Spiders or Angels

Lyrics - I don't know, I guess this is about getting frustrated/paranoid/passionate/afraid in every way you could possibly apply them. Oh, 'The Smashing Pumpkins' probably were an influence for these.

What really happens when words can’t tell

What thoughts keep carving inside your mind?

It’s so confusing when I finally see

Unknown pleasures adrift in tears

The twenties came and it’s a one way wild road

Walking slowly and time goes like a clockwork bomb

I’ve been condemned to be, I’ve been condemned to

 

Spiders or angels - the fear is like a shadow

Always will be, either here or there

Spiders or angels - I could be pretty, insignificant

Made of phobic flash or a holy cold stoned sculpture of death

 

Reflections of memories, mirrors and angry waves

What’s evil, what’s pure and what’s nothing at all?

Questions to me, we’ve always been the same

Traffic lights, busy streets, little bars and people dancing,

Too many flashes, no wonder why the world spins too fast to me

I’ve been condemned; I’ve been condemned to be

 

Spiders or angels - the fear is like a shadow

Always will be, either here or there

Spiders or angels - I could be pretty, insignificant

Made of phobic flash or a holy cold stoned sculpture of death

I think I've seen you before but we haven't - have we ever met?

We surely talked before, I'm sure - but what have you said?

(Spiders and angels) 

I guess I loved you - I love you, you don't know, do you,

well you'd rather forget

I'm lost and outta control, shut your thoughts up and choose

your beautiful living lie instead

(Spiders - and angels

angels)

A amazing poem. I like the questions and thoughts raise by the poem. Spiders or angels? So many strong lines in this poem. My favorite was the closing lines.

This part of your poem caught my attention. This was an amazing comparison of how dark and how you can you hear the melody in the background when you hear the words. Outstanding job once again! :)

This is a wonderful song. Almost too short, if flowed so well that I didn't really want it to stop where it did. Excellent job!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Im really loving the structure. It's so punchy and the use of syllables cause certain words to jump out. It's sort of percussive. The second verse is really aggressive in its structure. The syllables there really step it up a notch. I like the way it ramps up with the tension. I'd definitely throw a tri-tone in there. It would give your voice the illusion of stopping time.

I can relate to this poem...but there is some other quality that draws me to it.
I have no idea what it is. That is the magic of a great song. It speaks to you in ways you cant describe.
