Your obelisks lay fallen.
Victims of erosion.
Stone worn to dust.
Your empire a wasteland.
Accomplishments now null and void.
The aliens now steal your fame.
No one cares that it was you.
Your life's work is science fiction no one cares who it was.
Monuments don't matter when you're dead.
Immortality is not a valid career path for fucking anyone.
I would have rather been playing baseball, or air hockey, or something like that.
Fuck trying to look important.
Fuck a legacy.
Us girls just wanna have fun.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
