Soon we’re heading to a place
Where I’ll prove
I’m all you want and more
You need to let it unfold
Just like you’re told

Your secret’s safe
And no one has to know
I’m your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so good

I could have sworn
We disappeared tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don’t you know
I just appeared tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see us
Don’t talk, don’t walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

I just cannot tell you how amused I am by this. It’s a dual blade, though, and it twists at the heart of a pathology that I finally recognize in me (as of this week as it has evolved already) and other aspects outside of me. Granted, of course, that just about every member of the band is hot enough to burn down my blog anyway—but that’s just a bonus for some.


The lips that slip are the lips that press
And the lips that leak seem to know you best
I put bodies into motion Keep this skin out in the open
Liars turn me on

Bed spread bandit since ‘89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky

Bounce Bounce baby, Bounce back to me
Bounce bounce baby, Bounce back to me
This is it, call it quits with honesty
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me

The only negative of hatch day was that my half-heartedly promised birthday gift didn’t happen and I had a glimmer of thinking (there’s my real problem: thinking) that maybe it might pan out today. But, this game is just a game. Oh well. I’m rewinding to Sunday’s resolutions. Maybe. I think. Probably. If I can. But not out of spite, but out of love and out of self-preservation and—mostly—out of continued hope.

These have to be watched in order so that the million dollar question can be asked: is it where we start or where we end that matters most …?

As wicked as you are
You’re beautiful to me

There you stood in disbelief,
trying all you could to see through these lies
And every word that I could breathe,
would find you more inclined to leave, but I tried
And knowing what I’ve done to you,
with every thought you suffer through
My heart as black as evil can
And everything I could have been,
erased by what I wanted then
I couldn’t think a lesser man

All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales

I wish I could be
As cruel as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can’t and I won’t live a lie
No, not this time

For those who have ears to hear: it’s all I have left to say.

Foundations

In the end we’re all just chalk lines on the concrete
Drawn only to be washed away
For the time that I’ve been given
I am what I am

I’d rather hate you
For everything you are
Than ever love you
For something you are not

I’d rather you hate me
For everything I am
Than have you love me
For something that I can’t …

Its never enough
Its never enough
No matter what I say

Endgame

I’d give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It’s already over, already over now!

Give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it’s already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again!

Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

Most Christian songs that get to me or impress me are deeper than the average "give your heart and soul (and money) to the Crucified" (which bore me to hell—no pun intended) and they certainly aren’t the "moralizing" kind. But I do find that every once in a while some song gets under my skin.

This is one I’ve heard on the radio and my interpretation was very, very different from the video. I heard it again in the car the other day while Jinx and I were out. The little girl at the end caught Jinx’s attention and he looked at me funny. It’s rare for him to hear "kids" in a song.

Metal Goals

But this song really does get under my skin. I’m sure it’ll be obvious why. And before anyone decides I’m being snarky at anyone, consider that I’m probably being more snarky at myself than not here—even if the "event" in the video doesn’t really point at me personally. That is most definitely not the point that I walked away with here.

People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Think about that.

The sun is rising
The screams have gone
Too many have fallen
Few still stand tall
Is this the ending
Of what we’ve begun?
Will we remember
What we’ve done wrong?

When we start killing
It’s all coming down right now
From the night that we’ve created
I wanna be awakened somehow
(I wanna be awakened right now)

Yes. I am aware that this is a game trailer (for a game I really wish to play too!) but it is the official video too. However, that said, I don’t care what gender you are; if you don’t find Sharon den Adel hot, then you just have no pulse.

It’s in this wake that I find myself
Losing the will to resume this Hell
When every breath is a dying wish
It’s harder to follow the point of this

This broken place that I call my home
Has deepened the sorrow that I have sown
And I can’t erase what is in my heart
I want it to finish before it starts

My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to its red

And open my fate to the darkened sky

I guess it’s good that most of our things are still in boxes.


My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I’m leaving out
Today
