αφού λοιπόν ξεχάστηκα (Παύλος Παυλίδης)



Αφού λοιπόν ξεχάστηκα και τ' όμορφο καράβι
καιρό πια ταξιδεύει μακριά χωρίς εμένα,
εσύ που πίνεις χρόνια από του χρόνου το πηγάδι
πιες ένα ποτήρι και για μένα...

Αφού λοιπόν ξεχάστηκα στην όμορφή σας πόλη
που πλέει μέσ' στη νύχτα με τα φώτα αναμμένα,
θα βγω να περπατήσω, θα βρω που πήγαν όλοι
όσοι ξεχάστηκαν απόψε σαν εμένα...

Αφού λοιπόν ξεχάστηκα και πρέπει να τα σβήσω
τα φώτα του θεάτρου που αφήσατε αναμμένα,
θα πάω στην τελευταία σειρά και θα καθίσω
στη θέση που κρατήσατε για μένα...

Και τότε ίσως μπορέσω να θυμηθώ τα λόγια,
που ακόμη κιτρινίζουν σε συρτάρια κλειδωμένα.
Πείτε μου επιτέλους τι δείχνουν τα ρολόγια,
πείτε το επιτέλους και σε μένα...

Αφού λοιπόν ξεχάστηκα και πέρασε σαν τρένο
η ζωή από μπροστά μου με τα βλέφαρα κλεισμένα,
θα κάτσω λίγο ακόμα εδώ να περιμένω
απόψε ίσως δε λείψω σε κανέναν...

i could have lied (Red Hot Chili Peppers)



there must be something
 in the way i feel
that she don't want me to feel
the stare she bares cut me
i don't care
you see so what if i bleed

i could never change
just what i feel
my face will never show
what is not real

a mountain never seems to have
the need to speak
a look that shares so many seek
the sweetest feeling
i got from you
the things i said to you were true

i could never change
just what i feel
my face will never show
what is not real

i could have lied i'm such a fool
my eyes could never never never
keep their cool
showed her and i told her how
she struck me but i'm fucked up now

but now she's gone, yes she's gone away
a soulful song
that would not stay
you see she hides 'cause she is scared
but i don't care
i won't be spared...

tonight's music (Katatonia)



who could call my name without regretting
who could see beyond this my darkness
and for once save their own prayers
who could mirror down just a little of their sun

how could this go so very wrong
that i must depend on darkness
would anyone follow me further down
how could this go so very far
that i need someone to say
what is wrong
not with the world, but me

who could call my name without regretting
who could promise to never destroy me
tonight my head is full of wishes
and everything i drink is full of her

comfortably numb (Pink Floyd)

Hello, 
Is there anybody in there? 
Just nod if you can hear me 
Is there anyone home? 

Come on Now 
I hear you're feeling down 
I can ease your pain 
Get you on your feet again 

Relax 
I'll need some information first 
Just the basic facts 
Can you show me where it hurts? 

There is no pain you are receding 
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon 
You are only coming through in waves 
Your lips move 
But I can't hear what you're saying 

When I was a child I had a fever 
My hands felt just like Two balloons 
Now I've got that feeling once again 
I can't explain, You would not understand 
This is not how I am 
I... Have become comfortably numb 

O.K. 
Just a little pin prick 
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! 
But you may feel a little sick 

Can you stand up? 
I do believe it's working, Good 
That'll keep you going through the show 
Come on, It's time to go 

There is no pain you are receding 
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon 
You are only coming through in waves 
Your lips move 
But I can't hear what you're saying 

When I was a child 
I caught a fleeting glimpse 
Out of the corner of my eye 
I turned to look but it was gone 
I cannot put my finger on it now 
The child is grown 
The dream is gone 
I... Have become comfortably numb

Delusion Angel (David Jewell)



Daydream delusion
Limousine eyelash
Oh, baby, with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusion angel
I’m a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Lodged in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You’ll carry me
That’s how it could be
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me by now?
