Live, Love, and Hate

Live, Love, and Hate – by Orpheus

Week 27 – Another Menagerie

First, “Berenice” by Paralysed Age

“Berenice oh Berenice
Dream on my little child
I stepped on board a vision of
An unforgotten love

Berenice oh Berenice
I´m calling out your name
I thought I heard your murmur and
I think I hear it now

Berenice oh Berenice
Dream on my little child
Your painful past and agony
Shall never more return

Berenice oh Berenice
This price of love I paid
But your ghost becomes reality
Your nature my own end

The end is near the end is near
My own insane desire
Dreams of yore are nothing more
Than a chilled mischievous smile

The end is near the end is near
My own insane desire
Fainted lips surround your teeth
My one and only love

Berenice oh Berenice
The grave awaits the condemned
You´re a mad refrlection, just a
Twilight in my dreams
Berenice oh Berenice
This price of love I paid
But your ghost becomes reality
Your nature my own end”

Next, “Sacrifice” by Paralysed Age

“You are my life you are my liberty
You give me delight you know what´s good for me
In you I trust you seal my fate
I always give and you always take
You are my master so lead me on to heaven´s gate

Take me shake me
Wake me up deep in the night
Take me how ever you want
Take me when ever you like
Take me once and take me twice
Make me suffer like Jesus Chist
Take me shake me
Make me the victim of your sacrifice

You are my death you are my dignity
You keep me out of breath
You strike and strangle me
Caress me with your iron glove
I always cry and you always love
Abuse all my devotions
´Cause I can´t get enough

Take me shake me...”

Now, “Mad World” by Tears for Fears (you’ll recognize a line from Week 26)

“All around me are familiar faces,

Worn out places,

Worn out faces,

Bright and early for the daily races,

Going nowhere,

Their tears are filling up their glasses,

No expression,

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,

No tomorrow,

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very, very mad world,

Mad world…

Children waiting for the day they feel good,

Happy birthday,

And I feel the way that every child should,

Sit and listen,

Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous,

No one knew me,

Hello teacher, tell me what’s my lesson,

Look right through me,

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very, very mad world,

Mad world…

Enlarging your world,

Mad world…”

And we end with “Counting Stars” by Sugarcult

“Hey,

I wanna crawl out of my skin,

Apologize for all my sins,

All the things I should have said,

To you,

Hey,

I can’t make it go away,

Over and over in my brain, again,

All the things I should have said,

To you,

Counting stars wishing I was okay,

Crashing down was my biggest mistake,

I never ever meant to hurt you,

I only did what I had to,

Counting stars again,

Hey,

I’ll take this day by day by day,

Under the covers I’m okay,

I guess,

Life’s too short and I feel small,

(chorus x2)”
