enlightening lyrics? hmmmm...
"excuse me as i kiss the sky" -hendrix-
"you dont have to move the mountain just give me the strength to climb" -wu-tang-
"Riders on the storm Into this house were born Into this world were thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out on loan Riders on the storm" -doors-
"I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset theyll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me" -iron maiden-
"The first generation Caused such a sensation Gave all an elation But I'm in deep space 9 Hitting wormholes all of the time"
"They say you're running around when I'm out of town, Never get home till after three, You're cheating yourself if you're cheating on me. If what they're saying is true, it's time that you knew, There are many more fishes in the sea. You're cheating yourself if you're cheating on me." -sinatra-

Quote:
Looked through the paper. Makes you want to cry. Nobody cares if the people Live or die. And the dealer wants you thinking That it’s either black or white. Thank God it’s not that simple In my secret life.
-- Leonard Cohen
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Haha, EC, I actually posted those same lyrics in your last thread.
The Grateful Dead - Franklin's Tower
In another times forgotten space Your eyes looked from your mother's face Wallflower seed on the sand and stone May the four winds blow you safely home.
Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell It can ring, turn night to day It can ring like fire when you loose your way.
Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew
God save the child that rings that bell It may have one good ring, baby, you can't tell One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused listen to the music play.
(instrumental)
Some come to laugh their past away Some come to make it just one more day Whichever way your pleasure tends If you plant ice you're gonna harvest the wind.
Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew
In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep Wildflower seed on the sand and wind May the four winds blow you home again.
Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew You'd better roll away the dew
Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew You'd better roll away the dew - roll away.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Tool "10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2)"
We listen to the tales and romanticize, how we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun, How we'll rise to the height of our halo.
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize, our way into the arms of the savior. Fading all the trials and the tribulations.
None of us have actually been there, Not like you...
The ignorant fibbers in the congregation. Gather around spewing sympathy, Spare me...
None of them can even hold a candle up to you. Blinded by choices, hypocrites won't see.
But enough about the collective Judas. Who could deny you were the one who illuminated? Your little piece of the divine.
This little light of mine it gives your past unto me, I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way.
Your way home...
Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down? Without you to guide them all to Zion? What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun? Other than tremble incessantly.
High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground. You are the light and the way. They'll only read about. I only pray heaven knows, when to lift you out.
10,000 days in the fire is long enough. You're going home...
You're the only one who can hold your head up high. Shake your fist at the gates saying, "I have come home now...!" Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father. Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
"It's time now! My time now! Give me my Give me my wings...!"
Give me my [x5]
(Give me my wings)
You are the light, the way, that they will only read about.
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance. Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers. You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence, Judith Marie, unconditional one.
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence. Difficult to see you in this light. Please forgive this bold suggestion. Should you see your maker's face tonight, Look him in the eye. Look him in the eye and tell him, I never lived a lie, never took a life, But surely saved one.
Hallelujah It's time for you to bring me home.

Look at the pattern, can you see what's wrong? It's supposed to be perfect, but really it's not.
Can you find the flaws, hidden in structured code. hiding in the pattern, in between the rows.
Now that you know that something's not right, look at it carefully, in pale logic light.
Don't be sorry, if you can't recognize the errors and faults, in such a perfect disguise.
Only illogics can find hidden flaws in a straight logic line Only erratics recognize errors in patterns of a perfect design.

What I Actually Am - Mount Eerie
When I was sturdier I'd talk about how certainly we all will die. Eat shadows, bury candles, die. When I was sturdier I thought: "So what? I am forever mountainous!" I bravely said: "No death of any kind could matter to my mountain mind! Come years, come surging, I am tall!" When I was "sturdier" I was secretly scared, And the fear was blinding. As you can see, I am no rock. As you can see, in mountain wind What I actually am is thinning clouds.

that old good boy Mitch just wanted to tell some jokes well now i'm just trying to play some notes
do you know what i say? do you know what i mean?
have you heard through these words just how i'm seeing?
theres a reason that i work so hard at this stuff when all i want to do is take it easy
its not a ticket for you to pick at other people who don't know whats up like you're so sure you do
you kind of make me want to shut your mouth just to keep out all of those unfriendly feelings just because you've got a lot of wax and all those first editions
i want you to know sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me
all i need to know i knew so early
it's so lame that you could take my feelings and make yourself feel like you're better than anyone else who hasn't heard
listen in between your notes theres something been going on while you were busy taking notes
and look in between your moments theres something good happening its good to sometimes slow it down
whats the point in pouring it all out when you guys just wear it on your coat?
i believe that for this piece of time we can really crank us up a lot
get your head out from those mags and websites who try to shape your style take a risk just for yourself and wade into the deep end of the ocean

