@[JOSHevansSings:21573]: Oh Exactly! Stay away from people who have holes in their shoes! Like Jesus sandals or peep toe high heels. They will take everything from you and leave you for dead by the side of the road, they would never make you money. "Can I go to the show? can I go to the show? I want first row tickets! All my friends will think I'm cool, then I'll take all their money and laugh! It will be so much fun, I'll get away scot free, living the high life with my new lover. who I'll just kick out of the plane when we are flying 40,000 miles up, then I'll get another. I will laugh and laugh at how powerful and desired I am. I'll dangle the high life in front of their face, sing songs of riches and the "good" life beyond their belief, to lure them into my plane. You can tell everyone that will listen, but no one will believe you. Tell your therapist how mean I am. Scream as loud a you like, no one will hear you. Maybe Jesus' miracles after they take him down from the cross, will "Keep You Standing", but you won't even notice- you believe only in your own- "all powerful, gladiator"- self. Watch what's able to get inside when you zone out and believe the brain dead zombies' cheers. They just have scar tissue between their ears from their undiagnosed seizures after insisting inhumane behavior is ok. Maybe you believe you are baptizing them all on your glory. Gold shoes; fur warrior diapers; pointy, tin helmet; calf dagger, assless chaps; criss-crossed chest harness and rhinestone glasses, are waiting for you in this heaven on earth. Wear them proudly, even if you're not able to see your new clothes, as you walk down the aisle. Happy for you!! You should have it all! Get a beautiful wife and sing love songs for her. Everyone will believe you, because it's true. You can see it in your eyes as you swoon in love and heavenly grace. You're just a dream come true. |

| Amos Lee – Cup of Sorrow Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow, The person using the pronoun "I" in this song benefits somehow from breaking hearts. I want to bathe in your holy blood. We'll assume here the "your" is a woman and she's righteous or "holier than thou" about the break up with the man she threw out of their home. Women always have a story. I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow, I know tomorrow may never come. He wants to sleep over at her place, so he tells her they will last in love. But he knows tomorrow will never come. I send a prayer out across the ocean, To a man that?s forced out of his home. He's pissed that the man was mistreated. Bro's before ho's sort of thing. He listened to her side of the story and he can't relate. Though he consoled her so he could sleep over. I want to drink from your cup of sorrow, He's going to be sweet, make all sorts of happy promises and then he's going, then look her in the eyes and go dead inside. I want to bathe in your holy blood. YES! Bathe in your self righteous blood bitch. That man you kicked out sounded, from my side, might've been a good buddy of mine and now he's crying somewhere without a home. You're all the same, bitches! Now it's my turn to exact revenge. I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow, I know tomorrow may never come. I'm going to lie to you, then tell you the brutal truth. I want to sit at your table of wisdom, So that not one crumb shall go to waste, I'm going to listen how frustrating it was to be with a man who didn't make any sense, and couldn't satisfy your needs physically or emotionally in anyway. He will understand her troubles - if she had any, hear her complaints - if she had any. He's going to love every crumb your explanations, logic and appreciate your wisdom, logic and then let his anger fester until he has to do it again. For if we keep down this pathway to destruction, Oh will our children will suffer for our haste. He is explaining the "why" for his behavior - he needs to teach her a lesson because she left her kids fatherless because of her "wisdom" (logic). This needs to change. The real problem is, as he understands it, is that she didn't have sympathy for her man needs. She should've had sympathy for his need to have carnal knowledge of other women and men. She should sent him off with a knapsack full of gifts to the going to low-down, trailer parks to have fun, staying out all night, sneaking into brothels, tapping strange women's... phones and leaving receipts from strip clubs and dirty hotels lying around, then punching holes in walls whenever she got upset with his behavior. I want to drink from your cup of sorrow, I want to bathe in your holy blood. I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow, I know tomorrow may never come [x3] He uses the word "may." She might sleep with him and she might be good in bed. That's why he uses "may" in the chorus. He won't get ANY love if he doesn't use the word "may" with all of them. |

