Getting Through : Music and Songs

Your possible pasts

from dupletereo - Tuesday, April 08, 2008
accessed 586 times

I was listening to a song and thought about you, the music is really nice, not hard to find, from "The Final Cut" by Pink Floyd. I just wanted to share it with you.

"Your Possible Pasts"

they flutter behind you your possible pasts
some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost
a warning to anyone still in command
of their possible future to take care
in derilict sidings the poppies entwine
with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
she stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
for the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
stepping up boldly one put out his hand
he said, "i was just a child then now i'm only a man"
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
by the cold and religious we were taken in hand
shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
and strung out behind us the banners and flags
of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?

If we are really cut and pasting songs, this is my anthem for the time spent in the cult.
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
Chorus:

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please then all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
Chorus:


You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN

Never from this day
His will they'll take away

Don't let them, If they labelled you it's their problem, any battle of labels is a waste of time (particularly for those that never began it)

Since we are quoting songs,
This is how I feel about my experience in the cult
From neo-post punk band, THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you’ve thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you`ll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know

When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
find out games you don't wanna play
you are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And now I try to lie
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret


Who has to know?

Phoenixkidd, your introduction holds great elegance and brought friends together. Made me feel like sharing a song of mine (one of the few I wrote in English, not long after leaving the "family"). Geo is right to say that anyone who joins a cult on his or her free will "must have a screw missing up there" (this is a Brazilian saying) and that being born into it is a completely different (and I'm sure much harder) situation. I just want to congratulate you once again for leaving and moving on and wish you a pleasant journey.


OCEAN CLEAN

Well I was down
and I was there only waiting for someone
to give me a hand
to show me the way
to lead me out of my confusion
How could I know
I had everything inside of me
it was so dark it was hard to see
and to understand the voice I heard within

Come to where the sea is ocean clean
and leave away the places that are mean
reach out for air
spread the wings of your dream
and behold
the wonderful scene

There was only smoke
and the gasoline was in my veins
didn’t even hear the call of my friends
I was so blind and deaf
though near

Floating everywhere
were particles of light blown by the wind
and masses of people where churches had been
distracting the sight
with those religious things

I've been wanting to ask, Rainy. Have we met? We seem to know a lot of the same people/things. And yeah, Placebo is Gina's brother. There was only one Gina around that area, so I'm fairly sure it's the same one.(reply to this comment

I prefer these lyrics from The Killers for us...

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go...
(bling)

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
Stand up!
Poor and tired but
More than this.

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon,
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got that blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go...
(I offer you survival!)

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Shut up!
Poor and tired but
More than this.

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...

It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

Can I send you a song in Portuguese? Will geo let an elderly man break his promse?

É linda a vida que virá
E pousará suave e leve
De um canto a outro,
De uma América futura, calma e livre.

E os dias se renovarão
Numa segura trajetória.
E pouco a pouco contarão
Uma nova e linda história.

É linda a vida que voa altíssima
Sobre esse tempo escuro.
Clara mas incompreensível,
Vai desenhando o futuro.

É linda a vida que voa livre
E sempre sem ter fim.
Descortinando caminhos
Que em meio à poesia
Um dia trouxeram você pra mim.

É lindo o sonho que eu vivi
Junto a você que dorme agora
Enquanto eu, olhando a aurora,
Estou pensando em ti.

É linda a vida, é linda sim,
Depois do amor e seus desvelos.
Quando se abraçam nossos pêlos
Numa calma de jardim. (reply to this comment

Gotta love the Floyd....

You ever need a song to blow your speakers with not even my style but it fucking works. Download it:

Apocalyptica "Not Jesus"

Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers
And comb your hair
Save your soul tonight...

Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aborations fill your head
You need a place to hide
and I am-

Do you remember me?
The kid i used to be
Do you remember me?

When your world comes crashing down - I want to relive
(Good God hes looking down on me)
I'm not jesus - jesus wasn't there
You confess it all away but its only shit to me
(Good God hes looking down on me)
I'm not jesus i will not forgive

No i WON'T
No i won't

I thought you were a good man
I thought you talked to god
You hippocratic, messianic, child abusing, turn satanic

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
The kid i used to be
Do you remember?

DO YOU REMEMBER?

When your whole world comes undone
Let me be the one to say
I'm not jesus you can't run away
And the innocence you spoiled
Found a way to live
(Good God hes looking down on me)
I'm not jesus i will not forgive

(I will not forgive
I want whatever you wanted
I will not forgive
I won't be whatever you wanted)

Do you remember me
The kid i used to be
Not the same as i used to be
OH DO YOU REMEMBER ME?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

When your world comes crashing down I want to be there
(Good God hes looking down on me)
I'm not jesus - jesus wasn't there
You confess it all away but its only shit to me
(Good God hes looking down on me)

I'm not jesus i will not..
I'm not jesus i will not forgive
Ohh i will not forgive -yeah yeah
No i will not forgive...

Great lyrics! Got to listen to it. I read some of the articles you posted and enjoyed it a lot, like "ban hetero complacency" and the "cold turkey" one. Tried to open your link but it wouldn't open. I'll try again sometime. (reply to this comment

Just to be clear...I copied and pasted the lyrics from another site. Don't bitch about all the misspellings. I'm aware. (reply to this comment
