Anonymous:
I was into that album last summer (again), and was reminded how fitting the lyrics are to the program situation. Awesome stuff, Zen Arcade is their masterpieces. "Dreams Recurring", "Broken Home, Broken Heart"; that record says a lot.
But then again, you already knew that.......

Froderik:
Been through mass destruction once, but once was not enough
Said we want a second chance, and all they say is "Tough."
A world where science went too far, there's no way to survive
Why can't we get this thing straightened out, cuz I want to stay alive
They burned and bombed the east and north and there's no place left to go
The sun belt's overcrowded, so let's annex Mexico
The peso's only worth a dime, but they've got all that land
No need for a civil war, we know they'll understand, right?
Is that how you like it?
Factories left unattended, crumbling to the ground
We tried to keep them running, but there's no more oil around
We used it all to fight a war that neither side could win
Vietnam was Little League compared to where we've been
Now we live in caves and huts, and we don't have pay TV
And everyone is signing up for the newest industry
Standard Oil goes solar power, and all try to make a buck
So I'll sit around and smoke cigarettes, and I'll babble "What the fuck?"

"I'm One"
Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I'm a loser - no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.
But I'm one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one.
Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight.
Where do you get
That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right.
But I'm one etc.
I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even tanned look on my face.
Ill fitting clothes
I blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud.
But I'm one.
try another castle:
Happiness is just a word to me
And it might have meant a thing or two
If I'd known the difference
Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life, another smokin' gun
A sign of my indifference
Always keepin' safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in
Let me tell you some have tried
But I would slam the door so tight
That they could never get in
Kept my cool under lock and key
And I never shed a tear
Another sign of my condidtion
Fear of love or bitter vanity
That kept me on the run
The main events at my confession
I kept a chain upon my door
That would shake the shame of Cain
Into a blind submission
The burning ghost without a name
Was calling all the same
But I wouldn't listen
The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawlin' into the fire
The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept fallin' into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run and hide
Had totaled my existnce
Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse that this
But could I go the distance
I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' off each piece of chain
Until they all were broken
But no matter how I tried
The other side was locked so tight
That door it wouldn't open
Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
I just gotta get through the door
And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
I just gotta break through the door
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Break through the door

Early morning without warning
Woke me with a scare
I had that dream again
That the sun won’t set
Make me warm or take me home
Its so cold in here
Can’t we meet somewhere
If we went up there
If we went up there
This winter
Meet me in the summertime
We can move the air
Sweet Virginia countryside
I will meet you there
Loving licks and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep stairing at the sun
Pray for summer’s end.
Come on over break my storm
Oceans all ahead
Come inside by bed
Give me night out there
Every moment we have stolen
All we have to share
Noone wanted them
But you know I did
You know I did
This moment
Meet me in the summertime
We can move the air
Sweet Virginia countryside
I will meet you there
Loving licks and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep stairing at the sun
Pray for summer’s end
Meet me in the summertime
We can move the air
Sweet Virginia countryside
I will meet you there
Loving licks and cherry wine
Moonshine in your hair
Just keep stairing at the sun
Pray for summer’s end
Meet me in the summertime
Meet me in the summertime
Meet me in the summertime
We can move the air
Meet me in the summertime
I will meet you there
