What Happened? [week 17]

What Happened? - ULVER

Out of nothing

I understand
Who I am

I think

What Happened?
I have been
Here before

I know

What you have done
To the world

Your face

It is in your hands
Like everything

Crying

What happened
To us here

Ice Cream Man [week 16]

Ice Cream Man - Tom Waits

Clickin' by your house about two forty-five
With a sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise,
I got a cherry popsicle right on time
A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind

'Cause I'm your ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band (yeah)
I'm your ice cream man, honny,
I'll be good to you.

Baby, missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
Come back around and don't forget,
When you're tired and you're hungry
Want something cool,
Got something better than a swimming pool

'Cause I'm your ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.
'Cause I'm your ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.

If you see me coming, you ain't got no change
Don't worry baby, it can be arranged
Show me you can smile, baby, just for me
I'll fix you with a drumstick, and I'll do it for free

'Cause I'm your ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm your ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you

Red Red Red [week 14]

Red, Red, red - Fiona Apple

I don't understand about complimentary colors
And what they say
Side by side they both get bright
Together they both get gray

But he's been pretty much yellow
And I've been kinda blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I gonna do

I don't understand about
Diamonds and why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond
Except the mining

And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't listen so much to you

I've been watching all the time
And I still can't find the track
And I wanna know is it okay
Is it just fine
Was it my fault
Is it my lack

I don't understand about
The weather outside
The harmony to the words
That somebody lied

There's solace a bit for submitting
To the fitfully cryptically true
What's happened has happened
What's coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play

I don't understand
I'll never understand
But I'm trying to understand
There's nothing else I can do...

How Could I? [week 13]

rough, good copy is on the way.


How Could I? - Cynic

How could I forget such a revelation
To love without fear and learn without question
How could I regret the meant occasions
I must begin this day again
Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe
How could I
Humility take charge of me
Drown me in truth's modest waters
Loosen your grip identity
Free me from an ego's falter
Love too often is only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
Must I try? How could I?
Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds one's own canoe
Love's too often only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
For in this spewing cavern of pride
How could I!

Chromatic Chimera [week 12]

Chromatic Chimera - Unexpect


Microscopic dust...
To exist as I of many eyes
Tentacles in our heads wrestling with
anonymous segments.

Rowing deep into the murk with psychosis
sitting on my lap
Finding a rythm entrangled in nothingness
On witnessing the present system
A monstrous collage in movement
Free to stray, swim in a tomb if you want.

All directions, every angles
Nuances, infinite possibilities
Confusion of a saturated mind
The flood is so stimulating, but just where do we stop?
Currents numerous...hard to focus...yessss...yESsSSSS !!!
We want answers! Not confused babblings!

Losing control is a treat, still...
We could be drained...
We could be drained...of...

Chimeras, precious chimeras
Ejected from the assembly
Unto a circular technological slave pen
Bound to be part of this geometrical harem
Speak the frequencies of liberation
The universal language of positive similarity
When one crosses the threshold of the collective territory.

An antidote for the imperial poison.
