Seems like the world's gone underground
No gods or heroes dare to go down
As teardrops from a hole in heaven come
Overhead like ravens dropping down like bombs
Now through the mornings silver frosted glow
Well God says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so
Now God bless the void of my daydreams
Head back in the snow making angel wings
As slow motion dancing lights at dawn
Sail beneath a burning yellow sun
I'm calling out from the deep ends of my bones
Well time says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so
The still waters rising in my mind
Black and deep, smoke behind my eyes
Last night I could not sleep at all
I hallucinated that you were in my arms
To be in your heart I failed my own
Love says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so
I'm still here re-climbing every rung
An' someone saw something
Now Someone speak up
Back over the rotted bridge I cross
Open up these graves, let these bodies talk
Buried under leaves blood red and gold
Well Death says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so

Other way around. Some atheists are nihilists, some aren't. But all nihilists are atheists. |

Don't care one whit who his daddy is, except that he seems to have inherited his pop's lyrical genius, with an added bonus of actually being able to sing.  This is a really good song - worth cranking up, IMO.  *Bump* in tribute to Cynaera. I also happen to agree with her that this is a special, even great, song. |

| Rachoh (Boston) | Posted: Feb 05, 2012 - 13:59 I was surprised to learn this was the Wallflowers....all my former judgments are on hold for this ONE song  |

Let's ponder what "anything" could mean. Guitar? Babysitter? Whore? Dream? Nihilist? My god—no pun intended—the possibilities are endless. Genius, Poose, genius.  |

So, assuming that you actually read the links you posted, how could you miss this fact? I can think of two explanations. One is that your english and written comprehension skills are terrible. An alternate explanation is you don't know what "!=" means. != is shorthand for "does not equal". The earliest use I'm familiar with is from the computer language C, but it was probably used in an earlier language too (later languages like C++, Java and many others use the same convention). In programming, != is a strict Not equal operation. It only holds true if the left and right side are not equal. In common internet usage it gets abused a bit to mean "not necessarily equal to". Wow, the things I learn on RP !! Who'da thought? |