@[guywenchPhD:19216] Thank you again, Dr. Guywench for your profound understanding of the gay man's mind. It's eye opening for me to read such a personal account of a man's experience coming out of the closet, which you failed to outline. What exactly did you mean when you said it was like crossing over a long bridge? Did it mean that you were gay before you went on your World Symposium Tour: "How To Survive Torture?" Would you ever think to do that tour again. If so is there a website where i could find out more information? This song is very powerful to me as a listener. It reminds of the when I finally came out of the closet. It was exactly like the feeling when you walk over a long bridge. This was very difficult for me to write. I hope you enjoy my song and feel it in your heart as deeply as it is for me. If not, I apologize for this disturbance that will surely rattle your brain. It is a very pivotal moment when a boy becomes man and a man becomes a father. well I walked over the bridge into the city where I live and I saw my old landlord His ball and chain (his boyfriend) in the studio. Land Lord, the Lord of the Land. Where you the Lord of the Sky when you were on your World Symposium Tour: "How to Survive Torture?" I'm very interested in learning more. well, we both said hello there was nowhere else to go cause his rent I couldn’t afford Was that like his Hello Again Song and Her Hello Song on 25, 25 Years From Now? Was She his Land Lord After the London Bridge that he walked over Burned Down? You could have been president of the united states rolling in the deep. What was my boyfriend thinking at the time was always "MINE" it wasn't yours it was "MINE!" "MINE!" "MINE!" You know it was, you owed me that money you threw all over the place except at me. You left me alone, of course I was going to party, of course I was going to make friends, and of course they were going to tell me you owed me money. I was you muse for you World Symposium Tour: How To Survive Torture podcast subscription for fun. We need lots of computers. it will be fun for you since you are obsessed only with social media. You are the one who was nuts. Don't you dare say that to me it hurt me as deep as you can hurt a person. Dr. Wench you have a responsibility not to throw that word around with any old body, speaking of which Dr. Wench, we heard you were planning to go back and get your bitches from before. Does this mean you are getting the old bitches? Or the bitches in general that you knew from before? Because the old bitches that you knew from before have to be pretty old now. Youre with 19 and 20 year olds all the time I hear around town back here. But you're gay too. what's that ? bye bi bye bi? What the hell is that?! Dude i don't like dead people and you're falling fast out of a plane. The boyfriend he was seeing, suddenly wanted a lot of money. The Lord of the Land suddenly wanted money. Wasn't this sort of like a tax to the Queen? Wasn't it the gift that you must bring, offering it up while kneeling? Was your boyfriend the Supreme Queen, Lord of the Land, Land Lord Queen? well relationships change though I think its kind of strange Was it Strange that your boyfriend was sleeping around with Strange people? That he gave you diseases? Do I mean strange as in the man's definition of strange sex? i don't know. At least that's what you mentioned in your book, How to Jump Out of the Airplane, Without a Parachute, Not Realizing It the Entire Time, Or Even Believing It, Enjoying Yourself. It's Over. You Were A Drop In The Bucket Buddy. You're A Cold Blooded Torturer. You wrote Chill in the Air about what your little buddy Sam Smith must be thinking after your one night stand. That's what dads warn them about. And it was a pivotal moment for you. A son, the Son of Sam, the devil, because a father, he now knows what to teach the sons, so many sons, so many, so many, so many sons. how money makes a man grow His boyfriend had been a gold digger all the time, but this one lost because he didn't wait, so he threw money at him in a crying storm. some people they claim if you get enough fame He was the boyfriend to Ricky Martin like person who was heading a World Symposium Tour wearing a very nice red jacket by the way. In a Ricky Martin sort of way. He decided right then and there, that he was going to be famous and nothing, not even having to shave his beard and carry a microphone and putting the guitar aside until he need to pick it up. He had to hop across the stage. It's a big put down to his boyfriend Ricky Martinish World Symposium Torture Survivor. Its a big put down to his his boyfriend who didn't believe him in the first time. You threw everything away last time. You have to save everything you don't have that great of a memory, that's a crying shame. you live over the rainbow it's a relief not feel the suffering he brought him and he wasn't going to feel that pain again. you live somewhere over the rainbow flag, of being categorized, Mainstream, or Anti-Mainstream, beyond this, like a Tantric master, but exactly the opposite. over the rainbow non stop sexual feelings, like Ricky Martin but on a World Symposium Tour How to Survive Torture, I believe in you and your ability to inflict pain. I have someone I'd like to meet. but the people on the street out on buses or on feet we all got the same blood flow Here is threatening