Keep in mind that objectivity is an illusion and that we all see the world through a different perspective... otherwise it would be boring... :P | | 12 |  | Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here | | 11 |  | Porcupine Tree
In Absentia
He captured and collected things
And he put them in a shed
He raised a proper family
So he could tie them to a bed
The creator had a mastertape
But he left it in a cab
I stared into the void tonight
The best dream I ever had
He worked himself into the ground
And drove a spike into his head
A voice said "Are you happy now?'
Your sordid home is running red
Pills and chloroform
All the pages torn | | 10 |  | Massive Attack
Mezzanine
You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love
Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight
To love you, love you, love you...
You are my angel
Come from way above
To love you, love you, love you... | | 9 |  | Joy Division
Closer
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride.
What once was innocence, turned on its side.
A cloud hangs over me, marks every move,
Deep in the memory, of what once was love.
Oh how I realised how I wanted time,
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find,
Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away.
Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach,
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep.
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find,
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires.
I never realised the lengths I'd have to go,
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know.
Just for one moment, I heard somebody call,
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all.
Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong,
Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long.
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway,
Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late. | | 8 |  | Radiohead
Kid A
Flies are buzzing around my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem give me some
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
I'd really like to help you man
I'd really like to help you man.....
Nervous messed up marionette
Floating around on a prison ship
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs roaming the earth | | 7 |  | Leprous
Tall Poppy Syndrome
I wake to bleed another day
Dragging my anvil of pain
Betrayed, abandoned, rejected by life
My torment has branded its stain
At ease to leave this forsaken earth
My soul is awaiting my cry
Directing my lifeline away from its path
Soon is the moment I die
No way of sharing the pain that I feel
Disguising my plans to betray
Fire awaiting, my soul will be free
Tonight I'm passing away
How to live and how to bow
The lesson one must learn
Distinguish myself from your misery
Let's see now who will burn
All those who speak without a face
Now you'll remember my song
Before I was air, but not anymore
I might be pale, but I've never felt as strong | | 6 |  | Tool
Ænima
I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.
Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.
And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.
I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.
And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.
I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me. | | 5 |  | Tool
Lateralus
In this holy reality, in this holy experience
Choosing to be here in...
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in...
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion
Twirling round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
A chance to be alive and breathing
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal
All this pain is an illusion | | 4 |  | Swans
To Be Kind
To be kind, to be kind
To be kind, to be kind
To be kind, to be kind
To be real, to be new
To be sung by a song that's untrue
The falling sun, the fallen one
In a bed, painted blue, touching you
Listening, just listening
To the rain, to the wind, in the field
To be kind, to be kind
To be lost, in a bed, touching you
To be lost, to be lost
To be found in the sound of this room
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes | | 3 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
It was Coney Island, they called Coney Island the playground of the world.
There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Coney Island when I was a youngster.
No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous. Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing...you see.
And, uh, I still remember in my mind how things used to be, and...uh, you know, I feel very bad.
But people from all over the world came here...from all over the world...it was the playground they called it the playground of the world...over here.
Anyways, you see, I...uh...you know...I even got, when I was very small, I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me...on the...on the beach.
And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight..they don't do that anymore. Things changed...you see.
They don't sleep anymore on the beach. | | 2 |  | System of a Down
System of a Down
The piercing radiant moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,
Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know,
Awake,
Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,
The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know,
Awake
Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,
Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair. | | 1 |  | Have a Nice Life
Deathconsciousness
Hunter, I'm laid out on the forest floor
Arrows in my back and sides
Down among the leaves and stones
You can wear my skin as armor
You can eat my flesh and bones
Leave nothing that is needed
All I have is yours
And I'll give myself up to your sharpened edges
I no longer cling to my life
Yes, I'm finally giving in
Teeth and hate end our relationship
Of course it's sad, but that's the way it is
Your violence always wins the day
Yes
Your violence wins
And I'll give myself up to your sharpened edges
I no longer cling to my life
Yes, I'm finally giving in
Oh, and you watch as the animals
Lay themselves
Down at your feet
A thousand bared teeth
A thousand bowed heads
Yes, they're begging you for
Death
The Hunter does us all a great service
And we've done so much to deserve it | |
