Feel like I'm trapped and I can't get out
Heart full of pain, head full of doubt
And when I think about it, it just gets worse
The more it hurts the more I know
I've got to see her again

Stuck like a magnet to the freezer door
Face to the sun but my back gets so cold
And when I think about it, it just gets worse
The more it hurts the more I know
I've got to see her again

I'm an incomplete empty vessel
Waiting for the one to fill me up
Waiting for the day to hear you say "I Love You"
But you won't so I'm gonna leave
I do believe I've had enough

Told myself it's all in my mind
Told myself she's not my kind
But when I think about her it just gets worse
The more it hurts the more I know
This heart of mine will never mend

What if she knocked upon my door?
I wonder if I would be strong enough to ignore
That everything about us comes out cursed
The more it hurts the more I know
I've got to see her again

I'm an incomplete empty vessel
Waiting for the one to fill me up
Waiting for the day to hear you say "I Love You"
But you won't so I'm gonna leave
I do believe I've had enough

I feel the pressure comin' on
To the left of right a line has been drawn
But when it comes to my lady, my lady comes first
It always hurts, I'm gonna leave
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna leave I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna leave I do believe I've had enough

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.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
