Black Sheep Lyrics
don't look now, we're branded, we're the black sheep
sown (?) apart messiah (desire?) makes the black sheep
when the water seems too deep the shadows always wait beneath
but laughing loud we brave the row of the black sheep
if you see me you'll be crossing the street
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
with the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
don't look now we're stranded here as black sheep
swallowed whole and out of reach, the black sheep
unsafe but numb by now
were shepherded from higher ground
but drowned all out(?) we saved the row (role?), the black sheep
if you see me you'll be crossing the street
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
with the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
if you see me you'll be crossing the street
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
if you see me you'll be crossing the street (if you see me you'll be crossing the street)
or kick me and then leave me to bleed (or kick me and then leave me to bleed)
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy (i take what it needs to be easy)
if you see me you'll be crossing the street (if you see me you'll be crossing the street)
or kick me and then leave me to bleed (or kick me and then leave me to bleed)
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
with the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
sown (?) apart messiah (desire?) makes the black sheep
when the water seems too deep the shadows always wait beneath
but laughing loud we brave the row of the black sheep
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
with the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
swallowed whole and out of reach, the black sheep
unsafe but numb by now
were shepherded from higher ground
but drowned all out(?) we saved the row (role?), the black sheep
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
with the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
or kick me and then leave me to bleed
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
or kick me and then leave me to bleed (or kick me and then leave me to bleed)
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy (i take what it needs to be easy)
or kick me and then leave me to bleed (or kick me and then leave me to bleed)
if looks could kill wouldn't need all the pills but
i take what it needs to be easy
with the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now
we're the black sheep now

it makes me breathless ...

it's:
...[Sewn] apart [and Siamese] the black sheep When the water seems too deep the shadows [always wait beneath] But laughing loud we brave the [role] of black sheep
...but drowned all [out] we saved the [role] of black sheep
"unsafe enough for now"
"unsafe enough for now"
this song reminds me of people that try to be different for the sake of being "unique". however, they choose to see it as their taking a perceivably less traveled path, and then choose to believe that they are somehow better than someone who many not be as "strange" or "out of the ordinary". they feel they're "brav[ing] the role of black sheep"
and of course, chorus (verse, hook, whatever) that starts with "if you see me you'll be crossing the street" is just beautiful and smooth as hell.
I think this song is about the "outsiders" in our societies and communities. Not that they branded themselves as this, but they were branded by the general masses as 'black sheep'. And instead of trying to get back in, they've just embraced this status or at least accepted it as que cera, cera.
messiah numb for now row - it's a repition of row from the first verse
i'm still waiting on "him"
"don't look now we're stranded here as black sheep swallowed whole and out of reach, the black sheep unsafe but numb by now were shepherded from higher ground but drowned all out(?) we saved the row (role?), the black sheep"
Is it a punishment? the "open window" to enlightened?