It was in another lifetime One of toil and blood When darkness was a virtue, the road full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form "Come in," she said "I'll give you shelther from the storm"

wow. some great lyrics.
The Mad Hatter's Song by Robin Williamson
Oh seekers of spring how could you not find contentment In a time of riddling reasons in this land of the blind By the joke of fate alone it's sure that as the loved hand leaves you, You clutch for the slip-stream, the realness to find.
But do what you like, do what you like, do what you like, do what you like, do what you like, do what you can, do what you can, live till you die My poor little man. For Jesus will stretch out his hand no more.
But in the south there's many a waving tree; Oh would that musky fingers move your pain; In the warm south winds the lost flowers bloom again.
And if you cried, you know you'd fill a lake with tears, Still wouldn't turn back the years, Since the city has took you, Mad Hatter is on my mind.
So sad, sad to see the way it grew Those other people that I knew That have either fell or faltered. Mad Hatter is on my mind.
And you must have to see clear some time.
Prometheus the problem child, still juggling with his brains Gives his limping leopard's visions to the miser in his veins. Within the ruined factory is the normal soul insane As he sets the sky beneath his heel And learns away the pain.
But I am the archer the lover of laughter, And mine is the arrowed flight.
I am the archer, and my eyes yearn after the unsullied sight. Born of the dark waters of the daughters of night, Dancing without movement after the clear light. Oh Perithian fate be kind in the rumbling and trundling rickshaw of time. Hooked by the heart to the king fisher's line, I will set my one eye for the shores of the blind.
-------------------- 'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

Immortal Technique- 'Bush knocked down the towers'
I pledge no allegiance, nigga fuck the president's speeches I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers And if you speak about the evil that the government does The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs And throw a federal indictment on niggaz to show you love This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in All they talk about is terrorism on television They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion Even though Bin Laden, was a CIA tactician They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface
[Hook]
[Verse 2 - Immortal Technique] They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the south, my nigga I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga You ever clock someone who talk shit, or look at you wrong? Imagine if they shot at you, and was rapin' your moms And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons We sold him that shit, after Ronald Reagan's election Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror They controllin' the ghetto, with the failed attack Tryna distract the fact that they engineerin' the crack So I'm strapped like Lee Malvo holdin' a sniper rifle These bullets'll touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael Your body be sent to the morgue, stripped down and recycled I fire on house niggaz that support you and like you Cuz innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily And poor people never get shit and struggle daily This ain't no alien conspiracy theory, this shit is real Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic seal
(I don't rap for dead presidents I'd rather see the president dead It's never been said but I set precedents)

I'm the first person you're the second person Earlier today I was in the third person Stop cursing, start diversing Oedipus is bliss the sunshine will affect your mind Stretch it out, don't doubt the amount my brain is caught I guess I'm just blessed Trip hoppin', so I flow like a stream It's just a dream
We are all here in the act of creation Let's fly away on our imagination You take me to the highest heights and into the depths of the deepest abyss
When I am dreaming, I don't know if I'm truly asleep or if I'm awake And when I get up, I don't know if I'm truly awake, or if I'm still dreaming
Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream, life is but a dream
Traveling the waves of an infinite ocean I feel the deepest emotion I see a shadow of reality Please hold me closely and take me away

From the original lyric thread:
Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51 Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy when a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping...
Holy fucking joke!
Then the X-Files being, Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa Did a slow-mo Matrix descent Outta the butt end of the banana vessel And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip, and all I could think was: "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants."
So light in his way, Like an apparition, [that] He had me crying out, "Fuck me It's gotta be the Deadhead Chemistry The blotter got [right] on top of me Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!"
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not." Me. The Chosen One? They chose me!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.
You'd better... You'd better... You'd better... You'd better listen.
Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down This is so real Like the time Dave floated away See, my heart is pounding 'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
It was so real, Like I woke up in Wonderland. All sorta terrifying I don't wanna be all alone While I tell this story. And can anyone tell me why Y'all sound like Peanuts parents? Will I ever be coming down? This is so real Finally, it's my lucky day See, my heart is racing 'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I've just said! See the Dead ain't touring And this wasn't all in my head. See, they took me by the hand And invited me right in. Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin.
Strapped down [to] my bed Feet cold [and] eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive? Am I dead? Can't remember what they said God damn, shit the bed.
Hey ...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position. Such a heavy burden now to be the One Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen Shit the bed again ... Typical.
Strapped down [to] my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive? Am I dead? Sunkist and Sudafed * Gyroscopes and infrared Won't help the brain dead Can't remember what they said God damn, shit the bed
I can't remember what they said to me Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero Can't remember what they said Bob help me! Can't remember what they said
[We] don't know, [and we] won't know (x12)
