Mairi Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hey, here's another song from me. Comments please. Behind The Puppet Verse 1 I see with my smile The faded off-white chipped yellow Wooden planks. ambiguous Brings insane, eccentric high mellow Melancholy hearts Singing in the dark As i share centerstage with my weakened soul Chorus Well i just want you to adore me hear the rampant laughter Well i just want you to ignore me the hero they don't capture look for me, your eyes divert look at me, the senseless flirt Watch the schitzophrenic suffer Behind the puppet Verse 2 I breathe through my back the gaping void-like black hole entertaining emptiness, hollow Brings edginess: the forgotten goal Mellifluous grins Beckoning "begin" As i share centerstage with my weakened soul Chorus Well i just want you to adore me hear the rampant laughter Well i just want you to ignore me the hero they don't capture look for me, your eyes divert look at me, the senseless flirt Watch the schitzophrenic suffer Behind the puppet Verse 3 I see with my smile warmth doesnt reach my eyes i breathe through my back Via the person that i dispise Saying all the things i wish i could say behind the mask: my dignity fails Chorus Well i just want you to adore me hear the rampant laughter Well i just want you to ignore me the hero they don't capture look for me, your eyes divert look at me, the senseless flirt Watch the schitzophrenic suffer Behind the puppet behind the puppet lies my weakened soul Comments would be most appriciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Great way of describing how someone can feel controlled by another. I love the usage of the puppet to show this meaning. You paint a very clear picture of what you're trying to say, even though some of the wording can go unknown to those with smaller vocabularies. This is the only line I don't quite follow "The faded off-white chipped yellow" Is it off-white or is it yellow? Or is it both? To me it sounds like the smile is off-white while the chipped portions are yellow. Is that what it's saying? If so, then I did read it right.

Mairi Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Thanks Aaron, it's the chipped portions are so worn that they are yellow when the rest is off-white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Wow, that is really good Mairi. It's quite sad too. You feel the restrictions this person feels, and the imagary is very well expressed and captured within the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
