hehehe
that song still plays on the radio of my mind from time to time and I didn't watch much television as a child... maybe it's a libra thing. It's nice to hear all of it instead of the few words my brain remembered.

Great song.

Remember The Tinman
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BksJ99wIuCw

There are locks on the doors
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside
Theres a gate and a fence
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside
Who stole your heart left you with a space
That no one and nothing can fill

Who stole your heart who took it away
Knowing that without it you cant live
Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key

Who stole your heart
The smile from your face
The innocence the light from your eyes
Who stole your heart or did you give it away
And if so then when and why
Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief
Who stole your heart and the key

Now all sentiment is gone
Now you have no trust in no one

Who stole your heart
Did you know but forget the method and moment in time
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank
Who hurt your heart
Bruised it in a place
That no one and nothing can heal

Youve gone to wizards, princes and magic men
Youve gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent
But still all sentiment is gone
But still you have no trust in no one

If you can tear down the walls
Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades
If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay
And dont forget that you defend an empty space
And remember the tinman
Found he had what he thought he lacked
Remember the tinman
Go find your heart and take it back

"Only"

I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away
And well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself [x2]
Sometimes I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world that is
Cause it doesn't really matter anymore
(no it doesn't really matter anymore)
No it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore

Yes I am alone but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself

[x2]
I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah
And I just made you up to hurt myself

And it worked.
Yes it did!

[Chorus:]
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no ******* you
There is only me
There is no ******* you
There is only me

Only [x4]

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone, I kept picking at the scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through

Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now I know why, now, now, now I know why
Things aren't as pretty
On the inside

Then these for a chaser to undo the damage done.

And Daf, if you see this... I saw your response on the other thread and I want you to know that although I thought you were on a "permanent vacation" when you first came back to Wax (and dissed my Bard thread, dayyyyum), I am back to thinking your are deeply artistic and smart, with mostly the best intentions. hehe (We all have our not-the-best-intentions moments it seems...)

love to all

Happy Valentine's Eve to all and to all a goodnight.

I couldn't even watch one of them all of the way through. I guess my mind is a rather nice place after all... I would want to kill myself if I had stuff like that playing in my mind all of the time. I still haven't recovered from too much listening to the Pixie F#@%*rs Christmas Album when I was a teenager. I would type some but you wouldn't be able to guess what it was saying because there would be too many ****** #$%^%&$&&@. It suffices to say that it tainted many innocent Christmas songs and stole the beauty of them. My mind forever tries to replace some beautiful spiritual lyrics with disgusting filth. I feel sad about it from time to time (well, whenever it happens, it's been getting better but it takes mental training). A real loss of innocence. That's something else I think about in my quest to help troubled teens. It said that the above girl/band toured with Marilyn Manson in someone's comment.

THE SHOW

To breathe, to live, just look at the shape you're in
You laugh, you cry, the time seems to pass you by

Don't wanna know, just want to feel it
Look at the show, the show that makes you feel you're in
Hold on and fight it, fight your feelin'
Look at the show, the show that makes you feel you're in

The show, you feel it
The show, you need it
The show, you feel it
The show, you need it
Look at the show

Cover your eyes, the picture is painting lies
The fear, the hate, why can't they just delay

Don't wanna know, just want to feel it
Look at the show, the show that makes you feel you're in
Hold on and fight it, fight your feelin'
Look at the show, the show that makes you feel you're in

The show, you feel it
The show, you need it
The show, you feel it
The show, you need it
Look at the show...

What a hypocritical song, lol.

It reminds me of nearly every New Age pretention out there;
people deny anything that can have a negative connotation,
but then they do it themselves, and call it something else,
and they think that, because they have denied it,
and renamed it, they arent really doing it. Bull.

We are all trying to change eachother,
whether we admit it to ourselves or not.
Everything you put out there,
you put out there for a reaction,
and because you think it makes a difference;
i.e. a CHANGE. Don't kid yourself.
We are indeed in this together,
and even the man who wishes to change himself
makes frequent use of others to test his views,
and to provoke him into seeing things in a different light.
How we see things determines how we change,
so, you cant just tell someone to change,
you have to help them to see things differently.

And you cant just tell them to change how they see things,
and then think that you've done your good deed for the day.
You have to actually contribute points of view.
And those points of view have to withstand scrutiny;
and, if you have not scrutinized them yourself,
you may be shocked and taken aback by the scrutiny of others.
You may even conclude that others are hostile towards you
because they do not take a superficial view of your words,
and simply accept your words at face value,
surrendering their will to your authority.

Its different for all of us,
and its easy to look at someone who provokes us
to scrutinize our views as "backwards".
We think, if they dont simply agree with,
and act on, our words, it is because they are
purely disagreeable and resistant to change.
But they may have as much to teach us
as we believe we have to teach them.

Some people make superficial changes all thru life,
and some people prepare all life long for a real change.
Everybody's journey is different,
everybody is at a different point,
and even this life is only one bend in the road.
The man who walks up the hillside thinks about ascending,
and has plenty of advice to give about ascending.
But he forgets the valleys behind him,
and does not expect the valleys ahead.
He does not think of the path through the mountain,
or the paths underground, but only thinks of himself,
and the landscape that he sees just before him.

When a man engages us, seeking to learn and to teach,
we are pleased if he is at least somewhat in agreement with us.
And, if he is not in agreement with us,
we conclude that he has work to do off by himself, lol.
The man who goes against the grain is the rarest,
and the most needed to effect a balanced environment,
but he is the one that everyone sees as "backwards".
Every time he speaks, we think he is
merely being defensive and/or antagonistic.
When he does not settle for superficial answers,
and challenges us to go deeper, or give more or ourselves,
we conclude that he is merely dense and needy.
But could it perhaps be possible that his truth,
however different from our own, is valid,
and that his contrariness and frustration are part and parcel
of the journey of every "backwards" man.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
~ G.B. Shaw

Por el camino del sitio mio
un carretero alegre paso
con su cancion que es muy sentida
y muy guajira alegre canto

Me voy al transbordador
a descargar la carreta (bis)
para cumplir con la meta
de mi pequena labor

A caballo vamos pa'l monte
a caballo vamos pa'l monte (bis)

Yo trabajo sin reposo
para poderme casar (bis)
y si lo llego a lograr
sere un guajiro dichoso

A caballo vamos pa'l monte
a caballo vamos pa'l monte (bis)

Soy guajiro y carretero
y en el campo vivo bien (bis)
porque el campo es el eden
mas lindo del mundo entero

A caballo vamos pa'l monte
a caballo vamos pa'l monte (bis)

Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano
recoge el fruto, de tu sudor (bis)

Rough Translation:

On the path by my place
Passed a wagon, happily,
With its sentient song -
Its joyous country anthem.

I'm off towards the ferry
To disburden all my cart
And carry through the very goal
Of my humble labor's aims.

To the mountain on horseback we go.
To the mountain on horseback we go.

I travail without repose
So that I may one day marry
And in this, if I succeed,
I shall be a right guajiro.

To the mountain on horseback we go.
To the mountain on horseback we go.

I'm a guajiro and wagoneer
And in the country I live well
Because the country is an Eden,
Most sublime of all the world.

To the mountain on horseback we go.
To the mountain on horseback we go.
