Day 28: A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty
I don't recall a song that has actually made me feel guilty. I've cried to songs but not out of guilt. I suppose the only song I can think of in terms of guilt is this one. A bit of a creepy song, actually, meant to frighten the wits out of you! But the lyrics are aimed to make one feel guilty, to hurt and anger them even. I think one of the main reasons I thought of this song is because when I put myself in the shoes of a character that I wrote, I saw through her eyes and felt her guilt because of certain events. The blame placed at her door were along the lines of those described in this song - not literally but figuratively. So yes, I guess this song does make me feel guilty!

I am your poison candy gram, the love that's meant to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn, mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life, time to walk with me the last mile
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why?
Could I let you wait out the night?
Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing;
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now, sit, watch and learn;
It's not how long you live, but what your morals say;
Cannot keep your part of the deal, so don't say a word, don't say a word!"
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore!
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying.
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why?
Settling the score, we pass the twilight.
Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing;
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now, sit, watch and learn;
It's not how long you live, but what your morals say;
Cannot keep your part of the deal, so don't say a word, don't say a word!"
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer, I assure you, I won't die before you
You read the book now, the part "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
Short is the fight of this little starling
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
I will carpe the diem while it's still here,
And see how the fear of death becomes her
We had it all so sweet, made for me, you, indeed,
Big secret, small the lie, don't cry for me, oh, argentite
No word you say tonight, can make this be alright
I'll help you follow through, remember this, pacta sunt servanda?
The wounds are too deep, I need to keep the scars
To prove there was a time when I loved something more than life
Unlike the last time here, I now have the means and a will sincere
Your knight is nowhere near, unfortunate for you, this makes me your God
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore,
You never meant a word, I know you lied,
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now,
And stay alive this night, I promise you the end before the first light arrives!
Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing;
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now, sit, watch and learn;
It's not how long you live, but what your morals say;
Cannot keep your part of the deal, so don't say a word, don't say a word!"