people. Just letting you know, you bleed too. I got lots of people I'd like you to meet. oh, in society every dollar got a deed His boyfriend is now apart of society, high society and he knows he's better than everyone. that kind of Boyfriend. But he actually is. What do you do about that are you going to judge me with your inferior minds that i can run circles around? What's wrong with their fans are they zombies? Are they just compost for the cars, tires, tennis shoes? I don't like your fans. I don't like them at all. He is furiously upset how he was lead on by this man who told him he loved him and was his first love. We met in college. I was a prodigy. I finished college when I was 15. i had a crush on him, he played the guitar, and I played the flute. we all need a place where we can go We is used here as the Royal We. He is actually telling his former long term boyfriend that he can go to hell. i was amazed and upset because he asked for money, that money was going to be his anyway. i loved him. my money was of course his money. He got nervous, I don't know. I had no intention of leaving him, I don't know what he was thinking. We couldn't marry back then. Isn't it hard enough without 2 gay men being able to get married? Hey! Calm down. We are both gay. I'm still gay, i didn't go back to being bi or straight. i just stayed gay the entire time. I really do love you. But you'll get mad at me for the same reason and throw a crying fit. You lose your shit all the time. Lose the shit, it is attracted to corn. this is driving me nuts. they don't have a memory that lasts more than 2 seconds, they don't know where they are or what year this is, not even the time. something is wrong with them deep down and i'm not going to go there, it like Einstein said there is no end to space and there is no end to human happiness. and feel over the rainbow Where do we go to get free sex? To those that were born to people that were free sexually. the will degenerate to the point of having no arms just hands grown out of shoulders at that point we don't have to refer to them as humans but they do keep the necrophiliacs at bay the ones who stay home in the basement eating human head stew, knawing on cats because living animals taste good. We have to keep them around we removed the people who were killing them and have them not moving so the environment is out of balance. i'll keep them busy while you go out with Ricky on the weekends. They don't even read this, they are just buzzing from the cameras. They zone and moan. Something is wrong with them. They can't be put down, so i don't feel bad any more. Watch this....what the hell is that? They are the thing that keep the live rat eaters down, the ones that will cut open their friends head and eat their brains while they are still alive. They love it. They are stupid as shit, but they keep worse shit down. and sometimes we forget what we got He forgot all about his boyfriend, and the money he took from him. who we are, I am a gay lover. and who we are not I think we got a chance to make it right keep it loose keep it tight keep it tight I’m in love with a girl who’s in love with the world girl is used in the "You Go Girl" sense. It turned out my old boyfriend was cheating on me, he was meeting men on Craigslist and then inviting them to gather in a large party setting. Those men counseled him to leave me after i came home from my world symposium tour: "How to Survive Torture" and get the money he owed him for being the person who inspired him to write those songs. and I can’t help but follow he follows the weekend home and parties all the time now, (my past boyfriend.) though I know someday she is bound to go away Again the She is use "She So Sexy" phrase mostly heard by stylish, effementish gay men, cross dressers, and stay over the rainbow gotta learn how to let her go Again with the reversed homovulpine use of the personal her Go Go around the World you know what i mean, they are human beings right now on a quick stop over to hell for uncountable eons. over the rainbow Over the rainbow flag, beyond gay into another space where he would not get hurt. sometimes we forget who we got My boyfriend, FOR SURE, forgot who he got who they are and who they are not Who his fans are and who they are not. I'll keep them busy they won't be able to go to your show they never leave their house and they stay in their glass bubble, and their are only 5 of them. You can give up this obsession you have with social media. thank your father. there is so much more in love than black and white Anti-Mainstream: Bears, Cubs, Lumberjack Hipster (notice no beard:signifying mainstream love and sex), sado masochism, necrophiliacs, cannibalistic necrophiliacs, goreaphiles: people who obsess over gaping wounds in a large muscle group, even creating them a victim and using it as their cavity of choice: those that eat dead bodies while engaging in sex with the dead body they are eating at the same time.molesters, rapists, sado masochists, people with only 3 emotions: jealousy, anger, self pity, they do exist. These are people actual people, they are not animals as they would rather