Christa’s Musings

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie

This music video is fantastic.

I know you’ve got it figured out 
Tell me what I am all about 
And I just might learn a thing or two 
Hundred about you, maybe about you 
I’m the end of your telescope 
I don’t change just to suit your vision 
‘Cause I am bound by a fraying rope 
Around my hands, tied around my hands 

And you close your eyes when I say I’m breaking free 
And put your hands over both your ears 
Because you cannot stand to believe I’m not 
The perfect girl you thought 
Well what have I got to lose?

And what if I’m a weeping willow? 
Laughing tears upon my pillow?
What if I’m a socialite who wants to be alone?
What if I’m a toothless leopard?
What if I’m a sheepless shepherd?
What if I’m an angel without wings to take me home?

You don’t know me 
Never will, never will 
I’m outside your picture frame 
And the glass is breaking now 
You can’t see me 
Never will, never will 
If you’re never gonna see.

-What If, Emilie Autumn

Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun to understand
When it’s time to move on there is no one
To hold your hand.
So let go, let go, let go.

Here the night is fine
The stars are sparks of steel
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
You tell me something real, say
“Don’t try, don’t try
Just remember how, remember, remember”

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn’t even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

-Deb Talan, Ashes On Your Eyes
Listen to the song!
