Hey, y'all, I'm curious what everyone's got playing in there cd player or MP3. Right now I've got a cd called UNLEASHED by Warchild in the player in my car and the song I have on repeat is one called SPLENDID SUICIDE. No, I'm not morbid or thinking suicide but the song just grabs me. Here's the lyrics:
There you go, baby, tell me are ya proud
Of where you are and how you turned out?
Passed out on some G that didn't come cheap
God only knows what happened to you in your sleep.
Down in your hometown a million miles away
She's so fine, d*mn what a waste.
So you do your coke for free
But man the price you pay
It breaks my heart to see you this way.
You're killing me with all the things you do
If you didn't know better you'd think I'm in love with you.
Sometimes I wonder what I mean to you
You tell me you love me but could it be true
Telling on yourself but never confessing
I think it's a shame what we're missing.
What really gets to me is what you're doing to you
The sex and the parties and the drug abuse.
All I know is I need my friend
Burning bridges trying to catch the wind.
Sometimes I wanna tell you all of my dreams
Sometimes I wanna run
Sometimes I wanna scream
Just when I think I can handle the truth
There you go again doing something new
We're going down in flames but baby what a ride
I feel so helpless watching your "Splendid Suicide."
Tell me, baby, are those lights gonna
shine down on you tonight
And if they do wish you could see
just what you're doing to you and me
I guess I'm a fool to let myself care
Cos there's no way it's going anywhere
There's too much water underneath the bridge
For it to ever be just us and the kids.
Well I hope in the end it was worth the friend you lost
Cos you're never going to change or stop and count the cost.
How am I suposed to act like I never knew
All the things you've done and what you've been through.
We're going down in flames but baby what a ride
Feel so helpless watching your "Splendid Suicide"
Yeah, we're going down in flames but baby what a ride
Feel so helpless watching your "Splendid Suicide."
I don't know what it is about that song but it just sticks with me. It could be the combo of the single electric guitar and the acoustic playing off each other but it's more likely the line in the song about going down in flames but baby what a ride...
Anyway, as I said, I'd like to know what everyone else is listening to, even if it's an AI...
There you go, baby, tell me are ya proud
