thanks to olav&jamir for these ones
let's see...
so close to fall asleep
Time, go backwards, I left myself behind
don't care no more to fight my fears
as thoughts ripple in the shadows of my mind
Lord Im so tired, tired of denying
so tired of the bitter taste of my tears
home
was such a sweet place
almost like my mother's womb
a safe place
a warm cave
Yeah clocks, move these hands, the other way around
until I can perceive my scattered ashes
as the leaves cripple before their beauty can be found
Lord I'm so tired, tired
in order not to fall asleep, I'm ripping off my lashes
I will close
these eyes
no more
oh but home
such a sweet place
take me there
such a safe place
my mother's womb
keep me warm

I love the first part of the lyrics, but
you lost me at the second verse. Would you care to give me some background or your ideas for what you wrote.
Sorry if it is a stupid question.
Blessings. Olav
hello olav.
sorry that I changed your words a bit...just seemed to fit better that way.
I'm glad you like it...
of course, I'll try to explain the second verse to you(not sure if I can 'cause it's not as clear to me as it should be for I wrote it*smile*)
alright
the first line about the clocks refers to the first verse about time moving backwards, that's pretty obvious, I think, the person wants time to bring him(or her...let's assume it's a male person) back to the point where he stopped existing in a real(human) form-the point where his ashes were scattered
the next line about the leaves is somehow the third line of the first verse revisited...and still has something to do with the person- he grew&lost his beauty before anyone else even noticed
and now he's tired of it all but somehow can't give up on life yet...so he's ripping of his eye lashes so he cannot fall asleep(-no eye lashes means you can still see even with your eyes closed-might be different in real life, but...anyway :wink: )
then the chorus again...keeps on longing for the only place where he felt protected&quite alright...like a baby in its mother's womb...you could understand it that way also:he wants to creep back into his mother's womb literally...ohh creepy;)
I hope that helped.
thanx
