“Follow the leader,
Stay in the lines.
What will people think of what you’ve done this time?
Go with the crowd,
Surely somebody knows.
Why we’re all wearing the Emperor’s Clothes?
Play it safe.
Play by the rules.
Or don’t play at all,
What if you lose?
That’s not the secret,
But I know what is –
Everybody dies but not everyone lives. Everybody dies but not everyone lives.
I’m gonna rock like I’ve got the cats on my tail!
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail!
I’m gonna be up front!
Gonna blaze a trail!
I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna cross that line!
Everybody freeze,
Don’t step over the line.
Don’t stand up they’ll shoot down the first one who tries.
Try to change the world,
They’ll think you’re out of your mind! (revolutions start when someone crosses the line).
They want us to lie down,
Give into the lies!
Nothing has to change and no one has to die.
That’s not the secret, But I know what is –
Everybody dies but not everyone lives. Everybody dies but not everyone lives.
I’m gonna rock like I’ve got the cats on my tail!
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail!
I’m Gonna be up front,
Gonna blaze the trail!
I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna cross that line!
I’m gonna cross that line!
I’m gonna rock like I’ve got the cats on my tail!
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail!
I’m Gonna be up front,
Gonna blaze the trail!
I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna cross that line!
Rock like I’ve got the cats on my tail!
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail!
I’m Gonna be up front,
Gonna blaze the trail!
I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna! I’m gonna cross that line!”

"For many days we traveled from a distant place and time To reach a place they call the planet Earth There was to be a celebration On the mission of the sacred heart. The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue And floating softly through a rainbow But when you touch down things look different here At the mission of the sacred heart Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I Hows life on earth Living on the earth When all the stars above lay icy fingers down on me Living on the earth On a dirty worn-out sidewalk sits a mother with a baby In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singing from a window In the mission of the sacred heart Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I Hows life on earth Living on the earth And when the stars above lay icy fingers down on me Living on the earth There's a building on a corner in a city in a land On a place they call the planet Earth My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by From the mission of the sacred heart Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I Hows life on earth What is it worth"

“I’ll save you
An echo from the hall
And I’ll paint you
A dreamscape on your bedroom wall
Pretend you’re not alone
Like you are centre stage on Broadway
Cause when you’re on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I’ll meet you
Where the page proclaims the end
And I’ll make do
With the fractions my reactions bend
Pretend you’re not alone
Like you are centre stage on Broadway
Cause when you’re on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I’ll capsize
This high rise
And weld a cable car
Then I’ll drive down
To some south-western town
And end up where you are
Pretend you’re not alone
Like you are centre stage on Broadway
Cause when you’re on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I’ll reset
Your silhouette
And be your parasol
So hold on to
Your florescent view
And if you slip and fall
I will catch you”
I really like this song for some reason… I guess the abstract lyrics that really make no sense at all really appeal to me… hmm…
This weeks song is “Blue and Red” by Sky Sailing, in their [his] one and only album (of current) “An Airplane Carried Me To Bed”.
For those of you who don’t know, Sky Sailing is the Owl City before the Owl City. Adam Young recorded all the songs on “AACMTB” in his basement (like all his other songs), on his own, before “Of June” (the hit that started Owl City). I believe, however, that he recorded Sky Sailing AFTER his other “other projects” (think Port Blue, Aquarium, Windsor Airlift, Novel, etc etc), as these were recorded whilst he was in high school, and Sky Sailing was recorded whilst he was in his late teens or 20’s. The vocals in Sky Sailing, however, are recent: he re-recorded the vocals just before releasing “AACMTB” in 2011 (or 2010… but I”m pretty sure it’s 2011, because he released Ocean Eyes in 2010… anywho).
So sound is really nice in this song… lots of piano and electronic stuff… Sky Sailing is actually notorious for its mainly guitar, but this song has a lot of piano (or keyboard, same sound). It’s also kinda slow… the lyrics are so short because they are said very slowly and clearly, and are broken up with lots of music. It’s just a really nice song (:

Oh satellite above
(Where are you)
So many things I have to tell you of
(Please come back soon)
You went through an open door
Or a hole in the floor
You vanished and I can’t see you anymore
Dreams never die
When we sleep
Beneath the open sky
In the deep
Shades overhead
Of blue and red
Is this the end
Will you come back again
I searched beyond the clouds
(Are you there)
And I walked sadly onward through the crowds
(Alone somewhere)
And I saw beyond the blur
To right where you were
And I beheld a sight so pure
Dreams never die
When we sleep
Beneath the open sky
In the deep
Shades over head
Of blue and red
Is this the end
Will you come back again

“Nero Space flyer on ice,
misplace your telescopes and these ropes suffice.
The city streets need painting fast and our old homes need fixed.
I finally see that this coast is bedding down in the sound that wakes up our Host.
Dance record the phones in those rooms,
be right there police don’t care.
Anyway they make it faster,
better late than never after.
Set on Sunday the earth is war,
and I don’t see why not.
You hop on high-ways they can’t recall,
the better perf(?) if they’re cars at all.
And when at most there’d release this place,
their branches shocked with disbelief.
*yelling* (something about people letting him down, his eyes seeing clear, this is what he wanted, being young? this part very hard to interpret).
Repeat”
