If I could be anything at all
I'd be an angel spread my wings and fly away
But I'm stuck here on the ground
So I'll see you around
You'll hear me piss and moan and complain

If I could be anything at all
I'd be an angel spread my wings and fly away
But I'm stuck here on the ground
So I'll see you around
You'll hear me piss and moan and complain

I coulda guessed the day would come
That you would consider me scum
The day is here, all the signs were there
And I always prayed that you would stay
But instead you walked away
The feeling's gone, the pain dwells on

Long days long nights
The feelings just not right
I pick up a pen and pad and I start to write
Thinking about our last fight
It was a cold and rainy night

I coulda guessed the day would come
That you would consider me scum
The day is here, all the signs were there
And I always prayed that you would stay
But instead you walked away
The feeling's gone, the pain dwells on and on and on
The pain dwells on and on

I coulda guessed the day would come
That you would consider me scum
The day is here, all the signs were there
And I always prayed that you would stay
But instead you walked away
The feeling's gone, the pain dwells on and on and on
The pain dwells on and on

    yeah, they are great live. i didn't really pay attention to them the first time i saw them live though. i liked them, and i bought thier new cd the first day it came out, but i was like, "YEAH!!!GOOD CHARLOTTE!" so i didn't really foucus on them. then i really got into mest after that time, cuz they rocked even if i was out of it. then i just saw them again a few weeks ago. they're so fucking awesome. and they're really nice...could be the pot though...

Ave Grave
Thee More Shallows
So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Jesse with the long hair....
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
