or who knows..men too) who stay with someone they know isn't right for them because they "can't find a better man/woman."
what do you think???0 -
what the fuck is this world running to
you didn't leave a message
at least i coulda' learned your voice one last time
daily minefield, this could be my time by your...
would you hit me?
would you hit me?
all the bills go by, and initiatives are taken up by the middle
there ain't gonna be any middle any more
and the cross i'm bearing home
ain't indicative of my place
left the porch
left the porch
hear my name, take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand, walk beside me
i just need to say...
hear my name, take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand, lie beside me i just need to say
i could not take a-just one day
i know when i would not ever
TOUCH you...
HOLD you...
FEEL you...in my arms...
never again...If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.0 -

it is one of my all-time fave pj tunes. who knows how 'true' it is or not..have heard that often enough, but only ed could truly answer that.
i think no matter what, the song resonates for many b/c no matter the situation...we all can identify with the idea of 'settling'...and no one wants to do that.
besides the fact...some of the most beautiful imagery present lyrically......"she dreams in color, she dreams in red..." as an artist, i love the symbolism...color theory is such an interest of mine...and red in particular has powerful meaning, a very potent color. ed is not unique in choosing such a color, it is mentioned in many, many songs.....but just goes to show it's strength of imagery....and it's simply a damn fine song.love it.
also, to put another spin on it...i think many times, one does not even realize they are settling...can't find a better man/woman...until after a good deal of time passes within their relationship and then it becomes oh so clear and amazingly so. so i think the idea of 'dreaming' of it...probably very true....that elusive 'something' missing, that you can't quite put your finger on...until there it is, a clear vision at last...and up to you to stop dreaming, and make it a reality.
yes, i truly love this song...never leaves me.beautifully sad....but somehow i like to think while we don't find out within the song, but hopefully all that dreaming does lead to more in life...or i like to think/hope so.
for me, this has been in my head the past couple days...
And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -
With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...
Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,
Together... but we were... miles apar...t
Every inch between us becomes light years now...
No need to be void,... or save up on life...
You got to spend it all.....
man, i just sooo love those lines.
so true.Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -
got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaveonly love can break your heart
but only love can brake your fall0 -
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...

I've kind of been in a fatalistic for mankind mood lately, also I drive by the beginning phase of this huge construction site every day and for some reason a snippet from "Do the Evolution" just keeps rattling around my brain.
On the loose, I'm a truck.
All the rolling hills I'll flatten em out yeah.one foot in the door
the other foot in the gutter
sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother

Do I trick them? Iiii don't think they're that dumb...
Personally, I really like this song, but damn, is it ever annoying to have it stuck in your head for extended periods of time.
Their eggs in my head.Exponentially serving. Perpetually unnerving. Vehicle swerving.

So long

The currents will shift
Glide me towards youStay with me...
Let's just breathe...
