it's impossible to be anything but a memory, an unspoken feeling between two openings

About Me


Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul
And she's kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it
Sittin' in their seats
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' to be
Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day of the week
People look right through her
Baby doll, check your cheek
And she's kind of like a poet
Who finds it hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' to be
I've been achin' for a while now, friend
I've been achin' hard for years
Well she's kind of like an artist
Who uses paints no more
You never show me what you're doing
Never show a soul
Well, I saw one of your pictures
There was nothin' that I could see
If no one's on your canvas
Well, I'm achin' to be
She closes her mouth to speak and
Closes her eyes to see
Thought about an' only loved
She's achin' to be
Just like me
Ada don’t talk about reasons why you don’t want to talk about reasons
why you don’t wanna talk
Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
all alone, all together, all together in the dark
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
Ada put the sounds of your house in a song
try to be speechless for a minute
if you think you're gonna faint go out in the hallway
let them all have your neck
Ada don’t stay in the lake too long
it lives alone and it barely knows you
it’ll have a nervous breakdown and fall
into a thousand pieces around you
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth
waiting for Ada
Ada hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada don’t talk about reasons why you don’t want to talk about reasons
why you don’t wanna talk
now that you got everybody you consider sharp
all alone, all together, all together in the dark
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada, I’ve been hoping you know your way around
Kamikazi dragon fly
Sneak attacks on my eye
Out of town to clean my brains
With tarot, trains and smoke
And this nothing is more real
Than this something my mind can feel
And characterless story repeats everyday
We're all just broken messages in bottles
Floating away
And what does it take a loons song to break
Crying in a bubble on an endless lake
And this nothing is more real
Than this something my mind can feel

Television:



It's noisy and disruptive, and certainly lacks redeeming qualities, albeit it's capacity to project film, and my openly shallow tendency to watch Chelsea Lately and Sex and the City. No, people of myspace, i am not above this. I am human, too.

Books:


Friedrich Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Beckett, Kafka, Baudrillard, Kierkegaard, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Atwood, Woolf, etc. Also, many philosophers whose names i could compile, but shall leave you bereft of a list, as i don't feel so inclined. Things i find interesting... philosophy, linguistics, biology, evolution, genetics, the brain, consciousness, memory, prehistory, mythology, theology, consumerism, morality/ethics, economics, medicine/psychiatry, capitalism, culture, energy, environment, media, corporations, crime/punishment, labour, music, so on and so forth... it's a broad, vague list... Isn't it? I'll read anything and everything, and i feel blessed by the ability, even if it is limited. I've started more books than i could read in any life time... unless a cult betrayal provided me the prescription for the secret of immortality. Even so, i'd have to politely decline. My interests are too many and too varied, and, truth be told, i want to know EVERYTHING. However, there is too much... this is the age of INFORMATION. The more we learn, the less we know.
