This is what the lyrics sound like to me............ shrug.gif

Isolation - Starchildren

Fear every day of the evening
Because we're all out from above
Carefully watch for a reason
Seeking devotion and love
Surrender to self preservation
For others care for themselves
My life is in touch with perfection
Persons (presence?) like anything else
Isolation
Mother I tried to believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm shamed of the things I've been put through
Ashamed of the person I am
Isolation
If you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
There's pleasures and waiting distractions
This is my one little prize
Isolaton

In Lucky 13

"Revolution Comes"

instead of

"Revolution Crawls"

changes the meaning of the following line a LOT.

for me its love on MCIS

my eyes of headless creature
(my airs of madness do declare)

Love,ensure your love
(Love is who you know)

and she complains
(machine goes blues)

as you are filthy to me
(as you felt in to me)

I'l sell everything,now!
(Love solves everything,Love!)

too many misheards..it absolutely ruined the song for me smile.gif
but after i looked up for lyrics i started to liking it biggrin.gif

try it on your own ..its possible biggrin.gif

For a long time, I was certain 'Stumbleine' was about child abuse. The feel of the song and a few of the lyrics added up to the picture as a whole:

'Boredom's in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth'
'And nobody nowhere understands anything / about me and all my dreams / lost at sea'
'And what you never knew / can never get to you'
'No matter what you say he'll be back for more'
'Come around ruby i could never sleep alone'

Of course, when all the lyrics are in there, it does seem to be about something a little different... But how it felt when I misunderstood actually has more resonance than it does when I listen to the lyrics properly.

in "We Only Come Out at Night," it sounds suspiciously like he's saying "I wore cologne" instead of "I walk alone"
"you're all a part of me now" in Sacred and Profane sounds like "you're a lobotomy now"
and speaking of Billy the Egomaniac, I wish she still made those comics.. always good.

I first heard "They sell your wounds as evidence of your holes" as "They say your wounds are evidence of your hope." I like my lyric better.

The two lyrics from Pomp and Circumstances that sound similar but are obviously different because of the printed lyrics. By the way, Pomp and Circumstances is one of S.P.'s best top 3 songs of everything they've done.

"I'm torn, broken, and frayed" An alt lyric of that could be...

"Tom broke in and prayed."

The other lyric is...

"I'm cold, worn out and shamed." An alt lyric of that could be...

"I'll cough, want out and shake."

I have to say it: Who votes on those Grammy Award Nominations? Did any of them listen to Pomp and Circumstances? I mean really listen? It's called this. Here ya go. This is what it's called. This is what it's all about. Ready?

A great musical artist gives you so much in one song. An average musical artist doesn't think about it. It's about layers of thought. R.E.M. described it as if you want to enjoy a song on the most basic of levels go ahead but we make albums where if you'd like to sit and think about our songs we've also taken care of including depth in our songs.

Pomp and Circumstances I will be listening to for as long as I listen to music. That's a song I would never play for most people I know. Because if they didn't like it I would consider having nothing else to do with them. That song means everything to me.

When a song inspires you to follow your dreams, that's a good song.

There should just be a web site dedicated to the song Pomp and Circumstances.

The only one I can think of, where I was actually sure it was something and was confused by it was "I went falling" in Once Upon A Time.
It really does sound like he's saying "I went bowling"
I never really thought he was saying "brown cow".

I'm still of the opinion he actually does say "rape" in the song and it was changed in the lyric book to avoid controversy and/or out of error.
