Hidden Meanings Fairy Tale

Tell me the story of forgotten kings,

Who broke their legs so they could grow wings.

The maidens fair looked to their arms,

While promising they'd do no harm.

A monster creeped into the light,

Created by the Star, the Knight.

The cow jumped into the sky, it's true,

But never reached the bobbing moon.

The one who had such baffling luck,

Was Guinevere's friend, the Laughing Duck,

But Merlin saw what was to be,

And he told Arthur, who then told me.

 The problem was, I had no way,

To change the facts, so I had to stay.

The kings flew past my window tonight,

And gave the suckling pig a fright;

But I knew that it was but a dream,

Or said I did, for so it would seem.

But my friends who don't live far away,

Said it occurred during the dark of day.

I thought that this seemed rather strange,

If it was not all prearranged,

But I chose to believe my friends,

And so the fairy tale ends.

White (Kind of Like I Do)

We have white tiles,

On our bathroom walls.

They show the wear and tear,

More than they should,

Kind of like I do,

Kind of like I do.

We have a white rug,

On our floor,

It's got stains,

That are hard to ignore,

Kind of like I do,

Kind of like I do.

It doesn't mean anything,

It doesn't change anything,

Except the way I see myself,

And it's not supposed to do that.

I shouldn't feel this way,

I shouldn't cry this way,

But I kind of do,

Yeah, I kind of do.

 I shouldn't be,

Staring at myself,

Wondering who that,

Person's s'posed to be,

Kind of like I do,

Kind of like I do.

I should try to say,

More than "Nothing's changed,"

Try not to snub you,

When you ask if I'm okay,

Kind of like I do,

Kind of like I do.

It doesn't mean anything,

It doesn't change anything,

Except the way I see myself,

And it's not supposed to do that.

I shouldn't feel this way,

I shouldn't cry this way,

But I kind of do,

Yeah, I kind of do.

There's a white blanket,

Thrown across my bed.

I should've made it;

Shouldn't feel dead,

Kind of like I do,

Kind of like I do.

There's a closet full,

Of things I loved,

I should pull them out,

Not let them collect dust,

Kind of like I do,

Kind of like I do.

 It doesn't mean anything,

It doesn't change anything,

Except the way I see myself,

And it's not supposed to do that.

I shouldn't feel this way,

I shouldn't cry this way,

But I kind of do,

Yeah, I kind of do.

Drown Me

Drown me,

In the deepest ocean,

Wash the,

Pain away.

Drop me,

Like the heaviest stone,

While the sun still burns;

I still need to learn,

Not to regret.

I can't forget,

I can't forget,

I can't forget!

Drown me,

I don't want to stay;

I can't,

Chase the memories away;

This has happened before,

I don't need these mem'ries anymore.

It was just another day;

Does it matter anyway?

 Does it matter anyway?

 Does it matter anyway?

 Does it matter anyway?

 Does it matter anyway?

Drown me,

In the deepest ocean,

Wash my,

Sins away.

Drop me,

Like the heaviest stone,

Where I cannot return;

I will never learn,

Not to regret,

Not to regret;

I can't forget,

I can't forget!

Drown me,

I don't want to stay;

I can't,

Chase the memories away.

This has happened before;

I can't take it anymore.
It was just another day;
Does it matter anyway?
Does it matter anyway?
It doesn't matter anyway;
It doesn't matter anyway.
I don't matter anyway...

< YOU DO TO MATTER! Don't let my craziness go to your head! This song is purely for fun; the Love of God remaineth. >

Mental Function

I blame you,

Yes I do,

Just another Mental Function.

Disrepair?

I don't care;

Just another  Mental Function.

Represent,

My intent-

Just another Mental Function. 

I'm a fool,

Ain't that true?

Just another Mental Function.

You hate me;

Could that be,

Just another Mental Function.
 Fooled me twice;

That ain't nice,

Just another Mental Function.

Gone Crazy;

Yeah, that's me,

Just another Mental Function.

Writer of the Songs

The crowd scream,

When the lights dim,

And they see him:

The singer on the stage.

The girls faint,

When the drums play,

And the guitarist leads the way.

Ooh, and it's so exciting,

It's so exciting,

They say to bring a friends along.

But don't mind me;

I'm just the writer of the songs.

They Never Change

All the rain falls and I disappear;

Looks like the beginning of another year.

I'm riding on a speeding merry-go-round,

Dealing with life's ups and mostly its downs.

I tell myself someday thing are gonna change,

But they never change; They never change.

All of the trees are truly lonely,

Though you couldn't tell by looking at them now.

All the leaves have dropped and left them boasting,

Their strong but empty, dark brown boughs.

