Demon Days
Gorillaz @ Demon Days [Alt/Britpop+Gospel/Secular]

In demon days, it’s cold inside
You don’t get nobody, people sigh
It’s so bad, lasting far, but love yourself
Hiding in a hole in there
All the glasses are too big
Bring it back, got to hold it back
To let you do that yet you don’t want me back
Before it fall down, falling down falling down
Falling out to go far from the sun

In these demon days it’s so cold inside
So hard for a good soul to survive
You can’t even trust the air you breathe
Cause Mother Earth wants us all to leave
When lies become reality
You numb yourself with drugs and TV
Pick yourself up it’s a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don’t burn yourself, turn yourself
Turn yourself around into the sun!

In these demon days it’s so cold inside
So hard for a good soul to survive
You can’t even trust the air you breathe
Cause Mother Earth wants us all to leave
When lies become reality
You numb yourself with drugs and TV
Pick yourself up it’s a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don’t burn yourself, turn yourself
Turn yourself around into the sun!

To the sun, to the sun…
To the sun, to the sun…

All righty then… picture this if you will…
10 to 2 am, X, yogi DMT, and a box of krispy kreme’s in my “need to know” pose just outside of area 51, contemplating the whole chosen people thingy when just then 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 birkinstocks, and me yelping “holy fuckin’ shit!”

then the X file being, looking like some kinda 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 elron 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 dead head chemistry. (the) blotter got right on top o’ me. Got me seeing E mutha fuckin 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!!

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. cuz this shit never happens to me.
Can’t breathe right now.

It was so real. Like I woke up in wonderland. all sorta terrifying. I don’t wanna be 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 cuz this shit never happens to me.
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.
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.
Sun kissed and Sudafed Gyro scopes and infrared
won’t help. I’m brain dead. Can’t remember what they said.
God damn. Shit the bed.

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.
God damn shit the bed.

In My Head
Queens Of The Stone Age

It’s the cruelest joke to play
I’m so high, I run in place
Only a line, we separate, so

Keep on playin our favorite song
I turn it up while you’re gone
It’s all I got when you’re in my head and you’re in my head so I need it

You’re the only thing I’ve got that I can’t seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace, so

Keep on playin our favorite song
I turn it up while you’re gone
It’s all I got when you’re in my head and you’re in my head so I need it

Hurry up & wait forever
Hurry up & wait for forever

after reading Bruno’s latest dream link

Melting Pot - originally sung by Blue Mink

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn’t matter what religion you choose
And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful
You know that livin’ could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I’ll call up the queen
It’ s only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score :content:

Passive Manipulation
The White Stripes @ Get Behind Me Satan [Rock/Garage+Alt/Indie+De Stijl]

Women, listen to your mothers
Don’t just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference
Between a father and a lover

(repeat)

Goodnight Kiss
Dream Theater

Goodnight kiss in your nightgown
Lavender in your bed
So innocent as you lie down
Sweet dreams that run through your head

Are you lonely without Mommy’s love?
I want you to know I’d die for that moment
You’re just a poor girl
Afraid of this cruel world
Taken away from it all

It’s been 5 years to the day and
My tainted blood’s still the same
I can’t help acting this way and
Those bastard doctors are gonna pay

I’m so lonely without baby’s love
I want you to know I’d die for one more moment
I’m just a poor girl
Afraid of this cruel world
Taken away from it all

I almost cried during the performance of it on their new DVD score, the song is dealing with such a sad topic and the music suits it perfectly.

67

Queens :smile: Good choice, I have been a little obessed with them lately.

68

Me too, I never thought I was gonna like them because I thought they were the most commercial band ever, but they ectually got founded in 1997 (!) and are kickass.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we’ll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless … hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any … time. Any … day.
Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It’s a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless … hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any … time. Any … day.
Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we’ll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly …, stupid … …

One great big festering neon distraction,
I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom’s gonna fix it all soon.
Mom’s comin’ round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

… L Ron Hubbard and
… all his clones.
… all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

… retro anything.
… your tattoos.
… all you junkies and
… your short memory.

