Unwell

Definitely my favourite, way back around 2001/2002 (perhaps).
Nice song...Matchbox really makes some good records. Like it ('',)
Unwell by Matchbox 20
All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be..
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train

I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be….
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away…

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be…

Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

There is always something left to love. And if u ain't learned that, u ain't learned nothing.

Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965)

Butterfly

tedErmm..how do I elaborate this song ya…well, this may not a really well-known song, maybe. But for me, this song has its own melancholic which intoxicated me. And if u guyz are wondering, this song is somewhere from the year 96/97.
Butterfly by Weezer

Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely Butterfly

When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away

I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent

If I'm a dog then you're a bitch


I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasies
A life of chasing butterfly


I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry… I'm sorry…
I'm sorry….
Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are
(John Dryden; 1631-1700)

Superman (Its Not Easy)

Another fav song, some time ago.



Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five For Fighting

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird
I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd
But don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away
Away from me
It’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy
Or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It’s not easy to be me

Motorcycle Drive By

Sigh..its March in 2009 already. Time's running fast.
Again..this is something from the year 1998. To me, its the best song in 3EB debut album. Tho they're famous for the 'Semi-charmed life', but love this the most.
The music, the lyrics..i'm kind of feel like turning back to that year. The lyrics..suits me well (at that time, definitely)..Yup, life goes on, so please wake-up and smells your coffee.
What's done, is done. Get-up!!


Motorcycle Drive By by Third Eye Blind



Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
in lower Chelsea
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch

When I came to visit you
That's when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've
Never been so alive

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind
You smile
And say the world it doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you
You're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt
You're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you

And there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you'll never see it happen

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've
I've never been so alive


And there's this burning
There is this burning...

Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone would see through that

And this is the last time
We'll be friends again
And I'll get over you
And you'll wonder who I am

And there's this burning,
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I've, and I've
I've never been so alive

So alive....

I go home to the coast it starts to rain I paddle out on the water
Alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming
To take me...home...

And I never been so alone
And I've never been so alive