I tell myself someday things are gonna change,

But they never change; They never change.

I walk around the circus like a bright eyed child,

Knowing that my life is just a tad more wild.

I'm looking for the sun where there are only clouds,

Knowing I will never feel truly proud.

I tell myself someday things are gonna change,

But they never change; They never change.

My Own Train

< Based on the figure of speech "train of thought." Yeah, I get some of my ideas from really crazy places. :) >

HEY HEY HEY HEY!

You haven't convinced me yet,

You haven't convinced me yet.

I'm still on my own train,

My own train.

It's goin' faster than your train of thought,

On steroids,

And it doesn't have any brakes.

It's stronger than the strong man,

From the circus,

And it's gonna do whatever it takes....

HEY!

You haven't convinced me yet,

You haven't convinced me yet,

I'm still on my own train,

My own train.

It's a shame that we just couldn't,

Get along.

It's a feeling that I just can't shake.

By the time you feel sorry I'll be,

Gone;

You know that every man has got his place.

HEY!

You haven't convinced me yet,

You haven't convinced me yet.

I'm still on my own train,

My own train.

Sandy

< In memory of Hurricane Sandy.>

I really don't love you, Sandy,

You just blow me away;

You hurt everyone that you see,

And then you move away.

You're storming through towns,

Of people dear to me;

Oh, oh, I don't love you, Sandy.

Hero

There's a bomb on your back,
And you're trying to save the world.
Everyone runs away from you,
And you still Don't Get the Girl.
The Hero still doesn't get a kiss,
And why?
Still No One has the time to say,
Goodbye,
Hero.

There's a bomb on your back,
And still you're all alone.
You put on a brave face,
And try to not to think of home.
The Hero still doesn't get a kiss,
And why?
Still No On has the time to say,
Goodbye,
Hero.

There's a bomb on your back,
'Cause you're ready to sacrifice--
To save what is important,
You will even give your life.
The Hero still doesn't get a kiss,
And why?
Still No One has the time to say,
Goodbye,
Hero.


There's a bomb on your back,
And you don't realize,
After you fight our enemies               
Your leader will just apologize.
The Hero still doesn't get a kiss,
And why?
Still No One has the time to say,
Goodbye,
Hero

Now

< This one is hard to type out, because you're supposed to have two or more singers going back and forth, and when one singer ends a phrase with "Now", the next one begins a phrase with "Now." Although I suppose you could just have one singer, but that wouldn't be as awesome... :/ >

We've been through Hell together,

But we said forever,

And right now Forever's all I need.

So don't stop loving me

NOW

we're having some tough weather,

But it can only get better,

If you will stay with me,

So don't stop loving me

NOW

is not the daydream,

We thought love was gonna be,

But that's not gonna stop me,

So don't stop loving me

NOW

here you are with me,

You're the only one who gets me,

You're the only one who thinks I'm pretty,

So don't stop loving me

NOW

I guess that you could move on after I die-

God knows that all His angels hate to see you cry-

So long as she/he understands the way we were,

So don't stop loving me

NOW

love is a mystery I couldn't unravel;

A few men/girls have tried it on,

But it didn't fit until you came along,

So don't stop loving me now.

The Willow Tree

The willow tree, the willow tree, 

Let us cry with the willow tree. 

I am not sad, 

I am not angry; 

I no longer feel.

 But the willow tree, 

The willow tree,

 The willow tree is weeping,

 And the weeping is its beauty, 

So let us cry with the willow tree.

The willow tree, the willow tree,

Let us dance under the willow tree.

I am not sad,

I am not angry,

I no longer feel.

But the willow tree,

The willow tree,

The willow tree is weeping,

And the weeping is its beauty,

So let us cry with the willow tree.

The willow tree, the willow tree,

Let us sit under the willow tree.

I am not sad,

I am not angry,

I no longer feel.

But the willow tree,

The willow tree,

The willow tree is weeping,

And the weeping is its beauty,

So let us cry with the willow tree.

The willow tree, the willow tree,

Bury me under the willow tree.

 I am not sad,

I am not angry,

I no longer feel.

But the willow tree,

The willow tree,

The willow tree is weeping,

And the weeping is its beauty,

So let us cry with the willow tree.

My Friend

<I LOVE this one! I can't believe I haven't posted it before this!>

It's not so difficult to understand,

The reasons why we turn to our friends.

We hardly ever accept a held out hand,

But everyone needs consolation now and then.

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend you are.

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend  you are.

I used to wish they couldn't see me cry,

But when everyone leaves you start to change your mind;

I'd like them to see the tears once before I die,

Even if it means leaving my old self far behind.

