Sky is Over

This is an amusing one that I was just singing along to this morning. It's another one from Serj Tankian of System of a Down fame.

"Sky is Over" I'll guess is a poke at the whole global warming and the pending doom and ultimate end that we all face*. Ultimately I see it as the end of something, something that we see coming and the last moments to hang on.

I guess this is kind of a feel good song to me. Yeah, I know that I'm a little weird but somehow I think I find the "ultimate end" rather calming.

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,

Dont you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I dont want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,

Behind closes eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,

Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun,
Don't you want me to run,

Even though you cant afford
The sky is over,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I dont want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
The sky is over us.

If the sky was really over, what would you do? Where would you go? Guess it poses that old question, "What would you do if you had X days to live?"

* disclaimer: I'm still not buying into the global warming climate change theory.

Lie Lie Lie

Lies, damn lies and statistics. That's where we're going with today's tune.

Serj Tankian of System of a Down fame offers this track: "Lie Lie Lie". While written as a more humorous dramatic piece (yes you can combine the two).

I guess we all accept lies at times and are left to pay the price, one way or another.

My baby, my baby
let me know
because you love me, you love me
Let me go
and youre my lover, you pay me
Twice my size
And on your knees you lay
In my Thighs,

Take my hand and lets end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and lets end it all,

My baby, My baby
let me go
And if you love me, you love me
Let me go,
Cause Im your brother, your brother,
Have some pride,
And now you love me, you love me
Then die tonight

Take my hand and lets end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and lets end it all,
Broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
And while she fell I delightfully said,

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

She took my hand and I let her go
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Took my hand and she ended it all,
Broke her little bones on the boulders below,
And while she fell, I smiled.

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

Lies... sometimes it's better to end it all that to have to face up to them.
