Milk Of Regret

Otep

Was I just your surrogate?
Was I your revenge?
Was I just your surrogate?
Was I just revenge?
I... have... no regrets... yet
I... have... no regrets...

You'll wish we never took this ride...
You make me do this, you make me do this, you make me...
I wish I was afraid of suicide,
long ago before I died
We should never be this high
I wish I was afraid of suicide

Once was I... made of glass,
long ago, before I cracked...
Once was I... made of glass,
long ago... before I cracked...
you made me do THIS

I just can't forget
the blood,
the stitches,
the bite marks,
the kisses,
the glass memories reflecting back
the suffocating block,
ill milk of regret
Just smile and pretend,
it never mattered it anyway
Smile and pretend,
we never mattered anyway


You'll wish we never took this..

I'm starving,
I'm starving...
I'm starving for affection
Your heart is made of ash
And you were just a face to me,
a sacrificial lamb
Rejection, Revenge

Deception, Dimense
I might be going down in flames,
but you will burn with me
You'll wish we never took this RIDE!

I just can't forget
the blood,
the stitches,
the bite marks,
the kisses,
the glass memories reflecting back
the suffocating block,
ill milk of regret
Just smile and pretend,
we never mattered anyway

..no one will know

This is the perfect place
to hide the crime and burn the remains...
I was so naive
I refused to feed
Waiting for you to notice me
I was so naive
I refused to feed
Waiting for you...

LIKE A LOVESICK ANOREXIC

I just can't forget
the love you twisted
the lies you enlisted
The killers quietly beat me down
I hope you drown in this shit milk of regret
I WON'T FUCKING FORGET

I'll hope you drown while you're world is burning down
I'll hope you drown while you're world is burning down

...the whole world is burning
...your whole world is burning
...your whole world is burning
...your whole world is burning down

    She posted a poem awhile back on her blog with some of the lyrics from MOR scattered in it.

    Here it is:

    Goodbye, Supernatural

    her perfume still haunts this room in beautiful bouquets and sensual phantoms that stir the air & soften my eyes to sleep

    my fingers and lips cradle the evidence my hair is twisted and tangled gripping the remnants of her grunted breath

    my ears can hear the rain splashing against the window pane as the minutes drip by my mind slips & sighs slinking from the haze and everything is slower now, softer, and silent

    she wanted to stay.

    she wanted to remain, here, beside me, coiled like serpents beneath the linens, our limbs meshed and raveled like roots of an ancient tree, sharing dreams, sharing this fantasy, her long locks wrapped snugly around my back and neck as she sleeps soundly on my shoulder and chest.

    but she left.

    i asked her to go. to dress quickly, quietly, to slide those boots over the black tights she pretends are jeans, to tie her hair back in a rushed, ugly knot, to thrust her bra in her oversized bag, pull that expensive sweater back over her head, kiss me again, & head for the door.

    i retrieve her car keys, she is already texting someone, but i don’t mind, i just want her to leave, before this means something more, something my heart can’t handle, before i realize how amazing this was and how important she is to me.

    she stops and turns. so beautiful as the candles still flicker and burn.

    okay, good bye. goodnight my love. you were supernatural. call me? sure. tomorrow? okay. text me when you get home so i know you made it safely. is anything wrong? i’m fine. i just have an early day. but all i wanted to do was sleep. i know but the temptation would have been too great. thank you for understanding. you are amazing. okaaay. g’nite baby. good niiight. love you. what? i said, i’ll call you. you better. i will. let’s do dinner. soon. k. night. bye.

    & the door closes. & i return and collapse on the bed. not wanting to remember. just sleep and pretend. it never mattered …..anyway.

    So I believe that confirms the ex theory. But, as always, Otep's songs have several different meanings. :)

    Amazing song.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