  My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend you are.

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend  you are.

It's wrong to smile when smiling is lie,

But it's no better to cry when you don't need to cry.

These are two  rare occasions when the easy thing to do,

Turns out to be the right thing too.

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend you are.

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend  you are.

Some people think they should keep it bottled up inside,

But then you might explode when there's no place to hide.

A hand on your shoulder is a comforting thing,

And once you let it happen maybe you will sing:

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend you are.

My friend,

You are my friend,

My friend  you are.

 

 

Better Off On Your Own

REFRAIN:

So is this what they call love?

Giving everything, but never enough;

Letting him knock you down,

So that he can feel strong?

Getting yelled at all the time,

Wearing bruises from the fight;

Darling, maybe you were wrong.

If he's the only one who's ever happy-

No, you don't look happy-

If he's the only one who's ever happy,

Then maybe you're better off on your own.

I know you like tell me that you love him,

But honey, does he ever say that he loves you?

Maybe you tell yourself that you can change him,

But baby, there are some things you just can't do,

And if your mama's old worn eyes don't deceive her,

Seems like he's making too many changes to you.

REFRAIN

Dreams

< I think I must have been crazy when I wrote this... oh well! Nothing new there, right? :P :) HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!>

Burning walls and drowning people,

Demons crawling up the steeple;

I must dream the most disturbing things.

Once I dreamed that you grew wings,

And flew away from me.

Ticking clocks and clackiong type,

Help me pass a restless night,

But I think that it would help,

Even more if you were here.

REFRAIN:

Why'd you have to go and steal my dreams?

You've made me have nightmares about beautiful things;

Don't tell me that you're sorry, I don't care,

Just promise me that someday,

You're coming back here.

People walking past my window;

They have no clue what they don't know.

All of my dreams are becoming real;

Now I can't tell how I feel.

You once wanted my heart,

And I shared it willingly,

But you tore the thing apart,

Leaving none of it for me.

REFRAIN

Clouds are gathering in my eyes,

Trying to wash away your lies,

But the tears that fall aren't good enough;

Where's my diamond in the rough?

I'd trade my life for you,

But my life's already throug;

Though I still sit here breathing,

I am dead since you're leaving.

I still think of you as friend.

REFRAIN

<SPOKEN: Come back... Come back.... You promise... Hurry... Something's breaking down here...>

Humpty Dumpty

<Pure Silliness. Enjoy.>

Miss Muffett and I sat in a tree,

K-I-S-S-I-N-G,

When (surprise!) I didn't fall,

She pushed me out, and that's not all;

Now my heart's shattered into a million bits,

That not even the king's pretty daughter can fix.

REFRAIN:

So goes the story of Humpty Dumpty,

That's been mistold for hundreds of years;

It's full of more kisses and broken hearts,

Then pieces of eggshell and crocodile tears.

Happily Ever After

< Based on my childhood- around the ages of six and ten- fancies that only girls with blonde hair and blue eyes could be pretty. I also got the idea that short people were always fat. As a result, I have no great love for secular views of beauty, or the affect they can have on the minds of even small children. Other than that, this song is totally fictional.>

It would seem,

That You And Me,

Was just a dream. 

We used to fly,

But now we fall,

On broken wings.

You used to say,

To hold my hand,

Was all you'd need.

REFRAIN:

But then why, baby, why,

The big fight?

I never said,

I didn't think,

That you were right.

But now you're staring at,

Another girl;

She has eyes of blue,

And hair that curls.

Am I in,

The wrong Fairy Tale?

When I was young,

I didn't think,

Happily Ever After ever failed.

It would seem,

That I was wrong,

To ever think,

That You And I,

Could ever love,

Quite equally.

I'm not as nice,

As pretty eyes,

In your esteem.

REFRAIN

But now you're staring at,

Another girl;

She has eyes of blue,

And hair that curls.

Am I in,

The wrong Fairy Tale?

When I was young,

I didn't think,

Happily Ever After ever failed.

Am I in,

The wrong Fairy Tale?

When I was young,

I didn't think,

Happily Ever After ever failed.

When I was young,

I didn't think,

Happily Ever After ever failed.

I used to think,

Happily Ever After never failed.

Happily Ever After never failed.

It never failed.

Never failed.

Failed.

Failed.

Failed.

Best Boy In The World

< Part of the reason I like this song, and maybe I'm just a weirdo, but, part of the reason I like this song is that it doesn't HAVE to be a love  song- it can be a 'close, compassionate friends' song, which is NOT the same thing- but it's POSSIBLE for it to be a love song. Isn't that neat? A little something for everyone! :) And, actually, believe it or not, I do sort of have a tune for at least the first and last verses.>

You should've been happy,

Should've been smiling,

Your whole life.

