This path leads into dark...

In shrouding veil of thickening dusk,
In the caress of darkening woods
There winds my path, narrow and fading

Let this twilight linger upon me
Moon and stars take over when sun has fled
And bring her scent to me
Bring her scent to me

May the blowing of winds cease
And all birds fall silent from singing
May the dreary waters lay still
And hands of time stop turning

So in forms of evening mist
I can feel her slender grace
In shades of deep green
I can drown in her tender eyes

Now that her light has gone away,
All the searching has lead astray,
These journeys are filled with craving
Each moment with loss

What a cruel world left for me to roam alone
What a scornful fate,took my light away

Neither the glittering dew on moors, nor the the whispering wind in dales
But only these shadows of green can remind me of her
Can remind me of her

May the blowing of winds cease
And all birds fall silent from singing
May the dreary waters lay still
And hands of time stop turning

So in forms of evening mist
I can feel her slender grace
In shades of deep green
I can drown in her tender eyes

What a cruel world left for me to roam alone
What a scornful fate, took my light away

What a cruel world left for me to roam alone
What a scornful fate, took my light away

    "...This path leads into dark...

    In shrouding veil of thickening dusk, In the caress of darkening woods There winds my path, narrow and fading

    Let this twilight linger upon me Moon and stars take over when sun has fled And bring her scent to me Bring her scent to me"

    either the place where she lies, or a place that reminds him of her.

    "May the blowing of winds cease And all birds fall silent from singing May the dreary waters lay still And hands of time stop turning"

    asking the world to basically stop so he can have a breif moment to remember her.

    "So in forms of evening mist I can feel her slender grace In shades of deep green I can drown in her tender eyes"

    him remembering her.

    "Now that her light has gone away, All this searching has lead astray, These turns are filled with greaving and the moments with lust

    What a cruel world left for me to roam alone These journeys are filled with craving, these moments with loss

    Neither the glittering dew on moors, nor the the whispering wind in dales But only these shadows of green can remind me of her Can remind me of her"

    regretting her loss, and having hatred for the world, now the "shadows of green" could be the forests?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
