![]() Separation Road (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
I know a girl laying down
She's sleeping
Weeks at a time
And when she wakes up
She watches TV
Counting cracks in the ceiling
No, I don't know what she's thinking
So I give up, waiting for someone waiting
Talking to someone, staring
I never come around
I never come around
I left her fifteen years behind
Girl's laying down
Never come around
So much for girl staying
In afraid of
Beeing needed
And seen she watches
The world on a screen
She's distant
And God knows I tried to leave her
But she's got a constant fever
I let it slip my mind
I never come around
I never come around
I left her fifteen years behind
I know a girl laying down
No, I never wasted my time
We have something in common
She's as different as I am

Of course, that's only if I assume that your assertion is correct. I don't. These forums serve many purposes; comments about the music, random memories evoked by the song, political diatribes and geometric arrangements of dancing bananas, just to name a few. It seems as if the most of the music here causes you "frustration", since the substantial majority of your ratings are "3" or below - but I agree, the commentary here need not be limited to just the song itself. Discussion of geometric arrangements is always a good thing. |

I feel that if she weren't being so precious and arty with the verses I'd be rating this an 8 or 9. YMMV. Totally agree. My head jerked when she painfully rhymed leave her with her having a fever. Did she really do that? This rates as "acceptable" to me. |

| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Dec 15, 2010 - 10:59 Some days I think I'm just getting too old for this station when they play too much weird stuff that might be poetic but has no musical quality. Ok, maybe I need a Christmas carol or something, not the depressing music I'm hearing right now. |

There's only a teeny passing resemblance to White Rabbit - the chords during the verse, alternating up and down a half-step. Interesting parallel. Good song. |
