This describes my mood perfectly (Song Lyrics Warning) |
|
From the cradle bars comes a beckoning voice it sends you spinning you have no choice...... You hear laughter cracking through the walls it sends you spinning you have no choice Following the footsteps of a rag doll dance we are entranced Spellbound And don't forget when your elders forget to say their prayers take them by the legs and throw them down the stairs When you think your toys have gone beserk it's an illusion you cannot shirk you hear laughter cracking through the walls it sends you spinning you have no choice Following the footsteps of a rag doll dance we are entranced Spellbound
Khash.

|
Artist: Savoy Brown Song Title: Hellbound train Album: Live At The Record Plant Kim Simmonds/Andy Silvester Chrysalis Music Ltd.
Hellbound Train I'm on it's track Too late now to turn my back Conductor coming ticket in his hand Come to claim my soul Take me to his land
Hellbound Train I been so wrong Too late now I'm moving on Conductor standing watch in his hand Got to get aboard take you to his land
I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again Take a last look lady, yes hard and long 'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Hellbound Train driving slow Move on down to the Hell below Conductor please won't you lend a hand? Got to get on board take me to your land
Yes I know I've been so wrong Too late now I'm moving on Hellbound Train I'm on it's track Moving down I can't look back
I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again Take a last look lady, yes hard and long 'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train Take a long look lady 'cause you won't see me again Take a last look lady, yes hard and long 'Cause I'm going down the road on the Hellbound Train
Lost and flying down the road on the Hellbound Train Lost and flying down the road on the Hellbound Train Hand and hand with the devil

Little kids are compulsive and wild and strange. They spin and dance until they are feeling dizzy and sick. Why? Because they have no choice.
And I was dancing around my apartmant this morning like a madman. Or a child. Because I had no choice. It had to be done.
To put it a different way....
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone I recommend walking around naked in your living room Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill) It feels so good (swimming in your stomach) Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn You love you learn You cry you learn You lose you learn You bleed you learn You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone I certainly do I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time Feel free Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind) Hold it up (to the rays) You wait and see when the smoke clears
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do) Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway) The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You grieve you learn You choke you learn You laugh you learn You choose you learn You pray you learn You ask you learn You live you learn
OK, not exactly the same sentiment. The first is a little scary and wild this a little more praising the freedom to act stupidly. But it has to be done. It keeps us young and interested and happy.
(None of that made any sense, did it?)
Neoteny, my dear Peggy, neoteny.
Khash.

5. Actually, my dear Khash..... |
|
It did make sense...I hadn't seen your original poem from the eyes of a child...
But with that idea in my head, I just now re-read the poem, and it made PERFECT sense...
I really am enjoying your intepretation of the second poem...
And this makes sense, as well...
The one word I don't know is neoteny...
You fascinate me...:blush:

Childlikeness (to mangle a word).
Humans are credited as being the most intelligent species, right? Humans also have the longest childhood of all species. Many scientists and philosophers have seen a connection between the two.
Infants (of all mammalian species at least) are inquisitive, impulsive, creative, playful. That usually ends with the onset of maturity. But in humans, giving that up or retaining it can actually be a matter of conscious choice.
It's never to late to have a happy childhood.
There's no point in becoming an adult if you can't act childish.
I bought myself a bottle of bubbles today and I have every intention of going out and blowing them. Bubbles for everyone!
Also, I highly recommend Play-Do and crayons.....
Khash.
