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.
[intro]
I speak in verses
Prophecies & curses
....I hate my life.
[verse]
No miracle is coming ....[hate you]
It's just a hole
Nothing's wrong with you
Must maintain control
Everyone's asking questions
No place is safe
I'll forfeit resurrection
To escape the pain
... I hate my life.
[chorus]
I HATE MY LIFE.
[verse]
I speak in verses
Prophecies & curses
This storm of thorns is growing ....[hate me]
There's no end in sight
Chaos claws my jaw
& incites a mental riot
I'm in the mouth of madness
With a tongue of poetry
I ate the spine of Atlas
Now the world is crushing me
.... I hate my life.
[chorus]
I HATE MY LIFE.
[outro]
BURIED ALIVE BEHIND ENEMY LINES
SURROGATE CHILD FOR THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND
HATE!!
BURIED ALIVE BEHIND ENEMY LINES
[buried alive, buried alive]
FOR THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND!
I speak in verses
Prophecies & curses
....I hate my life.
[verse]
No miracle is coming ....[hate you]
It's just a hole
Nothing's wrong with you
Must maintain control
Everyone's asking questions
No place is safe
I'll forfeit resurrection
To escape the pain
... I hate my life.
[chorus]
I HATE MY LIFE.
[verse]
I speak in verses
Prophecies & curses
This storm of thorns is growing ....[hate me]
There's no end in sight
Chaos claws my jaw
& incites a mental riot
I'm in the mouth of madness
With a tongue of poetry
I ate the spine of Atlas
Now the world is crushing me
.... I hate my life.
[chorus]
I HATE MY LIFE.
[outro]
BURIED ALIVE BEHIND ENEMY LINES
SURROGATE CHILD FOR THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND
HATE!!
BURIED ALIVE BEHIND ENEMY LINES
[buried alive, buried alive]
FOR THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND!

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
The Spy
Doors, The

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Holiday

@[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.
eh, all i have to say is that i fuckin love everything about this song