be, but they have two hands, feet, 1 face, a torso, 2 ears, 2 eyes, 1 mouth, all parts of the human. We know they exist, it is impossible to deny. Then there is the other side of that,which experiences more popularity called, Mainstream. At least there is almost none of the other going on. If we find out they cross over to the other side of the bridge. Which I did, it was time to move on in my life. I walked over the bridge. Black and White. I learned there was no gray area in love. It actually was black and white. There are 2 sides and only 2. That is why I am going over the rainbow. Sounds like you could have summed it all up by calling them zombies, we have unblacken your eyes to their gore sexual practices. keep it loose child gotta keep it tight keep it loose child keep it tight keep it tight The last I saw of him was in a coffee shop. He didn't recognize me. I had changed. He was talking to a man in his twenties, sounded like he was sharing about his gay relationships in the past. But of course it would. It's just sort of weird and fun. I like women. I wasn't born gay. I tried it, it didn't turn me off. I now keep my legs crossed very very tight. They both laughed. i didn't know what it meant exactly. It could be relating a story and I caught only one end of it. It could be that he was bi-sexual instead of gay and then he was planning on "giving it all up" to be straight. Say goodbye like My Private Idaho. The Bridge he walked over, for me, was the Golden Gate Bridge, to the city where I live. But for him it seemed he had decided not to be gay? All I know was that I didn't feel pain anymore. it had been white knuckle deep down in my bones pain with cancer and other chronic problems for 12 years, with fatique syndrom and chrones disease, two very difficult disease which are very difficult to diagnose and cause severe chronic pain. |

The realness of this song is in your face and you have to deal with it. The songwriter doesn't realize those he's warning, (when he says: "he's not stopping"), don't have fathers to explain the ups and downs of lovey, gospel, soulster, swingers. I mean Adele, Norah, Sam Smith (getting in the middle), Rachaels and CB2's are happy to learn, but Jim Carey's gf wasn't. The gospel message in this song is that swingers are not good fathers to singers, and that we all must look only to God as our father. |

| Amos Lee – I'm not myself Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Very few people know that Amos Lee, in addition to the new jack swing and contemporary r&b that he enjoyed during his youth, was a huge fan of the band Menudo. His admiration of Latin pop group didn't fade, and when he read the famous interview the Ricky Martin gave in 2000 which hinted at the true heart's desires, he was inspired to write this song about the tumultuous love affair that Martin had for 14 years with super model Rebecca de Alba. Almost marrying her and starting a family. In 1999 the Living the Viva Loca Tour made it to Philadelphia, and the Summer of 2000 The 'Living the Crazy Life" Tour headed to the major Southern states. Every Ricky Martin fan knew of his "love affair" and its trials with Rebecca de Alba. That 14-year relationship and its crazy life was in fact the inspiration behind "I'm Not Myself" by Amos Lee. |

| Amos Lee – Violin Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| The singer just wants to "talk" to a musician who plays the violin. She keeps telling him that she has to practice the violin. The winter in the city, the business and other songwriter/loves who "use words as ammunition" are bringing him down and he just wants to hang out with someone who understands. | |

This song is the singer songwriter sending a word of advice about how to view their accountant and tax auditor to the women in his life who he loves. Misty mountain lady: "Misty" as defined by urban dictionary is a totally hot chick. adjective dang - she's totally misty Won't you borrow me tonight: Borrow meaning take: Won't youu take up my time I'm gon' keep you company Oh until the morning light: It's going to be a long night with the tax man because his misty ladies are making bank I don't want you to be untrue I don't want you to be untrue: This here is the tax man's job to make sure they aren't untrue to what they owe "the man" But the truth is I'm the man who wants you: Here "the man" in power, wants what is owed to the state. Sit right down, and I will I'm gon' deal you in this hand Let the game come easily You don't have to understand: The tax man is going to include her in the figuring out the dollars owed, don't fret too much. You don't have to understand, he's got it. .................. Misty mountain lady Won't you borrow me tonight I ain't him and this ain't when He did not treat you right: Here he's just doing his job. Please don't swear, or treat him like he's robbing you. chorus |

