Haha why can't I remember anything?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Evening rises, darkness threatens to engulf us all
But there's a moon above it's shining and I think I hear a call
It's just a whisper through the trees, my ears can hardly make it out
But I can hear it in my heart, vibrating strong as if she shouts

Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my head
I came here like you asked, I killed the beast, that part of me is dead
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my head
If only I'd have listened to you when you offered me that thread

Everything is quiet and I'm not exactly sure
If it really was your voice I heard or maybe it is a door
That's closing up some hero's back on his track to be a man
Can it be that all us heroes have a path, but not a plan?

Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
I wish I had that string, it's so damn dark, I think I'm going blind
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
For the life of me, I don't remember what I came to find

Now tell me, princess, are you strolling through your sacred grove?
And is the moon still shining? You're the only thing I'm thinking of
The sword you gave me, it was heavy, I just had to lay it down
It's funny how defenceless I can feel here when there's nobody around

Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
I was blind, I thought you'd bind me, but you offered me a chart
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
If I'd known that you could guide me, I'd have listened from the start

Somewhere up there midnight strikes, I think I hear the fall
Of little drops of water, magnified against the barren wall
It's more a feeling than a substance, but there's nobody around
And when I'm in here all alone, it's just enough to let me drown

Oh Ariadne, I was coming, but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you and we'll make each other last
Oh Ariadne, I have failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you and we'll make each other last

Oh fuckity fuck, there goes my mind.
now I'm all over the Smiths vinyls again!

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

Though not of my generation, below are songs by The Brothers Four. My mum would play one of their albums on the old stereo set when I was growing up, and some of the songs' tunes and lyrics (once I understood them) remain stuck in my head to this day. Even with a child's limited vocabulary, just the tune alone of the songs below evoked melancholic nostalgia and unexplained feelings of déjà vu. The lyrics are a poignant reminder of the passage of time and memories of happier days.

In the first song, Greenfields, the composer laments the past, yearning to be with the one he loves once more.


Tl;dw
Once there were greenfields
Kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers
Who strolled through greenfields

Greenfields are gone now
Parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Where are the greenfields that we used to roam?

I'll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day
(Oh) I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world
Left for me to see

But I'll keep on waiting
Till you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy while your heart's on a roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the greenfields and me once again


The second song Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, originally composed by Pete Seeger, is an anti-war song. Seeger's lyrics show how war and suffering can be cyclical in nature: girls pick flowers, men pick girls, men go to war and fill graves with their dead which get covered with flowers (source).


Tl;dw
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone for husbands everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time ago?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone for soldiers everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?


The folk song Five Hundred Miles is also worth a mention.


Tl;dw
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this a-way

This a-way, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way
Lord, I can't go back home this a-way

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles...

[FuneralCry]

Missing - Evanescence. One of my favourite songs, and one that I can relate to a lot.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Have posted this several times here. But that's pretty much because it is a very relevant song for most people here. Plus I relate to it 100%

Pearl Jam :: ☆Black
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... Yeah...
Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine






Pearl Jam :: ♤ Jeremy

Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
Dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth
And bit the recess lady's breast

How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this...
Try to erase this...
From the blackboard.
