rakkauden ja epätoivon laulu

Try to do more: reimagine, start anew
Becoming less than before - what we all knew
And did not want it to be
This will be the end of me

Lift up and out, to have the courage to say
That we'll need more than a shout to find the way

[in progress; yes I skipped the second formulation, I have sketches for that, just not enough to type up.]

Version 2

Try to do more - re-imagine, start anew
Becoming less than before - what we knew
And did not want you to be
Stepping down takes you away from home

We take up the torch you left behind
When you cast away the very thing
That once made you who you are
We feared you would choose this way

A radical change of direction (not unexpected)
Abandoning our full attention (not undetected)
Shattering all preconception (you could be better than that!)
What we loved of you remains
But the magic lives only in us now

"Dropping out of school to pursue a band full-time is dedication.
Dropping out of school because, in part, of the desperation to find a band to do the above with perhaps, is disappointment of the highest order."


~Toinen petos~
I was right to doubt you, but wrong to think
that you would redeem yourself in your truth.

A light is binding [sic] me to the door to eternity
And I'm falling, falling through
"I'm not the one I thought I always knew..."

So you, Awakener, ever wand'ring sojourner
[
[

Burrowing, tunneling
The lie I lived was yours alone
Regression, ascension
And here I'm digging my own grave^**

I never forgave you...what makes you think I will now?
Some things never change, Theiyonus.





_{* DT + (Sense of Humour) = Good Thing. They've beat me to pretty much all of the clever ideas I wanted to use in my own creations >.< Like crazy cross-album musical and lyrical references. And supposed concert antics. And other totally awesome things like that. I think I've found my genre. ^.^
** Damn you, parallelism.}
