Confusion

    Every night, I pick up the phone,
    It’s always confusing, never bad,
    Sometimes you like me, sometimes not,
    Half the time, I hang up sad.

    I know that just one time,
    It’ll be the time when you can care,
    One time that’ll mean the world,
    That one time when we can share.


    But every single fscking time,
    I enjoy each second, I spend with you.
    Because regardless of anything, I enjoy
    Being the one you’re talking to.

    I know that just one time,
    It’ll be the time when you can care,
    One time that’ll mean the world,
    That one time when we can share.


    Reception fades and I can’t hear you,
    The world goes to hell, momentarily,
    I redial as fast I possibly can,
    Things seem better temporarily.

    I know that just one time,
    It’ll be the time when you can care,
    One time that’ll mean the world,
    That one time when we can share.


    I’ll never be able to explain,
    Not in all my life, or in heaven above.
    The impact you’ve had,
    How it’s felt almost like love.

    I know that just one time,
    It’ll be the time when you can care,
    One time that’ll mean the world,
    That one time when we can share.


    But now again, yet unlike every time,
    The reception fades.
    I don’t think I can handle them,
    These colourful shades.

    I can’t hear you.
    Do I want to?

    Yeah... I added the chorus 'cos Dermo decided it couldn't be a song unless there was chorus and poetry is far too not-me. Dermo also guessed exactly who the song was about, damn him. Um, yeah. So, I amn't sure why I posted it... I just felt like it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭littlehedgehog


    damm cool song o.r. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭oq4v3ht0u76kf2


    Thanks Jean... oh, it just dawned on me that the person this song is about will probably see it... so, I need to explain that it isn't a bad song. It's actually rather upbeat and stuff... I'm trying to find the perfect music to put it to but the following are the top contenders.

    Jimmy Eat World - Your House
    Jimmy Eat World - A Praise Chorus
    Bowling for Soup - Where to Begin

    Anyway, it's a good song and the answer to the question at the end is "Yes".

    yeah, it's pretty cool. it reminds me of depressing stuff that happened recently to do with me and a guy i know....oh f*ck....:( why am i confusing? k, now i have to start a thread....

    Confused,
    Tired,
    Don’t know
    What will
    Happen next,
    Don’t really
    Know why
    It happened.
    First time,
    So happy,
    So worried,
    It happened,
    I’m happy.


    i wrote this during the gradution thingy, to the vauge astonishment of jesse. i thought id stick it up. last line explains it all, sorta


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭oq4v3ht0u76kf2


    Yay, a cool "thing" from Joe... wheee... I dunno what the hell that actually was, but it's cool.

    Oh, and the song isn't meant to be depressing... Jesus... it's a happy ****in' song! Well, that's how I meant it anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭claire h


    I thought it was happy... well, sort of. I mean, anything about attraction has to have a flipside... you've got the ecstatic-infatuation-lightheaded part, then the darker-consuming-obsession part... ah, doncha love love?

    Ooh, I like Joe's thing too. Are we allowed label it as a poem? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭oq4v3ht0u76kf2


    It's meant as a happy song... because, I dunno, it happens a lot that I **** up or whatever in a relationship (or before the relationship even starts) and the world seems like crap at the time but I'm able to look back and laugh at every **** up I've ever made. I dunno, it's a happy song because the person it's about makes me happy and suchness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 98 ✭✭joe the coat


    yes you can cause thats what it is.

    Its weird, am i the only person who finds that when they write really good lyrics they can never write chords or tabs to go with them, and when you've built up a brilliant guitar piece you never have fitting lyrics for it?

    Re: poetry; yeah, no ones gonna see any of mine for a long long time....its all slightly too personal atm :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 406 ✭✭shep the malevolent pixie


    my poetry....nope, not right now. i'm going through a phase where i think it's all terrible right now anyway so obviously you don't get to see it. sucks to be you and junk.:p
    sHep :cool:

    oh and neil, i get that all the time. it's immensely annoying. grr.

    Ditto.

    my Memories, like wounds,
    don't just go away
    though they lie almost dormant
    when the sun rules the day
    By night the past awakens
    relive twists and turns
    Rip off the scab
    My fever still burns

    my Memories, like prophecies,
    are based in less than truth
    twisted and tainted
    by what 's happened since
    selectively neutered
    or reset anew
    delving for truths
    You'll find but a few

    Attention Control Tower
    I think I just took flight
    'Cause I'm walking on air
    and coming down would destroy me
    But right now don't expect me to care


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 98 ✭✭joe the coat


    f***in 'ell again... i'm going to get all depressed at this rate... maybe ill stick up another one... yeah actually here it is


    Screwed
    *******
    Easy now,
    Calm, it’s ok
    You just lost
    Control for
    A while
    No,
    Its not
    I screwed up
    Screwed my life
    Again, yet again.


    a wee bit of bitterness...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭Mystic Fibrosis

    that was really cool and impressive bob. i thought it was really neat. i would really like to hear music for it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭oq4v3ht0u76kf2


    Thanks a lot honey! I miss you loads, I'll ring you soon as long as ye olde phone bill isn't too big. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭littlehedgehog


    God everyone is a poet!! I think all the poems are great - I definately could never write them :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 98 ✭✭joe the coat


    try writing some anyway. i always thought i could write for sh*t then... i wrote some. uhmm... not very helpful i know but just try.:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 406 ✭✭shep the malevolent pixie


    i like my titles for my poems/songs/whatevers more than the actual things themselves at the moment. "are children incredibly dead?", "nothing says true love like the magic roundabout" and "subtlety tortoise" are a few of my favourites. i wish i could remember some of the content and i'd post it....

    Different faces attatch themselves to mine;
    i make a note of which
    Stop
    i start again.
    they all lose meaning

    as do the words.

    that's called Quicksilver. i kinda like that one. maybe more later, i don't know if that's as good as i think it is and that's one of the ones i like. the others will stay hidden for a little while 'til i can talk about the people they involve....it's too early yet.
