Rock Lyrics & Poetry

redcrane28 said:It’s just like those bratty kids. They basically just recite stuff in high school, so all you ever hear is "remember when." You know what I mean?

Ah, I get it now! (And then people tell me I'm slow to catch on 🙄) 😁

[E]Maybe Denis will show up, maybe [Am]it'll be a colorful day

Man, someone’s really feeling nostalgic for October 😲 🙏

And of course I stumble right onto this after spending my entire weekend buried in the Encyclopedia of Mythology 😢 Dammit, nostalgia is a killer...

MY GENERATION
Pete Townshend of The Who

It feels like they’re just trying to push us down the ladder
(when it comes to my generation)
and they're using the very same rungs we're standing on
(when it comes to my generation)
it’s almost like this world wasn't built with me in mind
(when it comes to my generation)
I just hope I pass away before I go completely senile...
(that's just how my generation is)

You might want to just step aside to avoid any trouble
(when it comes to my generation)
because you're wasting your breath trying to figure us out
(when it comes to my generation)
honestly, why all the fuss and commotion
about a new generation arriving on the scene...
consider this nothing more than a heads-up
this is my generation

Heart - EKV

She hasn't touched a single thing
that could possibly cause any pain
her hands are as pale as ice
her thoughts are pure, convinced that she loves
she believes, she truly believes

She won't show up in the fall
when the leaves begin to drop
she won't come in the winter when the snow falls
she just didn't have the courage
she didn't have it
to stay, to actually stay
right here by my side

Should I even believe it?

I didn't say anything
that could be interpreted as meaningful
I couldn't find those perfect words
the ones that can bind, or perhaps the ones that hurt
the ones she believes in, she believes

She won't be there this autumn....

Because you are the entirety of my pain.... man, EKV is something else🙏

THE CIRCLE

I dreamed up this circle
I brought this circle into being
I shattered this circle
And let the Wind scatter it.
The Wind thinks,
The Wind knows
Everything you and I know.
It loves me,
It carries me,
It breaks me apart.

As if I am weary
And as if I am old
As if it’s all just tedious enough
That Isuvis already knows
I gathered this circle up
And closed it once again
It loves me,
It carries me,
It forgives me.

Like no
And like yes
Like a prohibition
And like permission
Like no, no, no
Like yes, yes, yes
Like a thrill
And like boredom.
I dreamed up this circle
I brought this circle into being
I shattered this circle
And let the Wind scatter it.
Like no
And like yes
Like a prohibition
And like permission
Like no, no, no,
Like yes, yes, yes
Like a thrill, and like boredom.

this song reminds me of something from a long time ago, and something that feels almost too beautiful...

JUST A FEW YEARS LEFT FOR US

A friend and I are sitting on a bench
Watching the stars
Listening to the news that just broke
Thinking about how we still have
Just a few years left for us

We had our toys and we lived through it all
All those games of chance
Those games meant for people
That someone dreamt up
Just a few years ago for us

Do you know how much I want to find you?
Do you know what I need to know?
Love me like you never loved anyone before

Love me the way you never loved anyone else
Love me the way you never loved anyone else

We live in stories; we defend ourselves, we walk, and we celebrate
Some trivial things
Some meaningless chatter
That someone dreamt up
In just a few years for us

Words aren't enough, just ordinary words
To bring me back to life
A touch isn't enough either
Not even to know that I have you
Just a few years left for us

Love me the way you never loved anyone else
Love me the way you never loved anyone else

It grows like hope, like the ocean, like speech
Like movement, like dawn, like a child, like blood
Like the desire between us
It grows like pain
And bites at everything right before our eyes

Love me the way you never loved anyone else
Love me the way you never loved anyone else

😢

Just one more... uh

EKV

Pull back the curtains
and watch the city wake up
The Lights flicker on
while a quiet longing burns inside you
Even now, those demons are lurking in your sleeve
and every fingernail hides the poison of love

You are my entire heartache...

Testing the limits of oblivion
Obaras an alibi
choosing a role just like picking out a dress for the night
In passing, the scent of the night catches me
and whispers
Wake up
Get moving...

SOUL'S KITCHEN
Jim Morrison «The Doors»

Well, I guess it’s finally time for me to head out,
the clock is telling me it's getting late,
though honestly, I’d love to just stay right here all night long...
With my eyes all heavy, the car seems to be drifting somewhere,
while the streetlights flicker aimlessly outside,
and my mind is just lost in this dull, beautiful wonder,
but I still have a way to go,
I still have a path to follow...

Just let me sleep a while in the kitchen of your soul,
to warm my spirit by the gentle glow of your hearth...
Don't push me away, because if I can't find peace here,
I'll just sink into the neon swamp of my own soul...

Your fingers weave tall spires,
speaking in a secret alphabet
as I find myself reaching for another cigarette,
learning how to let things go,
just letting them fade,
forgetting everything, one thing at a time...

And there it is, the clock says I really should be leaving,
I know it's time to move on,
but man, I wish I could stay here through the whole night,
all night long, all night...
