LET'S HAVE SOME EMO
"now and again it seems worse than it is,
but mostly the view is accurate.
you see your breath in the air
as you climb up the stairs to
that coffin you call your apartment.
and you sink in your chair,
brush the snow from your hair
and drink the cold away"
C'MON GUYS, EXPUNGE SOME PAIN
okay!
"Everyone I know is staring down the barrel of an empty cup. They're killing themselves trying to fill it back up because someone somewhere convinced someone else that anything less than full is empty. All my friends are falling apart. Everyone I know is full of shit. Everyone I know is contagious (medicated). All my friends should be quarantined. Everyone I know is an expert on everybody's problems. They go around polluting each other's heads. It's Christmas time for bad advice in well-intended packages but no one's on duty to handle returns. I've been lucky enough to stay out of the mess. Everyone is holding their breath waiting for me to fall down too. But I'm in love with all my friends. I'm failing in and out of love all the time. I'm equally embarrassed and impressed hoping to trim 'everyone I know' down to 'everyone I love.' All my friends are full of shit. Everyone I know is gonna make it somehow. Everyone I know is just like me wishing all my friends were everyone I know."
oh wait oops
Emo? Pah!
Emo types don't have the monopoly on depressive lyrics! Something Vague has to be my favourite Bright Eyes track but yes, fairly bleak.
...
Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky.
And nobody seems to know where you go.
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen?
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air.
And nobody ever knows when you go.
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