You should've had it all,

Should've settled down,

With babies and a wife.

It isn't fair, It isn't fair,

That the best boy in the world,

Should have his heart broken,

By some good for nothing girl.

We don't have to be,

More than just friends,

But I hope that you can understand,

My understanding.

She didn't deserve you,

And you didn't deserve that;

It's cowardly and wrong,

To make someone hurt that bad.

But if you could,

You would go back.

I bet that you would go back,

I know that you would go back,

I'm sure that you would go back.

'Cause you're the best boy in the world,

And you'll never ever give up,

On that girl.*

You're not the kinda person,

That just  let's people go like that.

You should've been happy,

Should've been smiling,

Your whole life.

You should've had it all,

Should've settled down,

With babies and a wife.

It isn't fair, It isn't fair,

That the best boy in the world,

Should have his heart broken,

By some good for nothing girl.

It isn't fair, It isn't fair!

You're the best boy in the world.

You shouldn't be crying,

For some good for nothing girl.

     * Um, yeah, hi! Noticed the asterisk? Well, I don't normally put my editing notes in my blog posts- it looks sloppy, and people all end up singing different versions of the song, etc.- but on this one, I'm just going to. Yup- I couldn't make up my mind. SO, what do you think? Do you like the words in the song, or do you think I should change that line to "And you'll never ever ever stop loving that girl"? The reason I put the OTHER version in is because I thought that "Never ever ever" was just too many evers, but this IS a song, so that would be alright. I also thought that "never give up on" and "never stop loving" portrayed different feelings, which could differ from person to person. SO, if you have a preference or opinion on something else, feel free to shoot me a comment! :)

Looking

< I know, the end of this song doesn't sound like the end. It's a problem. But I'm stuck. Feel free to send me what you think should come next; I'm not the only one who can write!>

I'm looking,

For something-

It may mean,

I'm crazy,

But at least then I'd know.

I'm looking,

For someone,

Who tells me,

I'm the one-

Though I may let them go.

'Cause right now I'm hurting,

And my heart isn't feeling,

It's strongest.

'Cause just about now,

This day starts feeling,

The longest.

My Shooting Star

That castle in the garden that you planted,

Is something that we only imagines.

I never thought that we'd grow up the way we did,

After so much time of simply being kids.

REFRAIN:

'Cause you are my shooting star,

Flying away from a wish never granted,

And I look up to you,

More than I ever did.

And I always think of you,

When I think of happiness,

'Cause you're not just a game I played,

To pass the day,

No, I know who you are;

You're my shooting star.

We grew up, we had a fight and parted ways;
I fell asleep crying most of those days.
I told myself that things were gonna change someday;
They finally did when I saw you pass my way.
RERAIN

I couldn't let you just keep walking by me,
I hoped and hoped that you would recognize me;
And so our friendship began all over again,
But I hoped that we could be more than just friends.
REFRAIN

But one day you just suddenly disappeared;
I called your number, feeling kinda weird.
Someone picked up, and I heard you answer hello.
I begged, "Please tell me, where'd my shooting star go?"
REFRAIN

You said that you didn't think that I loved you,
And it hurt too much, so you had to move.
I was just relieved to hear your laugh again;
You said taht you'd come back and I asked you when.
REFRAIN

When you got back we returned to your garden,
Next thing I knew, you were down and kneeling,
You said, " Little Star, you know I've always loved you;
Please tell me that you'll be my Shooting Star too."
REFRAIN

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

(SPOKEN: I love happy endings.)

Kimmy

< For Kimmy. Duh. :) >

You're the middle one,

Not the little one;

You're a sister of sisters,

Big and small.

They love you, they need you,

They can't do without you,

And who would you be,

Without them all?

Kimmy, Kimmy,

Bright and pretty,

Living so far away!

You're more than you think,

Whatever you think,

You more than brighten my day.

We know you like soccer,

We know you like roses,

And I'm sure you like noses-

Well, don't you?

You like to play shy,

But between you and I,

Just by using your eyes,

There's so much that you say!

Kimmy, Kimmy,

Bright and pretty,

Living so far away!

You're more than you think,

Whatever you think,

You more than brighten my day.

So sit yourself down,

With a nice cup of tea,

And have a "far-distant,"

Small talk with me.

How is your life?

And who are your friends?

You have more than you think-

Better count them again!

 

Kimmy, Kimmy,

Bright and pretty,

Living so far away!

You're more than you think,

Whatever you think,

You more than brighten my day.

