The singer/bass player died recently. Way too young. One of my all time fave bands.

 

 

Hey Bacchus

She hates me

Hey Bacchus

She hates me

 

The street lamps light a wet old red hook road

A furry vino tinted slave

Molten oil painted brooklyn bridge

(cobblestone grave)

 

A lonely blue girl guards the river bed

She shakes her brown torch at the tide

On pier six we'd creep and count the cracks

(side by side, see, we're counting cracks)

 

Your mom was out wearing herself inside

I'll stop the train to say hello

A used boyfriend's just bought her this new car

(I said I know)

 

-Togetherburn-

 

She said burn

Together

Burn

We'll burn together

 

Now don't believe she'll never leave again

I can't forget the words she said way back when

 

She said burn

We'll burn together

Layne Staleys last song with Alice in Chains in 1999 called "Died" ...It was about his girlfriend Dimetri obviously, she had died back in 1995 or so and that when layne headed downhill bigtime. Everyone said when she died so did he...

 

 

 

I could climb until I reach where angels reside

Ask around to find out where the junkies applied

You just up and left me on this rock all alone

It's my fault for knowing not what I should have known


Ohhhhhhhh

My heart is dried up, beating slow

Ohhhhhh

It's been deflating since you... Died

Died

Since you... Died

You... Died


I could drop until I touch the sinister side

Visit all attractions flippin' back and aside

Still you leave me rotting on this rock all alone

It's my fault for knowing not what I should have known


Ohhhhhhhh

My heart is dried up, beating slow

Ohhhhhh

It's been deflating since you... Died

Died

Since you... Died

You... Died


Ohhhhhhh

My heart is dried up, beating slow

Ohhhhhh

It's been deflating since you... Died

Died

Since you... Died

You... Died


I could climb until I reach where angels reside

I could drop until I touch the sinister side


Ohhhhhhhh

My heart is dried up, beating slow

Ohhhhh

It's been deflating since you... Died

Died

Since you... Died

You... Died

Died

You... Died

Died

You... Died

-Gin Blossoms - Lost Horizons-

 

 

she had nothing left to say, so she said she loved me, and I stood there grateful for the lie

 

 

 

and also from the same song

 

 

turn summer trees to bones and ice

turn insect songs against the night

with words we build and words we break

I'm drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

For a pretty run-of-the-mill 90s alt-rock band, Gin Blossoms had a lot of depressing lyrics, actually.

 

 

Yeah, I'll listen to that New Miserable Day album and almost every song will get me kinda weepy - then when you find out one of their main lyricists got kicked out of the band just before they broke big and then ended up killing himself it winds up just weighing on my mind.

He said I'll love you 'til I die

She told him you'll forget in time

As the years went slowly by

She still preyed upon his mind

 

He kept her picture on his wall

Went half crazy now and then

He still loved her through it all

Hoping she'd come back again

 

Kept some letters by his bed

Dated 1962

He had underlined in red

Every single I love you

 

I went to see him just today

Oh but I didn't see no tears

All dressed up to go away

First time I'd seen him smile in years

 

He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath upon his door

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today

 

You know she came to see him one last time

Oh and we all wondered if she would

And it kept running through my mind

This time he's over her for good

?"I'll make the most of all the saddness,

You'll be a bitch because you can.

You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty

Cause you can't understand."

 

John Mayer, Slow Dancing In A Burning Room.

 

To be honest, the entire Continuum album was a lyrical masterpiece. Battle Studies however. Was not.

XMAS DAY - Sevendust

One step in the dark, touch her hand just to see if she's all alone again

Still she hasn't seen sun, but I promise you now when she wakes there will be none

Don't know how she gets by, sleeps with a phone on her chest and a bottle that's totally dry

Forgets the day I was born but if she saw me right now, she would hold me until we both die

I could be the one who would die to feel you breathe.

 

I could break into a million pieces so just run as fast as you can for me

You mean everything

 

I can't deny her. I'll do whatever to stop all the bleeding that makes her world so red

Such a delicate one. She screams so loud that I run to hide from the sound

And I could be the one who would die to feel you breathe

But it's too far gone, and this love must die.

I could be the one who would die to feel you breathe.

 

I could break into a million pieces so just run as fast as you can for me

You mean everything

Stop me if you've heard this one before:

A man walks into a bar and leaves before his ashes hit the floor.

Stop me if I ever get that far.

The sun's a desperate star that burns like every single one before.

 

And I could find another dream,

one that keeps me warm and clean

but I ain't dreamin' anymore, I'm waking up.

So I'll take two of what you're having and I'll take everything you got

to kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love.

And all this crass communication that has left you in the cold

Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old

But if home is where the heart is

Then there's stories to be told

No, you don't need a doctor

No one else can heal your soul

 

Got your mind in submission

Got your life on the line

But nobody pulled the trigger

They just stepped aside

They'll be down by the water

While you watch 'em wavin' goodbye

 

They'll be callin' in the morning

They'll be hanging on the phone

They'll be waitin' for an answer

But you know nobody's home

And when the bells stop ringing

It was nobody's fault but your own

 

There were always ample warning

There were always subtle signs

And you would have seen them coming

But we gave you too much time

And when you said that no one's listening

Why'd your best friend drop a dime

Sometimes we get so tired of waiting for a

Way to spend our time

 

And it's so easy to be social

It's so easy to be cool

Yeah, its easy to get hungry

When you ain't got {censored} to lose

And I wish that I could help you

With what you hope to find

But I'm still out here waiting

Watching reruns of my life

When you reach the point of breaking

Know it's gonna take some time

To heal those broken memories

That another man would need

Just to survive
