| Aimee Mann – Invisible Ink Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
There comes a time when you swim or sink So I jumped in the drink Cause I couldn't make myself clear I realize, you have to understand what I am trying to say now or never. So I makes a desperate attempt (I jump in to see if I will swim or sink). Maybe I wrote in invisible ink maybe it's my way of communicating that's wrong... But another illlustration is wasted cause the results are the same but every way I try, nothing works. What some take for magic at first glance is just slight of hand depending on what you believe people's ability to carry a meaning accross is just "slight of hand." You can get lucky, or not. And I know now which is which and what angle I oughta look at it from The fact that you don't understand tells me that deep down, you don't want to. So it would only make things worse if you did. I know now not to be so frustrated about this inability to get to you since I know it's better to be "misread" than to be what I will become in your eyes otherwise. and aside from that this chain of reaction baby is losing a link Not only is the love fading, but I can't even get that accross to you. I like her first verse. It shows that she understands exactly what she is doing when she gets emotional. She jumps in on purpose to make herself clear. Because some people just don't understand that there's a fire if you say it calmly (in this case, the fire is the fact that the relationship might end). |

| Elliott Smith – Pitseleh Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
My first love wanted to stay friends after we broke up. I only recently realized it was doing nothing but hurting me. Recently, I finally told her that I didn't want to talk anymore. So here is my closed minded interpretation: i'll tell you why i don't want to know where you are you can't get over someone if you keep wondering how and where they are. i got a joke i been dying to tell you there's always that last thing I want to tell her, but I know I shouldn't call her. Another reason to not know where she is. a silent kid is looking down the barrel to make the noise that i kept so quiet i kept it from you, pitseleh Keeping this relationship up hurts so much, but I kept wanting to keep my pain quier because she wants me to stay, because she is my dear one. i'm not what's missing from your life now i could never be the puzzle pieces she doesn't really need me, but she thinks she does. She feels insecure without me, but that will pass. they say that god makes problems just to see what you can stand before you do as the devil pleases and give up the thing you love I wish this would work out with her, but it's not working. Finally, I'm doing something that feels so wrong, I'm giving up the one I love. but no one deserves it no one deserves the awesome feeling of love, and no one deserves this pain. the first time i saw you i knew it would never last I always knew we were way too different i'm not half what i wish i was I was never enough for you in my mind i'm so angry i don't think it'll ever pass I'm so mad that we have to part, we were so perfect. and i was bad news for you just because i never meant to hurt you It prolonged the pain that I didn't want to hurt her and finish it. This song struck a chord, screw the pun. I really like the light and yet heavy hearted sound of his music. --Mike |