| Amos Lee – El Camino Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"Well all my friends treated me so well": This is sarcastic. His friends didn't treat him well. "You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean Heading down the border road called the El Camino They told him there was an industry party at the Mission Inn and Spa in California. Well I've been a prince, you know I've been opposed. By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows I believe in all I've loved and all I have seen Heading down border road called the El Camino": He believed in his friends and that he could trust them. When he got to the pary a bunch of Prince's people confront him and opposed the references that were often made comparing the artists. One of them had a tatoo of barbed wire around his bicept. The border road is the road you walk when you're about to cross a line. "Yeah my hearts grown sick, I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick And I'm heading on. Yeah my hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you I don't know what to do But I'm moving on, yeah I'm moving on": As the party got going he drank too much and did somethings he regretted. He ended up limping out of there the next day. He had a girlfriend back home that received some photos of his activities.They broke up. "One and one is two, two and two is four I'm walking back and forth On your cracked tiled kitchen floor With the orange juice and the sun that shines It really breaks my heart leaving you behind, It really breaks my heart leaving you behind": He wished he would've brought his girlfriend (1 and 1 is 2, a couple) He wouldn't of gotten involved in a 4-some with a woman that had a spray tan so thick they called her orange juice. The sun was definitely shining that night and they did a lot of back and forth on the kitchen floor. All my ships have sailed away The price of this politic, That there's plenty of time to play. Plenty of time to waste away." His girlfriend is gone. He struck a deal with Prince's people, now there is plenty time to play, plenty of time to waste away. "Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most You know I'm heading out to that other coast Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean Heading down the border road, called the El Camino, Heading down the border road, called the El Camine.": He trusted his friends but, he'll never talk to them again. He's head back to the East Coast to try and work it out with his girlfriend. |

| Amos Lee – Behind Me Now Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"All my best days are behind me now": Best days are happy days. This person considered themselves happy at one time, but no longer. "Photographs tell of my wedding vows": He/She believed in marriage at one time. But not at the moment. Death or divorce currently seem to be jading the person speaking. "And if you want heroes then I'd sail up to the stars": For some reason this person, or the person who died/divorced this person, was considered a hero.But don't talk to this person, about it now, not when he or she is about to sin. "For all I got beneath my skin are tears and scars": Something, someone or many harsh experiences tore and scarred this person's life. Scars don't happen by themselves, they come from somewhere. Life experiences have jaded this person. "Walked in these shoes ten thousand miles": Been abused by others perceptions, don't judge until you've walked in someone elses shoes, in this case not just a mile, but 10,000 - so the person is exhausted 'Nobody knows what I've been through', I'm not planning on being an angel tonight, and no one should expect me to. "Been through all sorts of bleating trials": Could be whatever disaster happened to end his/her marriage required trials in front of a judge. If 10,000 miles is required to walk in his/her shoes, it was probably a big deal and not just a metaphor for regular trials and tribulations of daily life. Walking in these shoes is sometimes used as a metaphor for abuse that had to be endured. "So if you want heroes then I'll tell you where to go": If you expect this person to be an angel and care about what people want, he/she will tell them to go ....themselves. He or she is no angel tonight. "I'll sell you a map to thank the faces that you know": In other words, people could care less about the real person, people spend a lot of time watching tv or going to the movies for their stories watching actors. "Oh but for now I'll just be at this all night show": I'm just going to perform, pretend, for this audience tonight. "Oh yes tonight I'll spend my lonely dollar slow": I'm getting paid,to act this way. "Yes I've loved and lost and loved again": I've remarried. "Happy ever afters never been" I'm real, I'm jaded, tonight I'm having an affair. "And if you want love than I suggest that you not wait Cause I will know not what I've waited at heaven's gate": Advice -Life is short, your going to die, get it when you can. Right now. "All my best days are behind me now Still I find a way to live somehow." Sounds like a conversation with a stranger in a bar. Sounds like they are a night club act and don't want swooners. Life mistreated them, they didn't find a second love that satisfied, he or she excused themselves to have affairs. Hopefully they were able to shake it off and cheer up the next day, and it wasn't their whole life. |
