It’s all like one vast and manifold contradiction.
The philosopher’s nightmare;
The romantic’s dream.
It’s all like one vast and manifold contradiction.
The philosopher’s nightmare;
The romantic’s dream.
God, what are you trying to teach me?
This is a part of a song I wrote, which I recorded myself at home.
Wrote it quite a while back. It’s about human relationships and how we are so capable of causing pain in so many ways. Sometimes it seems like we can’t win; either we don’t love somebody enough, or we love them too much.
Lyrics:
We always lean
Too close
And we always hold
Too tight
–
And we always try
Too hard
And we always learn
Too late
–
And we always run
Too far
And we always look
Too high
—————-
And we always dream
Too big
And we always dig
Too deep
–
And we always wait
Too long
And we always mean
Too well
–
And we always love
Too much
And we’ll never know
Just what we could have been
Oh hold me close
Hold me close
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Perhaps not all of our desires can be explained.
