    I think I've posted this before, for the same question...what can I say..I'm consistent..

    All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, I cannot honestly decipher its true meaning..which makes it all the more enchanting...Dylan was on some superior wavelength when he wrote it for sure...it reads like some religious scripture.



    "There must be some kind of way out of here"
    Said the joker to the thief
    "There's too much confusion
    I can't get no relief
    Businessmen they drink my wine
    Plowmen dig my earth
    None will level on the line
    Nobody offered his word"



    "No reason to get excited"
    The thief, he kindly spoke
    "There are many here among us
    Who feel that life is but a joke
    But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
    And this is not our fate
    So let us stop talkin' falsely now
    The hour's getting late
    Hey!


    All along the watchtower
    Princes kept the view
    While all the women came and went
    Barefoot servants too
    Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
    A wildcat did growl
    Two riders were approaching
    And the wind began to howl

    All along the watchtower
    All along the watchtower


    The BSG rendition has always been my favourite..no discredit to Dylan or Hendrix. I just love the eastern sound timbre..and it was executed perfectly in the show...

    I always have an LP song in my head. Her music is healing and speaks loudly. She has a lot of music about recovery, finding your own faith, wlw love, working through trauma etc check her out!

    "We are kneeling at the river's edge and tempting
    All the steps to follow closer right behind
    Is it only when you feel a part is empty
    That it's gnawing at the corners of your mind, I wont beg you for mercy, I wont come to you kind
    what you see is the worst me not the last of my kind."

    I'm loving your light, vulnerable
    Letting your guard down is honorable
    'Specially when the past ain't been that friendly to you, but there's magic in that
    You the flower that I gotta protect
    And keep alive in the wintertime, hey, don't you die yet
    You been way more than a friend of mine, we more like fam
    I raised you, you raised me, let's turn this whole life 'round
    You can confide in me
    I can take the weight up off your shoulder blades and try to store the pain inside of me
    Like, why the world do you like that?
    Like they don't know you, God sent, but me, I view you like that
    I'm sneaking glances, thanking God that he drew you like that
    Beautiful black child, come and shed your black cloud
    For your vibe and your smile I don't mind a lil' rain
    I'm your dog, ears perk up at the sound of your name
    Counting your main, wildfire, can't handle your flame
    Download your strain, wild high, come drown in your fragrance
    You that red pill that a *kitten* found in Matrix
    Before I had you this *kitten* was fantasy
    You plant a seed, it grows some roots, a branch and leaves
    Becomes a tree of life until our nights are filled
    With peace from stress and strife
    And that's the blessin' that I get from wifing you
    'Cause you entrusted me with the key to your heartbeat, and you smart
    'Cause even though I need a new start
    Due to my past transgressions you believed in me
    I guess the light I see in you is what you see in me, Lord

    Hi, my name is not important
    I'm not from here, I'm imported
    I drink liquor like it's water
    Hope my liver can afford it
    I've been lyin' here with...
    I've been lyin' here, I'll be lyin' here
    I'm under the covers like
    What happened here ain't nothing sacred
    *kitten* that got me *kitten* up is
    I know that dude just saw me naked
    Nursing a broken heart
    But who'd've thought it'd take me ages?
    I ended up here 'cause my girl said: fake it 'til you make it

    The clothesline of cold eyes
    Is washing away the face before
    Now tell me what's wrong you see everyone's gone
    You gotta do your best to decorate this dying' day
    This dying' day

    “You're the boy that talks but says nothin'
    A big game to the ones that you think will believe you, yeah
    But you don't know how to read
    The look on my face when it says, "yeah I've read that book too"
    And who the hell's impressed by you?
    I want names of the people that we know that are fallin' for this
    You would sell your own mother out
    And then betray your dead brother with another hypocritical kiss”

    Jack White

    i closed my eyes for a second
    when they opened
    you weren't there

    the door shut tight
    i was vacuum packed,
    shrink-wrapped out of air

    The Completion Backward Principle. Not many people of my age have heard of The Tubes, but I took it out of my dad's record collection when I was a kid and I love it!

    “And it's not enough to tell me that you care
    When we both know that words are empty air
    You give me nothing”

    How did I end up this way?
    A constant knot in my gut,
    Tied with uncertainty and with lust.
    A classic case, I suppose,
    A haunted man who can't outrun his ghosts.
    They're in my skin and my bones.

    You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue
    But you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
    And you decided purple just wasn't for you

    When logic and proportion
    Have fallen sloppy dead
    And the White Knight is talking backwards
    And the Red Queen's off with her head
    Remember what the dormouse said
    Feed your head
    Feed your head

    Do you wanna be an angel?
    Do you wanna be a star?
    Do you wanna play some magic on my guitar?
    Do you wanna be a poet?
    Do you wanna be my string?
    You could be anything
    Do you wanna be the lover of another, undercover?
    You could even be the man on the moon
    Do you wanna be the player?
    Do you wanna be the string?

    “My internal monologue
    Is saturated analogue
    It's scratched and drifting,
    I've become attached to the idea,
    It's all a shifting dream bittersweet philosophy
    I've got no idea how I even got here

    I'm resentful,
    I'm having an existential time crisis
    What bliss!
    Daylight savings won't fix this mess.
    Under-worked and over-sexed
    I must express my disinterest.
    The rats are back inside my head
    What would Freud've said?”
