Cellar Door

[xxMichaelxx]

this is a song about my x-girlfriend, so eat this up Sam

Cellar Door

The message flies through the phonelines
strewn randomly across the autumn sky
Sometime around 9:30 last night
I solved my problems once and for all
The next day at school, try to act suprised
try to realize that i was just another casualty
in this perpetual war of love
gaze as rumors instantly spread like a disease
infecting/affecting the souls of the ones i never knew
try to push it out of your mind that
you had the power to stop all of this
in the week that follows, with each smile hollowed
remember me for all of my valor no one ever saw
reclude in remorse as you resume your return to
the often traveled path of apathy
if you choose to cleanse your soul you will already know
that the magic has already died long before me
but listen to your dreams, they could mean something
This mouring brought the tomb of light to life
wrap yourself in these comforting metaphors
and just push this question to the back of your mind
each insicion in my arm is a muffled screaming mouth
sympathetic to the cause of my perpetual war of love
if you want to talk about it, im here for you
unless of course it involves more casualties
We all stand in the shadow of a Communist theory
one death is a tragedy
but a million is a statistic

I actually liked this one a lot more than the other one I commented on. This one seems a lot more honest; like it just came right from your mind and flowed onto paper--a lot less forced. No rhyming here; nothing of that sort; it just seems more true, if that makes sense, and I like it for that. Good songs flow from the heart; they aren't built in structure. The only thing that threw me off was the line "We all stand in the shadow of a Communist theory," which struck me as being an odd line. However, I did love the last two lines and think it's an excellent way to end the song. I'd be interested in seeing what you had in mind for the Communism line though. And what kind of music you'd put all these songs too (more out of curiousity as an aspiring musician/writer as well since I know that can make a whole lot of difference). Nicely done.

the hidden paradox in this song is that to truely be alive, you must die. i use suicide as a sort of metaphor for my girlfriend leaving me. the line about communism expresses that everyone has been in a relationship where the other person was overbearing, and used you for their own twisted reasons, and how she made me feel really down and unimportant when she dumped me, almost like i was just another face in the croud again, much like with communism where everyone is on the same level, usually at the rock bottom. hope this clears it up a bit

to truely be alive, you must be dead...

Once your alive you can't ever be dead...

when combined the 2, you realize life is found in death, only after you find life in life itself and to truely be dead you must be alive...

It is confusing, but it makes sense to me.

im proud you guys like it, this one was difficult for me to write, because i usually don't try to incorperate running metaphors, but it worked out, and all the better if you understand it.
