| Keane – A Bad Dream Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Keane are Nihilists, who have a strong sense of truth. Why do I have to fly - Why are there expectations on anything? Over every town up and down the line? - What do you expect of me? Why a solid path or 'line'? I'll die in the clouds above - Death is a part of life. This is undeniable. I'll die ready in the 'clouds' of truth - as I live the truth. And you that I defend, I do not love - I give to you my being, accept my death, accept reality, but i can't see the same thing in you. Yet I still defend you - with all your imperfections. I am here, present, real. Do you love? I wake up, it's a bad dream - I wake up and accept life, reality, truth. People are dreaming because they do not accept reality. No one on my side - Very few know the truth. I was fighting - In my life, I have spent many of my days fighting the truth, desperately trying to label it, understand it. But I just feel too tired to be fighting - I wake up and accept that I am tired, this is ok. There is nothing else to it. Why fight the truth? Guess I'm not the fighting kind - Human was not made to fight like the animals. You fight until your dead, so why fight if we all are here to live. Accept this Where will I meet my fate? - What is next for me in life? Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate - I'm a human, hating is what i do, this is ok. Accept this as I accept death. And when will I meet my end? When will I die? In a better time you could be my friend - If you knew the truth too, perhaps you could understand me, and we could live blissfully. RPT CHORUS Wouldn't mind it - Don't really care, but would be nice, If you were by my side - Self explanatory But you're long gone - You are fearful Yeah you're long gone now - You are fearful and not in the present Yeah Where do we go? - Where now? I don't even know - I don't know, don't have to. I want to let it come. My strange old face - Yes my face is strange, accept it. I do. And I'm thinking about those days - I'm thinking about the past, right now. And I'm thinking about those days - I'm thinking about the past, right now RPT CHORUS |

| James Blake – Limit to Your Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I believe this song critiques the character of one who is superficial in their approach to loving others. The best example of this is in the lyric: "Like a map with no ocean" - The map being the physical object which serves as an indicator for traversing the ocean. Without an ocean, the map remains only an item. "Like a waterfall in slow motion" - The beauty of the waterfall is captured only in fragments. A waterfall is a reflection of the flow of nature. To slow it down is to deceive the viewer into seeing only the beauty of the water and not where it comes from. |
