I Know You

I know you
You were too short
You had bad skin
You couldn’t talk to them very well
Words didn’t seem to work
They lied when they came out of your mouth
You tried so hard to understand them
You wanted to be part of what was happening
You saw them having fun
And it seemed like such a mistery
Almost magic
Made you think
that there was something wrong with you
You’d look in the mirror trying to find it
You thought that you were ugly
And that everyone was looking at you
So you learned to be invisible
To look down
To avoid conversation
The hours, days, weekends
Ah, the weekend nights alone
Where were you
In the basement
In the attic
In your room
Working some job
Just to have something to do
Just to have a place to put yourself
Just to have a way to get away from them
A chance to get away from the ones
that made you feel so strange
and ill at ease inside yourself
Did you ever get invited to one of their parties
You sat and wondered if you would go or not
For hours you imagined the scenarios that might transpire
If they would laugh at you
If you would know what to do
If you would have the right things on
If they would notice that you came from a different planet
Did you get all brave in your thoughts
Like you were going to be able to go in there
and deal with it
and have a great time
Did you think you might be the ‚life of the party’
That all these people were gonna talk to you
And you would find out that you were wrong
That you had a lot of friends
And you weren’t so strange after all
Did you end up going
Did they mess with you
Did they single you out
Did you find out that you were invited
because they thought you were so weird
Yeah I think I know
You spent a lot of time full of hate
A hate that was pure as sunshine
A hate that saw for miles
A hate that kept you up at night
A hate that filled your every waking moment
A hate that carried you for a long time
Yes I think I know you
You couldn’t figure out what they saw in the way they lived
Home was not home
Your room was home
A corner was home
The place they weren’t, that was home
I know you
You’re sensitive
And you hide it
Because you fear getting stepped on one more time
it seems that when you show a part of yourself
that is the least bit vulnerable
Someone takes advantage of you
One of THEM steps on you
They mistake kindness for weakness
But you know the difference
You’ve been the brunt of their weakness for years
And strength is something that you know a bit about
Because you HAD to be strong to keep yourself alive
You know yourself very well now
And you don’t trust people
You know them too well
You try to find that special person
Someone you could be with
Someone you can touch
Someone you can talk to
Someone you won’t feel so strange around
And you found that they don’t really exist
You feel closer to people on movie screens
Yeah, I think I know you
You spent a lot of time daydreaming
And people have made comment to that effect
Telling you that you are self-involved and self-centred
But they don’t know do they
About the long nightshifts alone
About the years of keeping yourself company
All the nights you wrapped your arms around yourself
So you could imagine someone holding you
The hours of indecision, self-doubt
The intense depression
The blinding hate
The rage that made you stagger
The devastation of rejection
Well maybe they do know
But if they do they sure do a good job of hiding it
It astounds you how they can be soo smooth
How they seem to pass trough life
As if life itself was some divine gift
And it infuriates you to watch yourself
With your apparent skill in
Finding every way possible to screw it up
For you, life is a long trip
Terrifying and wonderful
Birds sing to you at night
The rain and the sun,
The changing seasons
Are true friends
Solitude is a hard-won ally
Faithful and patient
Yeah I think I know you

interessiert das jemand, is es blöd, oder langweilig, uninteressant vielleicht?
ein alter hut, sehr treffend, jemand erkennt sich wieder, einfach zu lang, mit musik unterlegt viel schöner, hat sich irgendwer die mühe gemacht es zu lesen, wenigstens die hälfte unter umständen, sonst irgend welche meinungen dazu? :?

Puh... sagen wirs mal so.. der Text geht mir zumindest sehr persönlich Nahe, vielleicht hab ich den Text auch nur falsch Verstanden oder Missinterpretiert :?: :!:

Eine Meinung dazu könnte ich nicht preisgeben, da das wieder einer (wie gesagt) Texte ist der vielen Menschen wahrscheinlich Nahe geht wenn Sie sich richtig damit beschäftigen (beschäftigt haben).

Und ich habe mir die Mühe gemacht und alles durchgelesen und wenn Du noch mehr solche Lyrik hast bin ich auch gerne bereit mir auch diese Durchzulesen.

ja, der text geht wohl jedem menschen nahe da sich die miesten doch auf der einen oder anderen seite befunden haben, oder zumindest zeuge eines solchen schicksals wurden. hilft natürlich nicht weiter, aber wenigstens fühlt sich dann manch einer verstanden, auch wenn es keine gute erfahrung ist, das gefuehl zu haben das musik einen mehr versteht als eltern freunde, so vorhanden, und seine mitmenschen.

@XaDis ob du ihn misinerpretiert hast kann ich nicht sagen, da du deine interpretation ja nicht publik gemacht hast.