Kimmy, Kimmy,

Bright and pretty,

Living so far away!

You're more than you think,

Whatever you think,

You more than brighten my day.

Kimmy, Kimmy,

Kimmy, Kimmy,

You more than brighten my day!

I Don't Know

< A song for after fighting. I probably wouldn't post it, but I vowed to hold nothing back...>

I want to tell you all these things,

That I don't know;

About all this pain and hurt,

About all this sorrow.

I send you words as black as night,

And small white lies,

And wipe away the gathering tears,

You can't see in my eyes.

I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know.

A promise that was  made and broken,

Once upon a time,

Slips you back a wrung on the ladder,

That all of us climb.

I reach out a hand to help you,

But only leave you hurt.

I feel like the lowest worm,

Crawling in the dirt.

I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know.

I know too many girls and boys,

Both good and bad,

But the only fact I seem to know,

Is we're too often sad.

I can't seem to comprehend,

The reasons here;

Why do I sit, sore afraid,

If there's not to fear?

I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know.

We were friends e'er yesterday,

But yesterday I hurt you.

It's by no means a pleasant feeling;

Not something I try to do.

I swear that I would fix it,

If fix it I could.

But it seems when I put my mind to things,

 I do more harm than good.

I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know.

You don't deserve the memories,

I've given you of late;

I would go back and change these things,

Were it not too late.

I should fall in a lake of blue fire,

Letting my soul burn,

Maybe then I'd start to learn,

If I can still learn.

I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know.

I want to tell you all these things,
That I don't know;
About all this pain and hurt,
About this sorrow.
I send you words as black as night,
And small white lies,
And wipe away the gathering tears,
You can't see in my eyes.
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know.

Love's Killing Me

< This is ironic, because I'm posting it in the 'Valentine Month', and it's completely unrealistic. But a friend- Naina, please correct me if this doesn't match the copy I sent you-  read it and liked it, so I'm posting it anyway. Go figure. >

My heart's spinning,

With love that you don't return.

I keep telling,

Myself that someday I'll learn,

But you keep taking,

Me back to square one,

And I can't undo,

What I've begun.

Love's killing me;

It's killing me.

My heart's spinning,

With love that you don't return.

I keep thinking,

Love's something that I can earn,

But you keep taking me back to square one;

Someone once told me,

That I was too young to love.

Now I believe them,

'Cause love's killing me,

It's killing me,

And I'm too young to die.

My heart's spinning,

With love that you don't return.

I keep wishing,

That I was the one you yearned,

But you keep taking,

Me back to square one,

And I keep asking,

Myself what I've done.

Love's killing me;

It's killing me.

Out of The Storm

I don't know, I don't know,

Somebody tell me;

I don't know, I don't know,

I don't know anymore.

I don't know, I don't know,

Somebody tell me;

I don't know, I don't know,

I don't know anymore.

You keep changing your mind,

About what I want;

You keep telling me,

This is how it's going to go.

I've hidden all my dreams,

In the back of my closet.

I guess that I don't need them,

Anymore.

Wake me up when we're out of the storm.

Wake me up when we're out of the storm,

Out of the storm.

Life Goes On

< I hope you love this one as much as I do! I sang it about twenty times the other day, just so I wouldn't forget it before I was done with dishes and could write it down. To be honest, I still can't say for certain that I remember the tune I had at the time... :P :) >

We met at a cross-roads in life,

But we were going different directions.

We were part of each others lives,

But only for a moment.

The first person that you meet in life,

Won't necessarily be the one who's forever.

 Just look at you and me,

And it's not hard to see that,

This is the moment before life goes on.

We are still friends; We are still really good friends.

Please tell me that you agree.

But I'm not the one for you,

And you just can't see yourself with me.

The first person that you meet in life,

Won't necessarily be the one who's forever.

Just look at you and me,

And tell me can't you see that,

This is the moment before life goes on.

(SPOKEN <or left out; either way. I didn't do the spoken parts every time.> "*sighing* That's right... I'm okay... so... *sighing* )

A little pain now and then is normal;
The wounds will heal and then we'll be okay.
Life goes on, but not forever,
So why should we?
At least I'm better for knowing you,
Than I used to be.

(SPOKEN: *sighing*  yeah... I'll keep singing... Just give me a moment to recompose myself... *sighing*)

The first person that you meet in life,
Won't necessarily be the one who's forever.
Just look at you and me,
And tell me, can't you see that,
This is the moment before life goes on.
This is the moment before-
Life does go on.
My life will go on...
We met at a crossroads in life,
But we were going different directions.
We were part of each others lives,
But only for a moment...
