Lyrics from me...down today.

[aldo1980]

hi P.
i'm not so good this evening, thanks for asking. no matter how hard i try i just can't get my life back on track. in a way it's a miricle i don't have any money tonight otherwise i'd be in oblivion by now. lol.
yea, italian public health is the same kind of system they have in the uk.
i've been to the uk a few times. nice place. nice people. but i've been hearing on the news that it's getting very rough over there. people get killed and kniffed for no reason.
a few months ago my buddy and myself went to london for a weekend. great city.
i like your lyrics. i find them an interesting insight.
i'm in a musical mood myself tonight (listening to marilyn manson right now. lol) and i've just been getting some chordes to manson's "last day on earth" song, which i'm about to try to play it in guitar.

P-S: tried to post this last night but it didn't want to go.

i hope you don't mind if i hijack your thread for a moment.
as i said before i'm in a musical mood tonight. that song was a pretty easy song to learn. so tomorrow i'll record it - i do that. i record any songs i can play. not that i'd ever let anybody hear them (i don't think i play the guitar all that good) but just so i can go back after a few months and see how i've progressed. also, i guess, just in case i were to loose a finger or anything and never be able to play again. lol
so just to add something personal to it i've changed the lyrics (contrary to how they sound i'm not actually even thinking about my last night on earth at all! lol) and, as your a rocker and seem to be good with lyrics and poetry, i wanted your opinion:


The Last Night On Earth by Aldo

yesterday was a million years ago.
in all my past life i've been an a**h**e.
now i've found you it's almost too late.
as this earth seems obliviating.
we're all trembling in our churches.
high and dying our skin is glass.
it's so empty here without you.
so i smoke my xanax pills.

i know it's my last night on earth.
we'll be together as the planet dies.
i know it's our last night on earth.
we'll never say goodbye.

and the dogs slaughter each other softly.
love burns its casualties.
i am damaged beyond repair.
spill the seeds at our childrens feet.
it's so empty here without you.
i know i wanna be dead.

i know it's my last night on earth.
we'll be together as the planet dies.
i know it's our last night on earth.
we'll never say goodbye.
we'll never say goodbye.

so what do you think? just for the record the original ones are:

The Last Day On Earth by Marilyn Manson

Yesterday was a million years ago
In all my past lives I played an a**h**e
Now I found you, it's almost too late
And this earth seems obliviating
We are trembling in our crutches
High and dead our skin is glass
I'm so empty here without you
I crack my xerox hands

I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye

And the dogs slaughter each other softly
Love burns its casualties
We are damaged provider modules
Spill the seeds at our children's feet
I'm so empty here without you
I know they want me dead

I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye

I like it......the subtleties and nuances of the changes you made make the song have more sense to it in my opinion.....Manson is a great artist, but can be a bit sterile with the lyrics.....you brought a sense of personality to the song, good job Aldo....

Sorry to have taken so long, i didn't notice this thread had a second page till just now. You can prose in my thread anythime you like Aldo....you are very good at it indeed, thank you for sharing your talent i really appreciate it. I do death metal and rock vocals as well as badly play guitar....maybe someday we can jam eh? That would be cool.

[October]

I need some time in the sunshine.....people say it's just a waste of time.

Maybe i don't really want to know.

Maybe i just don't believe.

Chasing the sun, let me be the one that shines with you.

In the morning i don't know what to do.

Bittersweet memories call the dead to walk with me.

As the day was dawning.....just don't go away.

All but dreams remain when your chained to the razor blade.

All but dreams remain......when your chained to the razor blade.

Tomorrow doesn't know what it doesn't know too soon.

If you have to go i wish you would just go.

Say what you say............................................... .............just don't go away.

[least]

hope you're feeling some better. There is hope out there, just sometimes it's hiding or we can't see it cause we're hiding. But it's there.

October,

I am brand new here, and am working on not drinking, just for tonight. That's as far as I can even think about right now. I obviously have no words of advice, but do want to thank you for helping me by sharing your thoughts and feelings. I wish you the best!

just because there are clouds it doesn't mean the sun's not going to shine again.

Thanks Least.....Aldo.....Flgirl....it always cheers me up to hear from all you guys here...

I'm doing allright i guess....battling depression is the hard part of being 3 mos off the pills....still have my go rounds with alcohol though....although i havn't drank in a couple days due to an empty wallet. Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon.......

some words that came to me.......

"Haunted"
Whispers in the dark....my eyes adjust to the dim.

On a pale horse.....

She swims through the tops of tall trees...calling me to run with her.

[October]

Mazzy Star.....they have the same power over my emotions as do Oasis, Green Day, DOWN, ...........

When i'm depressed.....fade into you by MS is perfection.

When i'm feeling down i can just fall right into their music and pretty much drown in it.

It is only when i'm here with my treasured friends on SR that i feel ok.
You guys are great.

When left to my own devices i'm a trainwreck.

I'm sorry to whine....being a baby today....it isn't the best day. I shouldn't, but i'm going to do everything in my power to get drunk tonight....it's been days. It may not happen, i'm broke. I need a break....a release from my own prison in my head. I am so grateful for all you wonderful friends and this fantastic site.....i can be me here with no fear. I have schizophrenia....and fear and paranoia is a big part of my life....so i come here to commune with you.
