"Aujourd'hui, rien ne ressemble à ce mystère du premier jour, à cette violence tendre qui pousse à arracher au spectacle des êtres une personne, une seule, et partir avec elle à l'assaut des rues et des étoiles, se jeter dans son rêve, arpenter sa peau et son histoire et croire que l'on devient invincible." (Yves Simon, la dérive des sentiments)
Thart orainn
Reált geal san oíche
Tá'n fharraige chiúin
Agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth
An fharraige chiúin
Ina codladh sa ghaoth
Thíos sa ghleann an ghleann an cheo
Riocht na gréine i gCaisleán Óir
Tá'n fharraige chiúin agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth
An fharraige chiúin ina codladh sa ghaoth
Driocht a mheall na daoine roinn
Soilse geala i gCaisleán Óir
Tá'n fharraige chiúin agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth
An fharraige chiúin ina codladh sa ghaoth
Manstu fyrst flugtakið,
manstu fyrsta snertingin,
kossinn uppi‘ á þaki,
nóttin horfði grafkyrr.
Manstu þunga sorgin,
Manstu‘ öll ljótu orðin,
ég meinti ekkert af því,
ég var týnd og alein.
Hvort stingur meira að
halda‘ í það sem var
eða kveðja og sleppa,
spyr en hef ekker svar.
Tvö þúsund tár
sem ég valdi sjálf,
ég gekk í burt
þegar við þurftum hjálp.
Reyni‘ að segja sjálfri mér
við hefðum ekkert geta gert
en það eina sem ég á eftir er minningin og sektarkennd
og djúp sár sem að gróa hægt.
Endalausar hugsanir,
hvað var það sem truflaði?
Get ég farið til baka?
Ný orð og önnur saga.
En hvað myndi breytast ef
að ég tæki mig til og ég sneri aftur við?
Spyr en hef ekkert svar.
Tvö þúsund tár
sem ég valdi sjálf,
ég gekk í burt
þegar við þurftum hjálp.
Reyni‘ að segja sjálfri mér
við hefðum ekkert geta gert
en það eina sem ég á eftir er minningin og sektarkennd
og djúp sár sem að gróa hægt.
Heita lífsins loga
Leggur yfir fjöllin dimm og grá
Spenna skýjaboga
Sveipaða í ævaforna þrá
Í þögninni þú bíður eftir vori
Og brennur þögull inn í nýjan dag
Bjartar glæður brjóta leið
Úr brúnum tindanna
Flæða um kaldan mel og úfið hjarn
Er gekkstu um sem barn
Veistu elsku vinur
Veröldin er bæði björt og hlý
Er klettaborgin hrynur
Hamingjan mun finna þig á ný
Í þögninni þú biður eftir vori
Og brennur þögull inn í nýjan dag
Bjartar glæður brjóta leið
Úr brúnum tindanna
Flæða um kaldan mel og úfið hjarn
Er gekkstu um sem barn
Learning how to live when there's no one around
It's like learnin' how to feel when the drugs run out
You can see my scars 'cause I'm wearin' 'em proud
Even with my broken parts, I feel better now
If I could crawl in the mind
And give any advice to my younger self
Find something you can hold onto
Find someone who'll be there for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find somewhere you can come home to
Find someone that'll die for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
It's hard to tell the truth when you lie to yourself
Always give too much of you to someone else
I'm talkin' to you now like we're old friends
It'll never be too late to start again
Find something you can hold onto
Find someone who'll be there for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find somewhere you can come home to
Find someone that'll die for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find something you can hold onto
Find someone who'll be there for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Find somewhere you can come home to
Find someone that'll die for you
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
Is love, love, love
Love, love, love
That's all that really matters in the end
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
The cycle repeated As explosions broke in the sky All that I needed Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn Waiting to let me know
We're building it up To break it back down We're building it up To burn it down We can't wait To burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted As the flames climbed into the clouds I wanted to fix this But couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn Caught in the burning glow And I was there at the turn Waiting to let you know
We're building it up To break it back down We're building it up To burn it down We can't wait To burn it to the ground
You told me, "Yes," You held me high And I believed when you told that lie I played soldier, you played king And struck me down, when I kissed that ring You lost that right, to hold that crown I built you up, but you let me down So when you fall, I'll take my turn And fan the flames As your blazes burn
And you were there at the turn Waiting to let me know
We're building it up To break it back down We're building it up To burn it down We can't wait To burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn And fan the flames As your blazes burn
We can't wait To burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn And fan the flames As your blazes burn
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's opened if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining...
