Dead Boy's Poem (feat. Sam Hardwick) Lyrics
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world.
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty, the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh for better world.
Its already composed, played and told.
Every thought the music I write. Everything a wish for the night.
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry the one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength
Conforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold me lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell - (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you...I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."
A lonely soul - An ocean soul x5
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world.
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty, the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh for better world.
Its already composed, played and told.
Every thought the music I write. Everything a wish for the night.
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry the one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength
Conforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
Show me love, hold me lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell - (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you...I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."

I think this song ia about a young boy who is abused, or at least misunderstood. He never has anyone to talk to, so he puts all his thoughts and feelings down in song. The song becomes his best friend, and he puts all his strength into it, so it can give him the strength he needs to get through life. The song shows all the parts of his soul. Eventually, he tries to make his life better, but no matter what he does, he could never get back to the childlike innocence he used to have. So he tries to learn and he reaches for wisdom, but things are just too much, and the right choice unclear. He can't be God. And he says that people shouldn't sigh and wish for a better world, because the world's song, with all its different parts, has already been written and done. He is doing much the same thing, only for himself. During the spoken part (in quotation marks), he tells people not to remember "him", the silent, misunderstood boy, but the song that iss his soul. Deep down, he wants to be loved, to sit on his mother's lap and feel his heart has a home. He could live forever in that. But instead, he wrote his life and soul on the piano. Since he can't get his wish, and can't fix the problems in his life and the world, he has no passion for anything. He cares about the world, and people, but feels he is wasting air since he has no love, no passion, and nothing to give. He is like the ocean -- necessary but often abused and misunderstood, and terribly, terribly lonely.
I think, you could read Orson Scott Card's "The Unaccompanied Sonata" (quite short) with this - it is also about some boy (and later: man) living a song/writing his life in a song... and "tastes exactly like this song"...

@thanatopsisazraelis I agree completely with your analysis.
@thanatopsisazraelis I agree completely with your analysis.
I believe everyone has music and songs that they relate to a person they know/knew, a time in their lives, an emotion. This is one of mine.
A friend of mine, I met in a children's home, and he became my brother and best friend. He was bullied badly at the home, though never as viciously as at school. Being a fostered child, he suffered abuse at the hands of his peers, knowing he was different to them. Aged 17 he'd had enough, he committed suicide.
This song is powerful, for me, because it reminds me of things he used to say to me. He was a budding poet, though his work was all buried with him. The idea of a "comforting home, mother's lap" is common wish amongst the homes. He also loved me, as I loved him, though I only found out after his death, so the phrase "I wish I didn't feel for you anymore" brings tears to my eyes
This song is simply wonderful...it blew me away...
It's a really sad song... :( The lyrics speak for themselves.
