Por La Noche

One of my fav. songs these days. Though, don't ask me what she is saying..

Catharsis

.. and the glass shatters, breaking into a million pieces, as the first ray of light, hits his make believe world. This moment was bound to come, he tried to avert it by weaving more fantasies, like a pigeon closing his eyes to a cat. But the real master likes to weave his own yarn, shredding his Kevlar into pieces, without a care in world. Just when he thought it was all about to end, it just stopped millimeters away from his heart. Everything froze in that moment, literally froze, he could see his defenses blown to smithereens. Still, yes still is the right word or might be not, it was so still. The cow webs were disintegrating, floating like snow flakes in the air around him, this was the catharsis. He was feeling so light, so free, he felt he could fly ...

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
-Bob Dylan

No Directions Home

I am going through what I call 'Discover Bob Dylan' phase these days. A snippet from one of songs looping in my iPod these days.

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Wilderness

I live my life alone

among the wilderness

until the day i turn to stone

Life is but a dream

among the wilderness

Song by Agalloch

To stand or To walk away

His life taught me there's a time to stand your ground. His death taught me there's a time to walk away
--Green Street Elite "The Movie"

November Rain

It has been raining over here for last 3 weeks, ain't no big fan, but reminded me of rains in Mysore and how beautiful the Infy campus used to look.

So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
-Guns N' Roses

Gangs of New York

I rose up with full heart and buried him in his own blood

-Bill 'The Butcher'

Just found this interesting

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
- Dr. Seuss

Chop Suey

In my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die.

-- System of a Down

Big City Life

The Linguist across the seas and the oceans,
A permanent Itinerant is what I;ve chosen.
I find myself in Big City prison, arisen from the vision of man kind.
Designed, to keep me discreetly neatly in the corner,
you'll find me with the flora and the fauna and the hardship.
Back a yard is where my heart is still I find it hard to depart this Big City Life.

--MattaFix

Never got stuck before

With empty palms people act empty,
those who got a lot act like they don't have plenty,
so u say u getting places but u ain't moving at all,
still some race on and some sit back and wait for his call
-- Outlandish, Walou

I have listened to this song so many times before, but these verses got stuck in my head today. I dunno there was something in the Chennai air in the morning(apart from the humidity),it just got stuck ... and I have been humming them from the morning.

Never got stuck before (I am lying, sometimes i get stuck with Himesh resh-chamiyya songs also).