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there? 'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven, too?
Come lay beside me, this won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there? 'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven, too?
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there? 'Cause I'm the one who waits,
The one who waits for you....
Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you? (so I dub thee Unforgiven)
Oh, what I've felt...
Oh, what I've known...
I take this key (never free...)
And I bury it (never me...) in you
Because you're unforgiven, too...
Never free...
Never me...
'Cause you're unforgiven, too...
Oh
You got a face not spoiled by beauty I have some scars from where I've been You've got eyes that can see right through me You're not afraid of anything they've seen
I was told that I would feel Nothing the first time I don't know how these cuts heal But in you I found a rhyme
If there is a light You can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark That we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out
And this is a song A song for someone This is a song A song for someone
You let me in to a conversation A conversation only we could make You break and enter my imagination Whatever's in there it's yours to take
I was told I'd feel Nothing the first time You were slow to heal But this could be the night
If there is a light You can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark Within and without And there is a light Don't let it go out
And this is a song A song for someone This is a song A song for someone
And I'm a long way From your hill of Calvary And I'm a long way From where I was, where I need to be
If there is a light You can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth And there is a light Don't let it go out
I need you right here, by my side
You're everything I'm not in my life.
We're indestructible, we are untouchable
Nothing can take us down tonight
You are so beautiful, it should be criminal
That you could be mine.
And we will make it out alive
I'll promise you this love will never die!
No matter what, I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
So believe me when I say, you're the one
They'll never forgive us for the things we've done
And we will make it out alive
I'll promise you this love will never die!
No matter what, I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
We'll never fall, we'll never fade
I'll promise you forever and my soul today
No matter what until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
And everybody said that we would never last,
And if they saw us now I bet they'd take it back
It doesn't matter what we do or what we say
'Cause nothing matters anyway!
No matter what, I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
We'll never fall (We'll never fall)
We'll never fade (We'll never fade)
No matter what until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
You said you don't wanna die but still you want to go to heaven Heaven's not a place that you can scare me into changing everything that I believe in Leavin' what is keeping you from walkin' out the door and livin' life like there's a reason Reason is the fear of change will leave a person locked inside a dark and mental prison Prisoners of war, the war is media, they feed to you graffiti up your vision Visionary super scary future they will shoot ya' they will loot ya' they are killin' Killin' power of the power that exists above us is a problem - it's a sentence Sentence you to pull and push and jump, when they say jump you say how high There is no limit Limit what they sell and what they're givin'
Even if the whole world knows I don't give a damn about what they think I don't have to stand up to your gun I don't have to sit down when you say Tell me I'm overboard The truth is you just want to see me sink If there's any room left on that ship You don't have to save any room for me Cause I've got my own boat (even when it rains) I'm doing my own thing (even when it rains) And I will stay afloat - even when it rains Cause I've got my own boat Row, row your boat Row, row your boat Row your boat
They marchin' up the street they wanna fight they don't want peace Peace of what you have they snatch and grab They steal and run They pullin' guns out on police Police they shoot and kill - they shoot at will They will at you - they'll execute if you don't leave Leavin' the impression no one's safe inside this dungeon in the city of the beast Beasts are on the corner, slingin' poison to the junkies - to a junkie it's a feast Feast or famine, come examine, take a look into that alleyway that's on your street Streets are not the only place that you can find yourself laying up under white sheets Sheets in Alabama cockin' hammers, ridin' horses, wanna handle who is free Free yourself from anything they preach
Even if the whole world knows I don't give a damn about what they think I don't have to stand up to your gun I don't have to sit down when you say Tell me I'm overboard The truth is you just want to see me sink If there's any room left on that ship You don't have to save any room for me Cause I've got my own boat (even when it rains) I'm doing my own thing (even when it rains) And I will stay afloat - even when it rains Cause I've got my own boat Row, row your boat Row, row your boat Row your boat
We used to have it all
It was us against the world, but now
I’ve been sleeping on my own
Spending all these nights alone knowing you’re not coming home
Cause you’re running through my dreams
It’s like you’re on repeat
Feels like eternity, and I can’t believe
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You left me all alone
I would’ve gave it all
Truth be told I can’t believe you’re gone
Like a dream I can’t recall
Now I gotta face the fact that you’re never coming back
Cause you’re running through my dreams
It’s like you’re on repeat
Feels like eternity, and I can’t believe
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I’ll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
