“Give Me Some Meaning in This
Meaning-Less World”
KH
Give me some
meaning in this meaning-less world,
you’ve got no worries, dear,
I’ll be your girl,
and if everyone starts to hate you like they hated you before,
then, rest assured,
your soul is safe with me, and
just so you know, here
I’ve waited patiently for you to come back.
Once you’ve
succumbed to your senses, I
will be waiting for you, I
will be waiting.
And if
everyone starts hating you like they did before,
then know that it was you, only you, walking out that door;
you were mischievous from the start,
you took off and left me with no heart,
now I guess I am just…
groping around, just trying to make a sound,
noises can’t be heard,
“Sorry dear, it must’ve been a dream deferred”.
It doesn’t
matter because
I’ve tried a thousand times to know
what was exactly troubling you, and
then I guess I must’ve passed out in some point or another.
I wasn’t
trying to,
the only wrong I ever did was that I loved you,
now it’s the other way around;
but no it’s not you this time,
no, you’ve no authority to break into my life.
Just one
more time,
one last try,
one last… call for help,
I promise I swear to the heavens and the earth below my feet,
they’re telling me to hold on to this ride,
all hands… inside.
But tell me
exactly what I did,
to make you stiff and rigid,
I didn’t intentionally want to make you cry,
but I guess it was because of something inside.
No, I didn’t
want it to end,
besides, you were only my best friend,
lovers held up so high,
and someone must’ve cut the string, now both of us have died.
Look at me;
a sloppy trail of blood and grime,
I should’ve never stayed and wasted all your time,
there’s a spark in there, yeah, I’ve seen it before,
but it’s not like that at all, no, not anymore.
Where I once
saw hope, now I see a darkness swallowing you whole,
I used to love you, yeah, I used to love you,
where there were fields of roses, now there are just carcasses;
open for speculation,
I used to love you, yeah, I used to love you,
the tears that used to run down the moon,
I can’t grieve, no, not yet,
it’s just too soon.
Tell me something;
dear
were you afraid of me?
It’s just
the way you were,
and the way that I so casually
took your front piece.

The deal’s
been set; the shadow’s been cast; the sauna is so hot
and yet I could stand it.
The devil’s
gone missing; the angels keep singing; there is no room for improper adultery
but sometimes, you still have room for just one more…
The birds’
all sing; the dancers’ they drink; the homes all close in on themselves.
But I am
the more sensible man
and I won’t let that drown me down.
Have you
seen him?
The one that goes bonk when you meet
him
Have you seen him?
The one that goes blink once you
tease him
Have you seen him?
The one that goes oink when you touch
him
Have you seen him?
The one that goes
have you seen him?
The one that goes
the one that goes
The one that
goes missing every single day
The one that never seems to remember what it was; your
name
And I swear, one time I did love him; for a time I did admire
everything… he did.
I can’t keep
quiet
I want to tell the world how I feel
They’ll all be waiting
For me
They’ll all keep wondering what it was that bothered me that day
So much that I pushed them away
I never
wanted to
I never wanted
I never wanted to
Here, give me one last try
One last
chance to tell you everything that happened to me
one last chance
And a smile
Haven’t you always liked the way I looked whenever I gave a great
Big
Smile?
