Memories trapped in time.

[fifthdream]

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide. Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time... The night is my companion, and solitude my guide. Would i spend forever here and not be satisfied?

Through this world i've stumbled, so many times betrayed, trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved... Oh, you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes. My body aches to breathe your breath. Your words keep me alive.

Into this night i wander. It's morning that i dread. Another day of knowing of the path i fear to tread. Oh, into the sea of waking dreams i follow without pride. 'Cuz nothing stands between us here, and i won't be denied.

And i would be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard... I'll take your breath away. And after, i'd wipe away the tears. Just close your eyes, Dear.

Just close your eyes...


I have to admit i really do love this song. When it was newish, way way way before Sarah McLachlan was all over effing VH1 or whatever all the time, i bought the single, and i used to listen to it on repeat, every day, many many times, especially as i went to sleep. Her voice is just so incredible. I went to see her with a couple of friends back then, and heard it live, and it was one of those weird, clear moments where everything is just too amazing. (And there is SO much back story to that moment that i may never ever tell anyone.) ...There's a lot of backstory now, i thnk, that still gives it a lot of meaning.

Anyway, i probably haven't heard this song in literally years, and was digging through my collection, and randomly decided to rip it. As soon as it played, i was surprised to find that i not only knew every single word to it, but also that i can sing the hell out of it.

Maybe i'll cover it... a nice, sinister, creepy nasty stalker version. (That's the real story behind the song anyway. [Google "sarah mclachlan" possession lawsuit .] I'd love to play that up.)