Learn to swim.

… smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
… these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I’m praying for rain
And I’m praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don’t just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

What was it like to see
The face of your own stability
Suddenly look away
Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?

Eleven and she was gone.
Eleven is when we waved good-bye.
Eleven is standing still,
Waiting for me to free him
By coming home.

Moving me with a sound.
Opening me within a gesture.
Drawing me down and in,
Showing me where it all began,
Eleven.

It took so long to realize that
You hold the light that’s been leading me back home.

Under a dead ohio sky,
Eleven has been and will be waiting,
Defending his light,
And wondering…
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb.
So glad that I have found you.
I am wide awake and heading home.

Hold your light,
Eleven.
Lead me through each gentle step by step
by inch by loaded memory.

I’ll move to heal
As soon as pain allows so we can
Reunite and both move on together.

Hold your light,
Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step
By inch by loaded memory
'till one and one are one, eleven,
So glow, child, glow.

I’m heading back home.

And no, this song is not about lucid dreaming, it’s about Maynard’s mother which has been paralyzed and wheelchair bound when he was eleven years old and the concept of synchronicity.

This Lullaby

Queens Of The Stone Age

(Album Opener)

Where O where have you been my love?
Where O where can you be?
It’s been so long, since the moon has gone.
And O what a wreck you’ve made me.

Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby.

My Hope is on the horizon
Every face, it’s your eyes I can see.
I plead, I pray through each night and day
Our Embrace is only a dream.

And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life’s time.
When she’d left, I’d only begun this lullaby.

Long Slow Goodbye

Queens Of The Stone Age

(Album Ending)

Where have you gone again my sweet?
Everybody wants to know.
Where have you gone again my sweet?
Everybody wants to know.
Where you gone?

I’m just a ghost, I’m on your street
Waitin’, when you comin’ home?
Gone so long
Where you gone?
On a long slow goodbye?
On a long slow goodbye…

In every voice, I hear you speak
Waitin’ by the telephone.
I close my eyes, I just can’t sleep
Roll and tumble all night long.
All night long
Where you gone?

I close my eyes, I just can’t sleep
Where have you gone again my sweet?

On a long slow goodbye?
On a long slow goodbye…

Goodbye

What’s coming through is alive.
What’s holding up is a mirror.
But what’s singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.

They’re both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.

Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

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.

Hm when I heard Iron Maiden I noticed a song called

Purgatory

Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,
Fantasies lived times before.
I split my brain, melt through the floor.

Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can’t think why.
My body tries to leave my soul.
Or is it me, I just don’t know.
Mem’ries rising from the past, the future’s shaddow overcast.
Something’s clutching at my head, through the darkness I’ll be led.

Oh another time, another place.
Oh another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love’s inside of you.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
[repeat everything]

I recognized it sounds much like OOBE to me, what do you think? The song is from 1981, maybe someone in the band had an OOBE then?

76

By the way, do you guys relate those lyrics you post to dreams? Because what I post here is never about dreams, only some beautiful lyrics.

77

I think the Idea is just general, nothing really related to dreams itself. Atleast thats what I think :eh:

Reflection
Tool

Deticated to oddish, hehe. :tongue:

I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It’s calling me…

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don’t wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it’s far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it’s far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that’s imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason …
before we pine away.

Hee…Overdue thanks to Robin…>_< I was busy the past few days…With exams.

I see your message =P

Neuroticfish - They Are Coming To Take Me Away - Orginal by Napoleon XIV

[size=92]Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave because I´d go beserk?
You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I´ve gone completely
out of my mind
AND

1:
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I´ll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they´re coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAA
(x2)

You thought it was a joke,
and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,
RIGHT?
You know you laughed.
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
But now you know I´m utterly mad
AND

1:(x1)
2:
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers
And chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they´re coming to take me away,
HAHAAAAAAAAA

I cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds
HUH?
Well, you just wait,
They´ll find you yet,
And when they do, they´ll put you in
the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT,
AND

1: (x1)

They’re coming to take me away, They’re coming to take me away!! (x4)[/size]