You left me all alone
I see you in my dreams
I can’t believe you’re gone
When it’s too dark to see
I’ll leave the light on
I’ll leave the light on
I’ll leave the light on
When it’s too dark to see
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I’ll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I feel myself go insane
I've got a lot I cannot say
For too long, I bide my time
I'll say I'm fine
I watch you float on, float on
For too long, I've been too fake
Pretend to be
All that you need
So tell me the truth, my baby, baby
Is it me, is it you? I say, I say, oh
So tell me the truth, my baby, baby
Is it me, is it you? Oh
The image stuck inside my mind
Your body trapped in space and time
For too long, I dream of you
All that you do
I watch you float on, float on
For too long, I contemplate
I try to be
All that you need
So tell me the truth, my baby, baby
Is it me, is it you? I say, I say, oh
So tell me the truth, my baby, baby
Is it me, is it you? Oh
Tell me the truth, my baby
Is it me, is it you? I say, I say, oh
So tell me the truth, my baby
Is it me, is it you? Oh, oh, oh no, no, no
So tell me the truth, my baby, baby
Is it me, is it you? I say, I say, oh
So tell me the truth, my baby, baby
Is it me, is it you? Oh
A while ago you looked at me
And said there'd come a time
You'd have to go away
You put it on the line
And told me we should only
Take each moment day by day
Well I know that there's a time in life
When people change
And go their separate ways
But I miss you, more each day
You're a million miles away
But I feel you in my heart
Though it hurt to leave that way
We'll we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
There is no way to love
No rules that we can follow
Nothing simple or defined
We make our own
And some we borrow
Hoping it won't end
But darling now we know
We've got no-where left to go
You're a million miles away
But I feel you in my heart
Through it hurt to leave that way
Well we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
Our love would never end
And if I travelled to the stars
Would I find out where you are
Touch the secret in your heart
And set it free
Or would you turn away
Cos I miss you more each day
You're a million miles away
But I feel you in my heart
Through it hurt to leave that way
Well we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
Our love would never end
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
I laughed and she'd smile
It would last for awhile
You don't know what you've got till you lose it all again
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance
Listenin' to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air until they play the last song
I'll do my time
Oh, keeping you off my mind but there's moments
That I find, I'm not feeling so strong
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Runnin' down by the lakeshore
She did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing her away once again...whoa, again
The boat's steaming in
Oh, I watch the sidewheel spin
And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I can't change my mind
Oh, I knew all the time that she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
As she turns to go
Listen to the...listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Listen to the mandolin rain.
I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver, take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today's pain
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Dream weaver
Dream weaver
You call to me, and I fall at your feet How could anyone ask for more? (How could anyone ask for more?) And our time apart, like knives in my heart How could anyone ask for more? (How could anyone ask for more?)
But if there's a pill to help me forget God knows I haven't found it yet But I'm dying to, God, I'm trying to
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far And trying not to need you, is tearing me apart Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for 'Cause trying not to love you Only makes me love you more Only makes me love you more
And this kind of pain, only time takes away That's why it's harder to let you go (That's why it's harder to let you go) And nothing I can do, without thinking of you That's why it's harder to let you go (That's why it's harder to let you go)
But if there's a pill to help me forget God knows I haven't found it yet But I'm dying to, God, I'm trying to
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far Trying not to need you, is tearing me apart Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for 'Cause trying not to love you Only makes me love you more
So I sit here divided, just talking to myself Was it something that I did? Was there somebody else? When a voice from behind me, that was fighting back tears Sat right down beside me, whispered right in my ear Said, I've been dying to tell you
That trying not to love you, only went so far Trying not to need you, was tearing me apart Now I see the silver lining, from what we're fighting for We just keep on trying, we could be much more 'Cause trying not to love you Oh, yeah, trying not to love you Only makes me love you more Only makes me love you more
Under from wherein lies our amazement
Is where we fell out of love
Come now, to where we grieve in stages
Before the daylight comes
Maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you're waiting for
Some nights, I dream about the old days
I put my phone down, honey
Pick myself back up again
If our love's just a crack in the pavement
Another step might curb
The overestimation
Maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you're waiting for
"And I still love you, don't you understand?"
"Then do me a favor, will you? Leave."
"Go away, go away someplace before I ruin your life
As well as my own."
"It's you and me. Out of everybody in the world. Us"
"We'll get out of it. We'll make them understand
Just how it was."
And maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you're waiting for
Tell me what you're waiting for
