Outshined
(track 02 from the Badmotorfinger LP by Soundgarden
)
I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I’ve kept the movie rolling, but the story’s getting old now
I just looked in the mirror and things aren’t looking so good
I’m looking California and feeling Minnesota
So now you know who gets mystified
Show me the power child
I’d like to say that I’m down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies, gives me away, till I’m up on my feet again
I’m feeling outshined
Someone let the dogs out, they’ll show where the truth is
The grass is always greener where the dogs are shitting
I’m feeling that I’m sober even though I’m drinking
I can’t get any lower, still I feel I’m sinking
So now you know who gets mystified
Show me the power child
I’d like to say that I’m down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies, gives me away, till I’m up on my feet again
I’m feeling outshined
Life is so much better with baseball-love in it, especially when it creates moments like these (my responses are on the right):
And as much as I lament admitting it, life is sometimes better with bitmojis
too.
Far Cry
(track 01 from the Snakes & Arrows LP by Rush
)
Pariah dogs and wandering madmen, barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune, electrical changes are charging up the young
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
It’s a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing
One day I feel I’m on top of the world and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on
Whirlwind-life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we woud inherit
It’s a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing
One day I feel I’m on top of the world and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on
You can almost feel the planet glowing
One day I feel I’m on top of the world and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I fly through a crack in the sky and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
