Time
Is it just me, or is Pink Floyd’s “Time” one of the most depressing songs ever written?
“Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say”
This song is about the saddest for me. Ryan Adams – Crossed Out Name. Not sure what the real meaning behind is but my interpritation is a guy that can’t get into heaven becuase of something he did.
Orange sky don’t go
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shelf
Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home where we used to live
I live alone
And into bed I go
I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don’t pray I shower and say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes
I feel like a page..
..with a crossed-out name.
with a crossed-out name.
I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word,
For everything but this.
I like the dresses, the shoes, and the clothes.
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl, I suppose.
I wish I could tell you just how Im hurt
Pinpoint the location its in another universe
when I close my eyes
I see a fire so plain
..and my crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see your crossed-out name
