alexmegamiEdit: I realized I can't count. There are 20 songs, not 17.
So I decided I was going to do a random Lidia thing this week. I don't remember how it got started, but I decided that what I'd do would be to take a whole bunch of songs and piece together bits of lyrics from them.
So MSN became my impromptu Madness Network, as I asked everyone who was online at the time to give me their most depressing song. I added in about six of my own, and voilà, [20] songs mixed together into one really depressing one.
No, I don't know what it means. I just wrote the damn thing.
Cookies to anyone who can tell me all [20] songs! Not all of the lines from the same songs are together, so consider yourself warned.
Why are you scared?
Am I origami
Folded up and just pretend
This one goes out to the one I left behind
Some of them want to use you
What pain are you feeling?
Would you know my name?
I find it kind of funny
Would it be the same?
Obscured in exile
I find it kind of sad
Demented as the motives in your head
Whose fault, now, you're thinking
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I wanted to be with you alone
If I saw you in Heaven
A spider web and it's me in the middle
I kept everything inside and even though I tried
I twist and turn
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
Here I am in love in a bubble
It all fell apart
I've been alone all along
Alone, left here in dust amidst my fears and doubts
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
Never get to stop and open your eyes
What is it in me that refuses to believe
I've loved you all along
I will let you down
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
Or the moment of truth in your lies
Love is like a flame, It burns you when it's hot
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Life's shattered dreams I could have done without
I will make you hurt
And you bleed just to know you're alive
Scream without raising your voice

Date: 2003-05-22 03:09 pm (UTC)"Lovers in a Dangerous Time" by Bruce Cockburn or the BNL cover is in there.
"Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls is in there.
And I think "Tears of Heaven" by Eric Clapton & Co is in there.
I'd guess more, but I'm only using google to doublecheck the lyrics I recognize. Any beyond that's cheating ;)
So am I 4/4? ^^
(Fabulous idea, by the way!)

The other 3 evade my music senses. They must be pop! Well, we'll see.

Now, to be fair... one of the songs is Japanese. *grin* So I didn't expect you to get that. Though I can currently only remember three of the four songs you missed. x.o There's the XJ one, the SM one, the TFF one, aaaand... Oh! Right. The E one.
Yeah, so three of those I wouldn't expect you to know, and one is a pretty random line out of the song I took it from, so.
