A small collection of song lyrics I resonate with, enjoy, or find memorable for one reason or another.
Does death come alone
Or with eager reinforcements?
Does death come alone
Or with eager reinforcements?
Death is centrifugal
Solar and logical
Decadent and symmetrical
Angels are mathematical
Angels are bestial
Man is the animal
Don't bother peeking at what's under her dress
You should know by now she gets by with less
Your last night together desire arrives like a terrorist
When flesh meets metal all that breaks is the fist
When she was born there must have been a spark
But there's nothing there now in her cold chrome heart
She bites the bullet
So watch it go off
And watch it explode
In her platinum mouth
I am the victim of lying morality
And so, I am beyond caring
I am born ten thousand times
In ten thousand ways
My head swims in spoilt mother's milk
I am too alive
There are too many of me
Too many to kill
They're in my head
They know my name
My name is death
But I am alive
I am alive
Homo deus
By removing death
From our lives
How different has our world become?
We stay young 'til thy kingdom come
Face death, effacing death
From our every day lives
Tell me just how clean have we become?
How safe have we become?
How bleak has it become?
How dead have we become?
You start to admire the flagrant disregard
For the sanctity of other people's lives
By the filthy few in positions of power
Who go for the jugular in order to survive
Disinfect those dangerous rabid dogs
Make sure the kids stay in
'Cause if you wanna be immortal
You gotta have something to trade in
I knew there was no escape
From that embrace
She is more than us
She showed me the wonders
I could never have imagined
Worlds I could never have dreamed: truth, no less
She is
Atomic, petrochemical, genocidal, bad news
She is
Consumer-oriented, globalised, and inhuman
She is
Her name is hidden under layers of layers and pseudonyms
But I know her well
I sleep like a baby
In her many arms
While she strides across the battlefields
Dancing, singing, feeding
I hear your voice sing near to me
I've put away the poisoned chalice
And lie down amongst the flowerbeds
Whichever stars we walk among
We both seek out the darkest red
The wine was turned to blood again
Without this blood we'd both be dead
I've wound myself tight into the hedgerows
Let's see which way the winter wind blows...
They escaped the weight of darkness
To forge a path into the marrow of the spirit
They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy
An emptiness that quells the null
A pool for the forgotten
They escaped the weight of darkness
To drown in another
