Lyrics...

[storyteller]

Lines from two childhood favorites

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a water color in the rain. Don't bother asking for explanation. She'll just tell you that she came from the year of the cat...

Al Stewart/Peter Wood, sung by Stewart, "Year of the Cat" (1976)​

Seems it never rains in Southern California. Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before. It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya, it pours, man it pours!

A. Hammond/M. Hazelwood, sung by Albert Hammond, "It Never Rains in Southern California" (1972)​

"Pardon me, while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its' peoples' mindless games.
Pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me."
- Pardon Me by Incubus

This is probably my most meaningful quote. I love this song and it describes the way I feel sometimes.





I also love the lyrics to this song. Some of them mean certain things to me about certain people.

You move in slow motion
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last

You speak in riddles
Your intentions turn me on
I'm your's forever
Will you love me when I'm gone?

When I'm gone!

When I'm gone,
You're an unfenced fire!
(When I'm gone,)
Over walls we've trampled!
(When I'm gone,)
It's you I admire!
(When I'm gone,)
My living example...

Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away
Any minute now keeping
Both poets and priests at bay
Don't get ahead of me
Could we just this once see eye to eye?
Could you want perhaps me?
Ask me how it feels to vie

To vie!

You're an unfenced fire! (to vie)
Over walls we travel! (to vie)
It's you I admire! (to vie)
My living example...

It's a photograph discovered a decade after
It's a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker
It's enough to bring a brick wall to its knees
And sing, please

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last

For last!

You're an unfenced fire! (for last)
Over walls we travel! (for last)
It's you I admire! (for last)
My living example...
My living example...

It's you I admire!!
My living example


-Admiration by Incubus



If you can't tell, Incubus is my favorite band!

Dave Melillo "Wait For It"

Give me your black lungs
And your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line

You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
'Cause I never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You've got potential

Wait for it
Wait for nights that compliment you
Ignore the girls that just resent you
It's easier to pretend you don't care at all
Now wait for it
Wait for boys that overwhelm you
And tell them that you're not that type of girl
And you would rather sit and talk about your goals

Give me your black lungs
And your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
'Cause I never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You've got potential

Wait for it
Wait for nights that decimate you
Wake up and then pray for saving
Hope has never seemed so far away from you
Now wait for it
Wait for years to pass you by
You're looking back at all the times
You wish you hadn't compromised at all

Well I tried
Well I tried
Well I tried to make you see
That you lost reality somewhere
I tried

Give me your black lungs
And your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
And I've never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You've got potential

Fiona Apple
"The First Taste"

I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black to replace my blue
I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught
But Daddy Longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you

Give me the first taste, let it begin
Heaven cannot wait
Forever
Darling, just start the chase
Ill let you win but you must
Make the endeavor

Oh, your love give me a heart contusion
Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt borders intrusion
I'm building memories on things we have not said
Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not
Nearly

Give me the first taste, let it begin
Heaven cannot wait
Forever
Darling, just start the chase
Ill let you win but you must
Make the endeavor

This is the chorus from "I Loved Her First" by Heartland

"But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first"

But the whole song is beautiful and I'm a total daddy's girl. One of those songs that wonderfully describes how a father's feels when his little girl falls in love.

Fade to Black by Metallica...

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filing me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone
No one but me can save myself, but its to late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

Not a good one to listen to when your feeling low, think the lyrics speak for themselves as to their meaning 🙂
