"Hello, It's me. It's me calling out, I can't see you.
Hello, It's me crying out, crying out, are you there?!
Hello, It's me. It's me. I want to touch you.
It's me throwing stones from the stars on your mixed up world.
....
Been circling 'round for twenty years,
And in that time I've seen all the fires and all the liars.
Been calling home for twenty years,
And in that time I've heard the screams rebound to me,
While you were making history.
I could see the fire!"
- Richard Ashcroft (The Verve)
"And feel the juice run as she flies.
Run my wings under her sighs.
As the flames of eternity rise.
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn.
Oh really my dear, I can't see what we fear.
Standing here with ourselves in between us.
And at the door, we can't say more, than just another day.
And without a sound, I turn around, and walk away."
-Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil)
"We can walk our road together,
If our goals are all the same.
We can run alone and free,
If we pursue a different aim.
Let the love of truth be lighted.
Let the truth of love shine clear.
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With heart and mind united
In a single
Perfect
Sphere."
- Neil Peart (Rush)
"Terror reigns, drenchin',
Quenchin' the thirst of the power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon!
The rotten sore on the face of mother earth gets bigger
The trigger’s cold, empty your purse!
...
Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes, not need,
Just feed the war cannibal animal!
I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery!
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em!
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally round the family, pockets full of shells!
-Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against The Machine)
" You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own."
-Tricky
